What are Workspaces

4 min read

Understand how workspaces organize your projects, people, and billing in one shared environment.

A workspace is a shared environment where your projects, people, and billing come together. Every Sticklight account starts with one workspace, and everything you build lives inside it.

Workspace Basics

These rules define how workspaces work in Sticklight.

Projects belong to a workspace. Every project you create lives inside a workspace. You cannot have a project outside of one.

A workspace is shared by people. Invite collaborators into your workspace to work together. Plans are priced by credits, not seats, so adding members does not increase your subscription cost.

One workspace holds many projects. Each member can create and work on projects inside the shared workspace. Projects stay separate, but they all live under the same workspace.

Workspace members see all projects. When you add someone as a workspace member, they can access every project in that workspace, including ones created after they join. Use the Collaborator role if you need to limit someone to specific projects only.

Billing is workspace-level. Each workspace has its own plan, credit balance, and payment method on a single invoice. A paid subscription applies to one workspace only.

Credits are shared. All projects in a workspace draw from the same credit pool. This applies regardless of which member sends messages.

You can belong to multiple workspaces. A single Sticklight account can be a member of several workspaces. Switch between them at any time.

What a Workspace Contains

Every workspace includes:

  • Projects: All the websites and apps you build
  • Members: People with access to the entire workspace and all its projects
  • Collaborators: External users with access to specific projects only
  • Billing: One plan, one credit balance, one payment method

Workspace members see every project, current and future. Collaborators see only the projects you invite them to. Both consume credits from your workspace balance when they build.

How People Use Workspaces

Workspaces adapt to how you work.

Solo creator or freelancer. Your workspace is your business. Keep all client projects in one place, manage billing centrally, and invite collaborators to specific projects when you need outside help. Other freelancers or contractors see only the projects you share with them.

Agency or studio. One workspace for your team. Everyone joins as members with appropriate roles. Invite clients as collaborators on their specific projects, so they can review progress without seeing other client work.

Team or organization. Your company gets one workspace. Team members join with roles that match their responsibilities. Everyone builds from the same credit pool, and owners manage access and billing centrally.

Building your own product. Your workspace is your product’s home. Invite co-founders as members and contractors as collaborators. Keep everything in one place as you grow.

Your Default Workspace

Every Sticklight account comes with one workspace automatically. This workspace:

  • Starts on the Free plan
  • Can be upgraded at any time
  • Contains all projects you create

You can create additional workspaces when you need separate environments with their own billing and member lists. Each additional workspace requires its own Pro subscription. See Creating a Workspace for details.

Workspace Roles

Not everyone in a workspace has the same access. Roles define what each person can do:

  • Owner: Full control, including billing and member management
  • Admin: Can manage projects and members, but not billing
  • Editor: Can build and publish, but not manage members
  • Viewer: Can view projects, but not build

See Roles and Permissions for the complete breakdown.

Credits and Billing

Each workspace has its own credit balance. When anyone in the workspace builds with AI, they draw from this shared pool.

  • Owners manage the billing and can purchase additional credits
  • Admins, Editors, and Collaborators with build access consume credits when they work
  • Viewers do not consume credits

If credits run out, building pauses for everyone until the Owner tops up or the billing cycle renews. Published sites stay live, regardless of credit balance.

See Credits for details on how credits work.

FAQs

How many workspaces can I have?

Every account gets one free workspace. Additional workspaces require a paid plan, and each has its own billing.

Can someone be in multiple workspaces?

Yes. You can be a member of several workspaces, each with its own role and access level.

Can I move a project to a different workspace?

Yes. Use project transfer to move a project from one workspace to another. The receiving workspace must have a Pro subscription, and the recipient becomes the new owner. See Transferring a Project for the full process.
