If you have chosen a $99 LIVE kit and are shipping one Expo app for one paying client, the Individual license covers that job when you are the only developer using the kit. It includes one developer seat and one paid client project. You do not need Team just because the app is commercial or belongs to a client.
Team is the fit when the work needs more than one developer seat or when you need unlimited client projects. It is listed as Custom for five seats, with an email button on the pricing page; there is no public Team dollar price to compare here. The choice is about who will use the kit and how many client projects the license must cover.
The short answer for one client app
The kit license separates work you own from paid client work. Under Terms §2, one single-developer license can be used in unlimited personal and commercial projects you own, plus one paid client project. Those are two distinct permissions. Your own product does not consume the one-client-project allowance, and that allowance does not turn into unlimited client work because the app is commercial.
For the case in the question, count the paid app for the client as one client project. If you are the one developer working with the kit, the $99 Individual license is the straightforward fit. The app can be deployed under your own brand, and the client-facing product built from the kit is yours to sell or operate. The restriction is on reuse and sharing of the kit source, not on selling the finished app.
The same one-client-project limit is shown for the Bundle. Bundle adds the delivered LIVE kits and landing templates, but it still lists one developer seat and one client project. More included source does not change the client-project allowance.
Individual and Bundle versus Team
| License | Developer seats | Client projects |
|---|---|---|
| Individual kit | 1 | 1 |
| Bundle | 1 | 1 |
| Team | 5 | Unlimited |
This is the practical comparison for licensing the work. Individual is one kit for one developer and one client project. Bundle is one developer seat and one client project across its included products. Team is five seats and unlimited client projects. Team is described as Custom, and the pricing page provides an email button to ask about it.
The seat count matters independently of the client count. A single client app developed by two people using the kit still needs a license that covers those developers. The Individual license lists one developer seat, and Terms say you cannot share the kit with developers outside your seat count. Team lists five developer seats. Do not pass the kit source around to collaborators who are not covered by the purchased seat count.
Likewise, having one seat does not automatically mean unlimited paid client work. Individual and Bundle both list one client project. If your client pipeline means you need to use the kit on additional paid client projects, Team is the option shown with unlimited client projects.
What the $99 kit includes for this decision
The pricing page lists three LIVE kits at $99 each: SaaS Dashboard, Fitness, and Arcade. Booking is Preview and is not included until it becomes LIVE. The Marketplace is coming soon and is not sold individually. These availability details matter when you select a SKU, but they do not change the one-seat, one-client-project license boundary.
The free SDK is a separate product: it is $0, MIT licensed, and available on GitHub. This article starts after you have decided to buy a paid kit and asks which license covers your client work. If your unresolved question is whether to stay with the SDK or buy a kit, use the separate free SDK versus paid kit guide.
The Bundle is listed at $149 and includes the delivered LIVE kits, with one developer seat and one client project. Choose it because you need what is in the Bundle, not because it expands the client-work permission. For this license question, the comparison remains one client project on Individual or Bundle, and unlimited client projects on Team.
Keep the kit source inside the license
Terms §2 allows you to modify the kit code and deploy the resulting app under your own brand. It also says you cannot resell, sublicense, or redistribute the kit source itself as a template, theme, or starter. You cannot open-source the kit source, and you cannot share it with developers outside your license seat count.
That distinction is useful when handing work to a client. The client app can be the product you deliver, operate, or sell. The kit source remains governed by its license. A handoff of the finished app does not grant permission to publish the starter source as a reusable template or to distribute the kit to an uncovered development team.
If a client needs the app maintained by their own developers, account for who will access and work with the kit source before choosing the license. One seat covers one developer. Team lists five seats and shared team access. The public pricing page does not list a Team dollar amount, so contact OTF through its pricing page for the Custom option rather than assuming a price.
A simple decision check before checkout
Start with the project count. If you are using the kit for one paid client app, Individual covers one client project. If you are choosing the Bundle, it also lists one client project. If the expected work requires unlimited client projects, the pricing page assigns that allowance to Team.
Then count the developers who will use the kit. If you alone will use it, one seat matches the Individual or Bundle listing. If more developers need access, the license seat count must cover them. Team lists five seats. Terms prohibit sharing outside the seat count, so a client or contractor who will work directly with the kit source should be considered when you determine who needs access.
Finally, distinguish client work from your own products. Terms permit unlimited personal and commercial projects you own. Keep that permission separate from the one paid client project under a single-developer license. If the work is for a paying client, count it as the client project; do not classify it as an owned project simply because you wrote the code or operate the deployment.
Choose the license that matches the work
For one developer shipping one Expo app for one paying client, the $99 Individual kit license covers the stated job. The Bundle does not increase that project allowance. Choose Team when your kit work needs five developer seats or unlimited client projects, and use the email button on the pricing page to ask about the Custom Team option.
Review the live license details before checkout, especially if the project scope or team changes. The pricing page shows the available products and seat/project comparison; the Terms contain the license conditions. For the earlier product choice—Free SDK or paid kit—read the separate guide.

FAQ
Does the $99 Individual license cover one paid client app?
Yes. Individual includes one developer seat and one paid client project. If you are the only developer using the kit for one paying client, it covers that job.
Does the Bundle allow more client projects?
No. The Bundle also lists one developer seat and one client project. Its included LIVE kits and landing templates do not change that allowance.
What does Team include, and how much does it cost?
Team is listed as Custom for five seats and unlimited client projects. The pricing page has an email button, but it does not publish a Team dollar price; use OTF pricing to ask about it.
Do my own products use the client project allowance?
Terms §2 allows unlimited personal and commercial projects you own, plus one paid client project under a single-developer license. Keep your own projects separate from work for a paying client.
Where can I choose a kit or ask about Team?
