 To use Pro or Max with a team, select **Get For Team** in subscription settings and choose the tier and number of seats. Credits are pooled across the organization at the per-seat rate (e.g. Max for Teams with 3 seats = 75,000 credits/mo pooled).
 
 Internal organization members use seats and contribute to the team's pooled credit allocation. External workspace members do not join your organization, do not appear in the organization roster, and do not count toward your seat total.

   { question: "What happens when I exceed my plan's credit limit?", answer: "By default, your usage is capped at your plan's included credits and runs will stop. If you enable on-demand billing or manually raise your usage limit in Settings, you can continue running workflows and pay for the overage at the end of the billing period." },
   { question: "How does the 1.1x hosted model multiplier work?", answer: "When you use Sim's hosted API keys (instead of bringing your own), a 1.1x multiplier is applied to the base model pricing for Agent blocks. This covers infrastructure and API management costs. You can avoid this multiplier by using your own API keys via the BYOK feature." },
   { question: "Are there any free options for AI models?", answer: "Yes. If you run local models through Ollama or VLLM, there are no API costs for those model calls. You still pay the base run charge of 1 credit per run." },

 - **Enterprise:** Custom pricing and custom credits.
 
 According to the [Sim cost documentation](https://docs.sim.ai/platform/costs), one credit equals $0.005. Each run includes a base charge of one credit, with hosted model cost converted to credits. Sim-hosted models use a 1.1× multiplier. BYOK lets customers pay model providers directly at provider pricing with no Sim markup.
