How Seat-Based Billing Works

ScribbleVet's Unleashed plan uses seat-based billing for veterinarians—each vet on your team needs an assigned seat to access ScribbleVet. Staff members (receptionists, technicians, and managers) are always free and do not require a seat.

Written by Melissa Duarte

Before you begin

  • Only practice account administrators can manage seats, view billing, and assign seat types. Other team members won't see these options.

  • Seat assignment, adding or removing seats, and invoice access are all Unleashed features. If you don't see the Essential plan option when subscribing, contact support@scribblevet.com.

ScribbleVet has three user types under the Unleashed plan:

How billing works

When you add a seat, the charge is prorated immediately for the remaining days in your current billing period. When you remove a seat, the change takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle—there is no prorated refund, and the veterinarian keeps full access until renewal.

Newly invited veterinarians automatically start as Guests with a free 14-day trial. After the trial ends, they need an assigned seat to continue using ScribbleVet.

Note: Seat management is only available in the web app at web.scribblevet.com; it is not yet available on mobile.


Frequently asked questions

Do staff members need seats?

No. Receptionists, technicians, and managers are always free and unlimited—no seat is required.

What happens when a Guest trial ends?

The veterinarian loses access until an admin assigns them a seat. A banner will appear in the app prompting them to manage seats.

Can I have both Full-time and Part-time seats?

Yes. You set the number of Full-time and Part-time veterinarian seats when you subscribe, and can adjust them anytime from Settings → Practice → Seats.
