Announcing AppSheet Core included in more Workspace plans!

[peterdykstra]

Greetings AppSheet Community,

We are excited to announce that AppSheet Core is being updated and included in more Workspace plans, making it easier for users to securely build and share apps within their Workspace org. We hope this removes friction for app creators determining how to share their apps with more users, and for Workspace admins ensuring that internal data is as secure as possible.

AppSheet Core edition licenses will now automatically be included for users with the following Workspace licenses:

• Enterprise Starter/Standard/Plus
• Business Starter/Standard/Plus
• Frontline Starter/Standard
• Enterprise Essentials Plus
• Non-Profits
• Education Standard/Plus

Workspace admins will also gain a security setting to control whether data can be shared externally.
The setting can be used by the admin to control features including the following, for all AppSheet Core users across their org (does not apply to AppSheet Enterprise license users):

• Sharing with external app users
• Connecting to external app data
• Automation emails to external recipients
• Using external AppSheet apps
• (please refer to this article for specific features controlled by this setting)

The security setting applies to all AppSheet Core users in the organization (for more granular governance, Enterprise licenses are required).

This update will be rolling out to existing and new customers over the next couple months. Existing AppSheet Core customers will be contacted shortly with instructions on how to cancel and receive refunds or Workspace credits, depending on whether their subscription is via appsheet.com or the Workspace admin console.

For more information as a customer subscribed to Core via appsheet.com, see How to choose a subscription plan to learn more.
For more information as a Workspace admin, see Manage AppSheet in your organization to learn more.

Thank you!
AppSheet team

Hi @Fabian_Weller I can only speak for myself and the prices in my country, and it depends of course on which plan you have with Google Workspace.

My company uses Business standard and the price is about the same per user as free floating Appsheet Core. (Plus, of course all get company email, 2 TB per user (joint space), admin managment, and other paid account privileges.) We cut our internal communication and CRM app expenses in half with this move.

I have a question for you: I’m in the process of setting up my own business, and I find this topic very intriguing.

1. My application is a CRM that utilises a Kanban-style progression, meaning it currently identifies registered users via their email (UserEmail()).

2. The application currently has permissions for Google Drive, but based on this, it might be better to write to Workplace instead.

The potential outcomes of this transition:

1. The application currently requires Core. It has bots and uses Google Drive for storage and retrieval of both table data and URLs, images, etc. At present, it’s in a state between being deployed and being a prototype, as I’m conducting black box testing before launching it. Will the transition reduce the operational costs of my application, which will only be used by clients? I’ve written a non-active bot to remove inactive users (after three months), as the core is active with a standard workplace.

2. Will it enhance security?

3. Will it only cost me £12.00 per month instead of the estimated £10.00 per 10 licences (£100.00 - too high for my start-up costs)? True or False?

4. Will there be sub-folder control/security to access specific folders in Workplace?

> No, you will still need one license per user. you can for example switch to workspace business starter and pay 6$/user/month
