Understand Totango user licenses

Each user of Totango must have a license assigned within user management. We refer to this assignment as a named user license.

Totango offers three user license options for purchase:

  1. Practitioner (formerly Spark): Full Totango platform functionality, designed for admins and daily active users
  2. Contributor (formerly Zoe): Limited Totango platform functionality, designed for team members who manage accounts, tasks, and touchpoints.
  3. Viewer: Read only Totango platform functionality, designed for leadership and team members who require visibility into customer data, workflows, and performance.

Feature comparison

Use the following table to compare features available with each license. 

Some capabilities can be removed from user access via roles and permissions, but capabilities cannot be added outside the scope of the license, as listed below.
