# How can I increase my project limit?

The number of active projects available to you and your team depends on your plan. However, you can increase the number of active projects by **switching to a higher plan** or purchasing additional projects.

* * *

# What is an active project?

Active projects are projects that are currently available for team members and reviewers to work with. If you don’t want a project to be active, you can archive it by **clicking on the three dots** and selecting **archive project**.

💡️**_Pro tip:_** _Archived projects do not count against your active project limit. We recommend you archive your finalized projects to avoid reaching the active project limit._

* * *

# What happens when I have reached my project limit?

If you reach your project limit, you won’t be able to create new projects until you **delete or archive a project, purchase additional projects, or upgrade your plan.**
