Ways to spend less on OpenProject
Lock people who've left, so you stop paying for them
OpenProject's FAQ says only active users are counted for payment, and locked users and pending invites don't count. So when someone no longer needs access, lock their account rather than leaving it open, and the seat is free for someone else.
