App Install - In Site vs In Bench

What is the difference between installing an App at Bench level vs Installing an App at site level within Frappe Cloud?

You can’t install an app on a site unless that app is first available on the hosting Bench.

When an app is installed at the Bench level, all sites within that Bench have access to it, but you still need to install and deploy it separately on each site.

If you’re referring to the $10 or $5 Frappe Cloud plans where you can install apps directly on a site, it’s because those sites are part of a shared Bench where the app is already installed. (Version upgrades are forced here)
