What if we have more than 5 users? Do we pay for the additional 5 Users? 

[Kate Clavet]

Hi Ed, the free plan is for up to five users, so if you have more than five users and you were looking to implement Opsgenie, you would need to use a different plan.

But for the free 14-day trial, more than five users could trial Opsgenie. Hope that helps!
