## How can I increase my project limit?

The number of active projects available to you and your team depends on your plan. But you can increase the number of active projects by **switching to one of our newest subscription plans**, as they include unlimited projects. Additional projects cannot be purchased separately.

## 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** in the top right corner of the project and selecting **Archive project**.

> **Success:** **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’ve 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, or upgrade your plan.**

## How many active projects do I have available?
