How do I pay?

First Draft Pro uses Stripe to process monthly online payments. You can manage your billing details through your account settings. We accept all major credit cards.

Do I need to pay to add collaborators?
A chevron pointing down

You can invite as many collaborators to your projects as you like, and they can collaborate for free, but they will need an active subscription in order to invite people to their own projects.

Can I buy licenses for a group?
