What your plan includes
The platform has three plan levels — Free, Solo and Org — and every gate in the product is expressed against them. The difference between Solo and Org is not one of scale: Org enables a different category of work.
Which of those you can actually buy, and what they cost, depends on the site you joined through. This guide is published for more than one, and they do not all sell the same plans — so prices and availability are not quoted here. The upgrade screen in the app shows yours, and it is the only place that can be right about it.

https://actionnetwork.world/a/upgradeFree: participation without hosting
Section titled “Free: participation without hosting”The defining characteristic of the Free plan is not a quota but a boundary: you can be invited into work started by others and participate fully, but you cannot start your own.
On Free the following are available:
| Open on Free | Needs a plan |
|---|---|
| Home, with a teaser of what is being posted | Opportunities — everything except Funders, Solo plan |
| Atlas | Spaces, Solo plan |
| Network → Members, My Matches and Connections | Projects and Funding, Org plan |
| Workspaces you were invited to — in full | Creating a workspace of your own |
| Settings, including your profile | |
| Opportunities → Funders — browse and follow |
Workspaces are deliberately never locked. Being invited and contributing is the intended use of the Free plan: you can open a workspace, submit work to a deliverable, comment and approve. Only workspace creation is gated.
Locked modules remain visible. They stay in the navigation with a padlock and open an upgrade prompt when selected, so the full feature set is always visible.
This explains the common case where an invited member finds everything works until they attempt to create something new.
Solo: individual work
Section titled “Solo: individual work”Solo is intended for an individual running their own work. It provides Unlimited in practice workspaces, 5 GB of file storage, and 500,000 AI tokens per month.
It also enables the funding features: Solo plan and above can post opportunities, and Solo plan provides matching against them.
Solo does not include the delivery features. Projects, proposals and briefs all require Org plan.
Org: delivery as well as discovery
Section titled “Org: delivery as well as discovery”Org adds three capabilities not present on Solo:
| Needs | |
|---|---|
| Projects — plan, budget and report on delivery | Org plan |
| The proposal engine — draft and refine applications | Org plan |
| Funder intelligence — research who funds what | Org plan |
Storage rises to 50 GB and AI usage to 5,000,000 tokens a month.
Why some features are paid
Section titled “Why some features are paid”For years, this work was paid for with grants and project funding. That kept it going, but it is no way to run a platform people rely on every day: funding runs out, priorities shift, and every funder brings an agenda of its own. So the platform pays for itself. The paid plans cover what it costs to run and develop the tools, and that keeps it independent: what gets built follows what members need, not what a funder happens to fund.
Non-profit pricing: request verification before subscribing
Section titled “Non-profit pricing: request verification before subscribing”Org is priced on a sliding scale determined by the income band of the organisation’s country. The difference is substantial: the lowest band is a fraction of the standard rate.
The band is assigned when the organisation’s verification is approved, derived from its country’s income group. The recommended order is:
-
Create the organisation with its country set.
-
Request verification, and wait for it to be approved.
-
Subscribe. The reduced rate is applied automatically at checkout.
Subscribing before approval is not irreversible. Checkout has no band to apply at that point, but when approval is granted the reduced rate is applied to the existing subscription rather than only to a subsequent one. The same applies where an administrator assigns the tier manually.
The exposure is limited to invoices raised before approval, which remain at the standard rate and are neither refunded nor back-dated. If approval is granted during the trial period, no charge has been raised and the subscription converts at the reduced rate.
The recommended order therefore avoids one or two standard-rate invoices; it is not a condition of receiving the discount.
A band is auto-assigned only where one is not already set, so an organisation whose tier was assigned manually retains it.
