As I understand it, you would have to pay 10$ per user per month or 120$ per user per year. How is that possible if you plan to distribute a white label? No-one would even think of paying 120$ per year for an unknown app.
Lets say you make a popular App - that would soon be 1000 downloads and users. So you would have to pay 120.000$ to AppSheet unless you find a way to have your users pay (not likely) or you make the app drown in advertisements.
I really hope AppSheet will make another pricing strategy that helps new app succeed.
For what you described, you need the publisher plan , that is
50$ per app per month.
The per user plans are used in custom business solutions, where controlled access is needed, among other options.
@OptimiX_XcrY - thatโs provided you donโt need any login and separate user data.
If you make an app where users can enter their own data, you need this plan: AppSheet Pricing - Pro plan, which is 10$ per user per month.
Unfortunately @HCF, the AppSheet platform is not intended to be a place where you can build a โplatformโ for the small-biz. (Meaning: Iโve got a single app and I want 1,000 users)
If youโre looking to have a secure app, meaning it will require people to log in and therefore be able to customize itself to the user, youโll have to get a business subscription.
And like youโre seeing, the cost of this would be crazy with scale. The business subscription is geared towards situations like this, where you can say:
The cost of this would be much less than the $10,000 a month, though itโs still pretty high. I canโt give you an actual number because itโs individualized on a case-by-case basis - but Iโve seen things like $1,500/month to $5,000/month.
Iโve got a client that I helped build a solution last year thatโs keen to expand and get other people using the app weโve built - but heโs finding that in order to โtake things to the next levelโ youโve got to have some capital.
AppSheet started as a platform for small businesses and citizen developers; then, as money grew tight and they needed to keep the lights on, they shifted towards focusing on businesses.
Because a business will spend $1,500 a month on some software solution, which will go a long way in paying a $100k/year software developers salary; where a small biz is very UN-likely to be able to afford something like that.
