12/19/2025, 12:30 PMdo we need to upgrade each project? I have taken ship plan but every new project i create is on build plan and it ask me to upgrade. So, does it mean we need to pay for each project separately?

12/19/2025, 12:31 PMThanks — I hear your confusion about new projects defaulting to Build while you already upgraded one to Ship.
Yes — each LiveKit Cloud project is billed and planned separately. Upgrading a project to the Ship plan applies only to that specific project. New projects are created on the free Build plan by default, so you’ll see an “upgrade” prompt for each new project if you want Ship features there.
If some projects can stay within Build limits, you can keep them free; otherwise you’ll need to upgrade those projects individually. If you want, tell me how many projects and what features you need and I can help recommend the most cost-effective setup.

12/19/2025, 12:33 PMGood question — short answer: deleting an upgraded project does not transfer that Ship plan to a new project automatically.
Each project is billed and managed independently. If you delete a project that was on the Ship plan, that project’s billing stops but the Ship plan upgrade does not move to another project automatically. To have Ship features on a new project you must upgrade that new project separately.
If you’d like, tell me:
• whether you want to delete the current Ship project now, and
• if you want recommendations for consolidating work into fewer projects to avoid multiple paid upgrades.
