Which License Do I Need?

Check the faqs below to see which of our models applies to you. If you’re still not sure, please email support.

The Apps for Sale model is for when you sell an app, either directly or in an app store. You pay a small (5% or less) fee on the payments you receive from selling the app.

The Internal Users model applies when you develop apps for use within your organization. All developers and each user needs a license. This reflects that even though you are not selling your app, each user in your organization gets value from using the software. Volume discounts quickly reduce the cost as your user numbers increase.

You can see pricing for the Internal Apps model here. You can see examples of Application Payments here. Both licenses are subject to fair use of data and hosting.
