App Restriction
What are the limitations of creating an app with AppSheet?
Limitations of AppSheet
AppSheet, a no-code platform integrated with Google Workspace, allows users to create and deploy custom apps without writing any code. This article explores the restrictions and guidelines for creating multiple apps within the AppSheet environment, which is essential for users planning to scale their operations or manage several projects simultaneously.
AppSheet does not impose strict limits on the number of apps you can create. Instead, the platform focuses on enabling users to develop as many apps as needed, tailored to their specific business requirements. Each app can be customized extensively, using AppSheet’s no-code development platform to incorporate features like forms, barcodes, and more, based on the user's needs.
However, a user's subscription plan might limit the number of apps they can manage and deploy. Different plans offer varying support, features, and user access.
Subscription Plan Limits
AppSheet provides different subscription plans, each with its specific limits on the number of apps, users, and database capacities. During prototyping, you can have up to 10 active users at no cost. Deploying apps to a larger user base requires choosing a secure or public plan. The secure plan requires a license for each active user, while the public plan involves a fixed monthly fee per app.
Free Plan
Up to 1000 rows per AppSheet database and 5 databases.
Starter Plan
Up to 2500 rows per AppSheet database and 5 databases.
Core/Publisher Pro
Up to 2500 rows per AppSheet database and 10 databases.
Enterprise Plans
Up to 200,000 rows per AppSheet database with unlimited databases allowed, capped at 200 databases per user.
Technical Constraints and Solutions
Users should consider various technical constraints when managing multiple apps:
Database Limits
Includes 20 tables per database and 100 columns per table. Additionally, cells can have up to 2000 characters, and LongText columns can hold 5000 characters.
Data Size Limits
The compressed data size for an AppSheet app should not exceed 5MB or 10MB, depending on the device. This shows the need for efficient data use. It ensures good performance and avoids slow app behavior.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
Users may encounter issues such as long sync times or sluggish app performance, especially when connected to large data sets. It's advisable to keep the data set as small and efficient as possible and to regularly check and optimize the app’s performance against the data
Creating multiple apps in AppSheet has many restrictions. They are influenced by the chosen subscription plan and the apps' technical setup. By understanding these rules, and by optimizing app and data management, users can scale their solutions within the AppSheet platform.
