Seat
One paid user account on a team or enterprise plan, usually priced per person per month.
What it means
A seat is one paid user account on a plan. Team and enterprise pricing is often quoted per seat, so the cost rises with each person who needs access. Some vendors offer different seat types, such as a standard seat and a premium seat with higher usage. The price on a pricing page may be for one seat, not the whole team.
When you buy seats, check the minimum seat count, whether seats can be added or removed mid-term, and whether shared reports stay with the team if someone leaves. Anthropic's enterprise plan, for example, lists a 20-seat minimum. Ask for the seat terms in writing, including what happens to a seat holder's reports when they leave. Count the people who will run research each month and price that number, not everyone who might try the tool.
