Hi Akshay,
This applies to the new license model that OutSystems uses for new licenses purchased after January 2020.
Suppose you make a B2C application with thousands or hundreds of thousands of users that are not employees of the company that provides the application. This would become a very expensive license which would be to extended as the user base of the app grows.
The pricing on the license is differentiated for total named internal users and external users.
See: https://www.outsystems.com/pricing-and-editions/ FAQ: How does OutSystems define an end user?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OutSystems identifies two different types of end users:
1) Internal users - individuals employed by your organization that are registered end users of the applications you build
2) External users - individuals not employed by your organization that are registered end users of the applications you build.
Users are sold in packs of 100 for internal users, and 10,000 for external users. OutSystems pricing is ideal for consumer applications with very high numbers of external users, with a cost per external user that is 1/100th the cost an internal user.
All platform editions include 100 internal users in the base price.
We do not charge for anonymous users or developers.
