Existing sub-accounts can add the apps manually. **Q: How many apps can I include in a single plan?** **Up to 10** apps per plan (current limit). **Q: How do I pass app costs to clients?** Increase the SaaS plan price to include the app price plus your markup. App charges bill to your agency card by default. **Q: What happens if I change the tier of a bundled app?** New sub-accounts get the updated tier going forward. Existing sub-accounts retain their current install until you/they change or uninstall it. **Q: If I remove a bundled app from a plan, does it uninstall from current clients?** No. Removal stops future installs only.
