Free and Solo experience

Postman’s Free and Solo plans are designed as a single-player experience for individual developers. The Free plan provides a solid API workflow with core development, testing, mocks, Git integration, and built-in AI. Shared workspaces and collaboration features aren’t included in the Free and Solo plans.

Learn more about the Free and Solo experience, including what happens to existing Free teams, how to restore collaboration, and how to work with collections from read-only shared workspaces.

What happens to the existing Free teams

When a Free plan team has multiple members, the team is put into a read-only state because the Free plan only allows one member per team.

When a team becomes read-only, Postman automatically selects one Admin to keep Editor access. The selection process follows these criteria:

• The user with the highest-privilege role is selected.
• If multiple users have the same highest privilege, the most recently active user is selected.

If the wrong team member is set as Admin, contact the Postman Team at help@postman.com to update it.

Team members can expect the following changes when their team is put into a read-only state:

• Selected Admin — Keeps full access to all shared workspaces and can perform all actions.
• Read-only members — Can access shared workspaces but have limited actions within them.
• All members — Can continue to work in their personal workspaces.
• Banner notification — An in-app banner notifies users of the change and includes a link to the Team Settings screen showing user roles.
