- CRM Base: The base price is common for all the plans and is fixed at $30 per user per month. This value cannot be changed. This share goes to Zoho.
- Developer Markup: This is the price that can be fixed by the developer. The markup price is the share that goes to the developer for the apps that the developer creates and sells.
