So I started building an app for my accountant a few weeks back but now realized that this app would probably not be able to be built due to the new plans limits.
Here’s the overall description of the app:
- One admin accountant. (Maybe 3-4 additional junior accountants)
- 200 to 500 customers.
- Customers log in and submit their documents for their tax fillings and answer a couple of questions about their current situations.
- Messaging system with push notifications for the accountants to message customers
- Each customer sees their tax fillings for every previous year.
- Every row would be secured via row owners so that each document would be secured between the customer and the accountants.
Pretty simple and straightforward app. Would have been 99$/month on the legacy pro plan with the majority of users being public.
Now it wouldn’t be possible on the maker plan because customers are using both personal and work emails to log in. Also team plan charges an absurd amount of 5$/user/month that would be between 1000$ to 2500$ a month…
I thought about going with the team plan and having the accountants create each customers themselves in the app in a “customers table” but it defeats the purpose of having the app to simplify communication between customer and accountants.
I also thought about building the app inside my legacy business plan to have the older limits but I don’t want to have a temporarily working app and having to tell my accountant his app is going to be 15x more expensive in the near future…
Any workarounds for this situation?
