The shared login reality

Five staff, two licenses. You do the math.

Everyone logs in as "Warehouse". Security theater.

Per-user pricing creates per-user workarounds.

The vendor's pricing page says $150 per user.

Your reality:

Five casual staff who work different shifts.

Peak season adds three more.

Training new hires monthly.

So you share logins.

Everyone knows the password.

The account is called "Warehouse1".

Nobody knows who did what.

What you lose:

Accountability. Who made this mistake?

Security. Who still has access?

Audit trails. Useless when everyone is the same user.

The vendor will tell you this violates terms of service.

The vendor also made it inevitable with their pricing.

Per-user pricing should be linear and predictable, not punitive.

And once an operation runs entirely on your stack, the per-seat fee should disappear.

How OpsUI handles this:

Five users included on every module and starter pack.

Linear NZ$99/user/month above that — no cliff bands, no surprise re-tiering.

Enterprise (all 21 modules) is custom-quoted with unlimited users — the right tier for operations large enough that per-seat fees stop making sense.

Your team deserves individual accounts.

Your auditors deserve real trails.

Your security deserves actual tracking.
