Currently we've bought $99 plan.

We have two requirements:

Distribute one app on playstore.
Distribute another app in-house (only for our organization).

Below are my findings reference:

In $99 plan I can deploy the app using ad-hoc on 100 devices and on app store.
In $299 plan I can only deploy ad-hoc on in-house app but not on play store.

Apple have 2 types of program $99 and $299.

Which sould i buy in order to fullfill our requirements?

There is no 'upgrade'.

The two programs are separate. Separate programs involve separate accounts, each linked to separate and unique Apple IDs.

A Developer Program account involves distribution via the App Store. Only.
A Developer Enterprise Program account is for internal corporate distribution to employees. Only.

>Do we have to buy $99 + $299 annually in order to upload app on apple app store and for in-house app distribution for more than 100 devices without udid?

If the goal involves both methods of distribution, then both accounts are required, so yes, USD$398, annually.

The second requirement, where the app is distributed internally/inside a company to employees, is best suited by purchasing a Developer Enterprise Program account for USD$299.00 from Apple.

Your two requirements have nothing to do with each other. Play is Google's store. You seem to have misunderstood the information at that link.

>Currently we've bought $99 plan.

Why? Just because it costs less? Use it for distribution via Apple's App Store if you like, but using it to distribute to ≤100 employees via any process seems like more trouble than the money you'll save.
