I think thatâs 1000 pins on a map at any one time when viewing the app. Itâs not 1000 times a pin can be placed on a map within a month. Regardless, a map displaying 1000 pins at once is going to have lag. Thatâs a lot of coordinates to render on a map at one time.
Someone correct me if Iâm wrong, but I think that limit also loosely applies to how many addresses can be geocoded at once??? Such as using geocoding to convert addresses to coordinates to calculate distance.
A long time ago geocoded locations didnât count against the quota. Itâs been a hot minute since I worked with them so not sure if that is the case now (or even recently).
Either way, I would strongly encourage anyone with 1000 locations to filter them before displaying on a map. One-thousand locations on a map all at once doesnât sound too usable to me.
Edit: Just realized that my answer was for a question nobody asked.
Weâre aware that the Free plan has a more generous ratio of updates to other resources. We did this to be niceâwe could offer less on free if thatâs what youâre asking for @Luther
If the generosity to the free Apps is at the expense of those who are paying then by all means be less generous to the free Apps or alternatively you could extend that generosity to other plans.
Where there seems to be some form of an imbalance is where a person on Starter has to pay $25 just to get an extra 1500 updates compared to someone who is on a free plan, i dont get that rationale.
I know you will point to other benefits (e.g. extra rows, etc) that come with the starter plan but access to all of those features is still limited by the updates because to access those extra rows, i still need to have updates available. All i ask is that you have a relook at how it is structured and think in terms of value the customer on Starter/Pro/Business is getting compared to Free plan users. @david
More than 2,500 updates on Starter are available, you just need to pay for them. This is by design. It is okay if your plan becomes more expensive, even to the point where you consider it too expensive for your use caseâsome apps just wont be worth building on Glide. For example, an app that automatically updates whenever someone mentions âNoCodeâ on Twitter could become expensive for you, if the app does not have a clear value or purpose. It is not a goal of our pricing to make every possible app affordableâit is to charge our main customers appropriately for the kind of apps they tend to build.
We have a customer with around 300k updates per month, paying us about $4k/mo for their team, and they consider this to be extremely cheap. If you build an app that does this number of updates, but itâs only worth, say, $50/mo to you, we cannot lower our pricing to $50/mo to please you, because it hurts our overall business too muchâthis would also be pricing below our costs, in this caseâwhich in turn prevents us from improving Glide for you.
When an app becomes too expensive, please let us know and give us as much detail as possible about the use case, and what you perceive the value to be, so we can adjust the pricing if that is the kind of app we think more of our customers will build.
To summarize, we designed the pricing to be affordable to get started, and for you to exceed your included Update limits when your projects become successful enough. It is not an error when you need more Updatesâwe are trying to make Glide so powerful and useful to you, that you build more amazing projects and use up all of your included Updates! We consider that a victory for you, and for us.
i just paid for a starter and I cant transfer my app there??? @david
it says that my app is in another team⊠is not
how to cancel my new plan??? I canât move my apps there! this is a messâŠ
