Currently we are re-working on Zoho Creator's pricing to make it more affordable to all kinds of users.
For more information on this topic, kindly visit our forums and blogs.

Zoho Creator pricing is based on numbers of users and not based on the number of applications.
You can create UNLIMITED number of applications and there is no restriction on the number of records/entries you are adding to your application.

There is no change in the way you create and access the application. But from 30th April 2008 onwards there will be restriction in the number of users in an account. You can have 2 users (1 Admin + 1 user) for free. So it means that you will be able to share your application with only 1 user.

....but I have already shared my application to more than 1 user, what will happen to them?
In this new business version, all your users (no matter how many of them) will be able to access the shared application for period of 3 months (from May 2, 2008 ---to--- Aug 2, 2008). We will be keeping your sharing details intact in our server till (Aug 2, 2008) for you to upgrade to the Professional Plan. When you upgrade your account within the above mentioned date, all your users will be able to access the application without any hassles.

If you fail to upgrade within that period, only 1 shared user will be able to access your application.

Here's what you get when you upgrade to the Professional Plan...

• Add as many users as you need
• Upload your own logo
• SSL support
• Back-up your application
• Restore the backed-up application
• Embed Form/View to your website without Zoho Promo
• Get quick support to your queries from the development team
