How Hyperdream Teams Work: Roles, Seats, Shared Credits

A Hyperdream team is a shared workspace with four roles (Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer), paid seats at three levels, one pooled credit balance, client folders with monthly budgets, hand-overs and an audit log. The self-serve Team plan runs from 2 to 9 seats, from $59 a seat a month (checked 10 November 2026).

Key takeaways

• Four roles: Owner, Admin, Editor and Viewer. Viewers watch and comment, are free and take no seat.
• Three seat levels: Creator at $59, Pro at $119 and Business at $249 a seat a month, with 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 credits each, all going into one pool.
• Invites: by email, with a role, a seat level and access. The link works for 14 days, only for that email, and a team can send 25 a day.
• Spend controls: a monthly budget for each client and for General that stops work or warns, plus a monthly limit for each member.
• Not there today: SSO and two-step sign-in. Enterprise, for 10 seats or more, is arranged by talking to us.

What is a workspace in Hyperdream?

You have one login. Under it sits your personal workspace and every team you belong to. Each workspace has its own work, people, plan and credits, and you switch between them from the profile-photo menu.

To start a team, go to Settings > Workspace and team and choose "Start a team". You name it, pick the seats and pay. Your personal work stays in your personal workspace.

What can each role do?

An admin changes a person's role from the People table in Settings > Workspace and team. The table shows each person's role, seat, where they work, their monthly limit, what they have used this month and what they own.

How do seats work, and what do they cost?

Everyone who makes things holds a seat: the owner, admins and editors. An open invite for one of those roles holds a seat too, so you can't invite more makers than you have paid for.

Each seat is at one of three levels. The level decides which models that person can use, how long their clips can be, and whether they get Director, the film agent.

Prices are in US dollars, read from Hyperdream's pricing data on 10 November 2026. Taxes may apply.

You can mix levels. A three-person team with one Pro seat and two Creator seats pays $237 a month and shares 4,000 credits.

A member can ask the owner for a higher seat from inside the app. Only the owner changes seats, because seats are billing.

Pro and Business seats each come with their own Director allowance. That allowance pays for planning with Director, the script writer and the storyboard planner. Renders, frames, reference sheets, voices and music cost credits from the pool.

How do shared credits work?

Every seat's credits go into one pool that the whole team spends from. A five-seat Creator team has 5,000 credits a month, and it doesn't matter who spends them.

The pool follows the same rules as any Hyperdream plan. Plan credits last two months: what you don't use carries into the next month, then ends. A render that fails or is blocked refunds its credits automatically. The price of every render shows before you start it.

How do invites work?

An admin invites a person by email and sets three things up front: their role, their seat level and their access (General, and which clients). Then:

• The invite link works for 14 days.
• It only works for the email address it was sent to.
• A team can send 25 invites a day.
• An admin can cancel an invite before it's used.

New accounts on Hyperdream sign up with Google. An invited team member who doesn't use Google can set an email and password instead.

Who can see which client's work?

A team's work is filed under clients, which are client folders inside the workspace, or under General, which is work that isn't for a client. You pick one in the top bar (Everything, General, or a client), and new work, films and spending are filed under it.

Access is set per person: General yes or no, and which clients, or all of them. People only see, make and spend where they have access. Owners and admins see everything. A new person starts in General only, so nobody lands in a client's folder by accident.

A client can be archived when the work ends. Its files stay in the Library.

More on this in client folders and per-client budgets.

How do budgets and member limits work?

There are two controls, and both count calendar months in UTC.

• Budgets. Each client, and General, can have a monthly credit budget. You choose what happens when it's reached: "Stop spending here" or "Warn, but keep going". A warning tells the team once a month.
• Member limits. Each member can have a monthly credit limit. Work that would pass it is refused, and the message says when the limit resets.

Both count work in progress. Two renders started at the same moment can't both slip under a limit.

Usage is in Settings > Usage, by person and by client, with a CSV report you can download for billing.

What happens when someone leaves?

Work belongs to the team, never to a person. When someone leaves, or at any other time, an admin can hand their files and projects to another person and leave notes for whoever picks it up: what's done, what's next, where things are.

Settings > Workspace and team has a "Who owns what" list and a "Hand-overs" list that records what moved from whom to whom, with the notes.

What does the audit log record?

Every change to the team, the plan, people, limits and ownership. It's at the bottom of Settings > Workspace and team.

Can a team be deleted and brought back?

Only the owner can delete a team. Everyone loses access at once. For 30 days the owner can bring it back as it was. After that its work is removed for good.

How do clients approve work?

With a review link. "Share for review" on a film or on any file makes a link that works without an account. The client pins comments, then approves each item or asks for changes. The steps are in client review links.

What isn't there today?

• SSO. Not built.
• Two-step sign-in. Not available today.
• More than 9 seats on self-serve. Ten seats or more is Enterprise. There's no public price: write to hello@hyperdream.co.
• Professional review tooling. Review links carry pinned comments and an approve or request-changes decision. They are not a frame-accurate review tool with version stacks.

If your security team requires SSO today, Runway and Higgsfield both list it on their larger plans. See AI video team plans compared.

Where this fits

If you run an agency, start with the checklist for agency AI video platforms, then check the seat prices on the pricing page.

How we checked

Everything here was checked on 10 November 2026 against the live product, its settings screens and Hyperdream's public pricing data. Seat prices, credits and seat counts come from the pricing data; staff can change them, so read /pricing before you budget. We left out two things we couldn't confirm: how yearly billing is offered for team seats at checkout, and whether a solo paid plan can use client folders. There are no screenshots in this version of the post.
