Monetization of Microsoft 365 app without SaaS offer

[ChrisLor]

Hi,

is there a way to monetize a Teams add-in app through Marketplace, without any SaaS offer?

The Teams app we are developing will have a free download as all the Microsoft 365 app have to. The free version will be available for a limited number of users. Besides we would like to offer a fee-based version of the same app for larger environments through the marketplace.

Is this possible? If yes, how?

Thanks in advance

Hi. This is only possible today through billing via a SaaS offer. There is some documentation that walks through how to do this for M365 apps.
