Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Feature-Based Pricing Escalation

medium addon

Costs increase significantly when enabling advanced features beyond basic functionality. Users report that pricing 'shoots up huge' when activating features needed for scalability.

reddit

Appsheet charges per user depending on which features you use, which is going to make it quite expensive to scale. $5/user at least, but that cost would shoot up huge if i use features that would make my app scalable, pricing me out of being able to use them anyways.

2

Per-User Pricing Scales Expensively

high overage

AppSheet charges per unique user per billing period across all apps in an account. Users who don't log in during a 30-day period aren't counted, but any user who does log in counts against the license. If unique logins exceed the license count, all apps in the account get locked after a 3-day warning.

reddit

If the number of unique email addresses logged into any/all apps in your account exceeds your license count, they send you a 3 day warning to add licenses to your subscription-- otherwise all apps in your account will be locked.

3

SQL Database Requires Enterprise License

high addon

Connecting AppSheet to SQL databases (Google Cloud SQL, AWS, MariaDB, etc.) requires an Enterprise-level license, not available on Starter or Core plans. This is a significant cost escalation for teams needing relational database backends.

reddit

But in order to use a sequel server you have to have an Enterprise license, which brings with it an increase in your parallel compute as compared to the core license.

reddit

Access databases in GCP - yes, but I believe this is limited to their enterprise plan

4

Security Filters and Bots Only on Core and Above

medium addon

Security filters (filtering data by user/device) and automated bots/scheduled workflows are not available on the Starter plan. Teams needing row-level security must upgrade to Core ($10/user/month) or higher, effectively doubling the per-user cost.

reddit

So the main one is that with an undelployed add it can only email the app owner. Also you cannot use any features available in Core licences... Such as barcodes, NFC scanning, scheduled bots, security filters etc

reddit

Security Filters and Bots mainly, but those are quite important features.

5

Public App Publishing Costs $50/Month Per App

medium addon

If you want to publish an AppSheet app publicly (without user login), you need the Publisher Pro plan at $50/month per app for unlimited users. This is separate from per-user plans and applies per application, not per account.

reddit

AppSheet has 2 models: 1. Public app with no user login: Publisher Pro $50/month for unlimited use. 2. Private app with user login: then you will be billed for every unique user that logs in during a billing period, charged at the rate of whatever plan your account is subscribed to.

reddit

There's also a public 'Publisher Pro' plan that is $50/mo PER APP with unlimited users, but no login/security/filters.

6

No Self-Service User Signup or Payment Integration

medium integration

AppSheet does not natively support automatic user provisioning, subscription payments, or self-service signups. Implementing these requires complex custom API integrations (e.g., AWS Cognito + Lambda). Without Enterprise, users must be manually added by an admin.

reddit

You must manually add users. There is no function where they can pay me and sign up to the app automatically, unless I go with AppSheet enterprise but anything above $5/user and I'm not going to be able to make money anyhow so it's a moot point.

reddit

the platform does not offer any of the features you would need to manage users, subscriptions, payments, or ads. It could be done with custom API integrations, but their pricing model isn't great for trying to profit off subscriptions, either.

7

App Store Publishing Adds External Fees

low addon

Publishing an AppSheet app to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store incurs third-party fees: ~$25 one-time for Android developer registration and ~$100/year for Apple developer subscription, on top of AppSheet subscription costs.

reddit

Publishing the app will cost you something like 25$ once to register on the Android developers platform, and 100$ / year as a subscription to the appstore.

8

Google Workspace Authentication Lock-In

medium integration

AppSheet requires Google or Microsoft authentication for user logins. This limits adoption for consumer-facing apps or businesses where users are unlikely to have these accounts, and eliminates the option for custom email/password authentication without Enterprise workarounds.

reddit

You must use a google/microsoft/etc login to use appsheet apps. I expect many of my potential customers are not going to like having to use these accounts.
