Is it possible to create multiple Chrome Hosted Apps for the same domain?

Question

Our product has both a free component, and a full featured, subscription based web application. I've created a Chrome Hosted App - essentially an installable bookmark - for each both of those parts of our product.

The interesting parts of the app manifests are as follow:

"manifest_version": 2,
"app": {
    "launch": {
          "container": "tab",
          "web_url": "https://paydirtapp.com/dashboard"
    }
}

---

"manifest_version": 2,
"app": {
    "launch": {
          "container": "tab",
          "web_url": "https://paydirtapp.com/free_invoice_creator"
    }
}

---

I can install the free invoice creator app, and the full featured app, but not both at the same time.

Attempting to do so (in Chrome 26.0.1410.10 (Official Build 183151) dev) causes the following error message:

"An error has occurred. Could not add the application because it conflicts with "Free Invoice Maker".

The only reference I can find to this issue is in https://developers.google.com/chrome/apps/docs/developers_guide#manifest, where they state the following:

Important: If you provide multiple apps, avoid overlapping URLs. If a user tries to install an app whose "web_url" or "urls" values overlap with those of an already installed app, the second installation will fail due to URL conflict errors. For example, an app that specifies a "urls" value of "http://mail.example.com/" would conflict with an app that specifies "http://mail.example.com/mail/".

Previously, my web_url value was just set to https://paydirtapp.com/, which caused the same error. I expected that updating it so that it wasn't a substring of the other app would solve the problem, but it hasn't.

Does anyone know if it's possible to have multiple Chrome Hosted Apps where the web_url is for the same domain?

Answer from Moshe Matz (copy from comment):

Using separate subdomains for each app should work. For example, use https://dashboard.paydirtapp.com and https://free_invoice_creator.paydirtapp.com. You will likely need a new SSL certificate that contains both of those names.
