Pricing for a user in Portal

hi! cannot find an information whats the price for a single user in case of Portals?

Someone at Retool can correct me if I’m wrong but from what I understood, each of your portal users has to sign up as retool end-users meaning you’d pay for them like you would pay for any other end-user. Since Retool Portals only works on Business plans or upwards, the pricing for portal users would start at $15/month/user.

[Edit by @kbn : see below reply clarifying that Embed users are still counted as end users] However, if I understand it right, users of embedded apps don’t count as retool end users since you have to manager authentication instead of retool. So if you’re willing to deal with a bit more complexity you might be able to save a few bucks.

Thanks for asking about this @Ana and sharing a reply @bonnyag! I'll go ahead and put this topic into our External Apps category which we can use for questions/answers about Portals and Embed :rocket:

So this part about Portals users is correct!

But for this part:

Embed users will also be counted as end users, which is mentioned in this doc: https://docs.retool.com/apps/external/quickstarts/embed#3-create-an-embed-url

Still, if this is a blocker, you can always speak with our team to discuss custom pricing that aligns better with your business. We’re happy to help!
