Hello, 

I've set up a small system under my Premium license for Internal use. Since there are only 4 of us, this works fine with me using the 'user' license and then my colleagues as contributors.

I think that there are several customers for whom we could develop applications but our customers are mostly small or micro business. They would typically have 5-10 people accessing the application.

I'm trying to get my head around the pricing model for this sort of situation. Using a 5 user site as an example; If I develop an application and then publish this as a private app, I can either ask my customer to buy 5 users licenses (5x£192=£960 per year) or I can buy add-on licenses but the minimum is 500, so £1440 per year.

Both of these numbers seem a little high when this excludes any development costs. If I wrote the thing in Access as an on-prem solution (which is what'd we'd have done previously) then the development cost would be much the same but with no licensing cost.

Have I got this wrong or is Zoho just not the answer for the really small stuff?
