Ways to spend less on Outline
Viewers and guests each take a seat, so publish read-only docs by link
Outline's billing page says every person who can sign in counts towards your team size, admins, editors, viewers and guests alike. There's no cheaper reader seat. If lots of people only need to read, share those docs or collections with a public link and they won't push you up a tier.
