If it's "for teams", then users seems like a better option. You wouldn't want to punish usage. Remember, you are creating value and you want to make sure that the user gets as much value as possible... and that's by sharing more often, typically. And, as the user base within a company grows (hopefully), the price should go up. This stuff is always hard to figure out and I don't think most companies are always 100% happy with how they are charging, but if you are a team-based app where you can easily measure by employees using it, then user is probably the clear winner, even with the little information you've given.

Some more information: we are called http://www.teamgum.com.

our competition: mostly they have all user based pricing

my view: i think value of the product will be more visible if no. of users in the network are increased & no. of links shared are also increased.

my concern: if we price per user & end up restricting free flow of users then do you think we may end up turning off many of the acquired teams?
