Adding a temporary collaborator on annual plan without paying for a full additional annual seat?

Hi everyone,

I’m a small business owner currently on an annual Airtable plan with about 11 months remaining.

I need to add a contractor as a real collaborator/editor for a short period. Read-only access will not work for this workflow. I’m completely fine paying for the time she actually needs access, such as one month, but I do not want to accidentally commit to paying for an additional collaborator for the rest of the annual term.

Is there any way to add a temporary collaborator on an annual plan and only pay for the month they are active?

Or is there a recommended setup for short-term contractors who need editor-level access without triggering a full annual seat charge?

I’d really appreciate any guidance before I add the user and create another unexpected billing issue.

Thank you.
