Thanks for listening! It’s one of Glide‘s core strengths.
I remember the open discussion about pricing back in Oct 2021 with update-based pricing. 🆕 Glide Pages (Beta) - #157 by Gregory
I understand that Glide wants a higher share of the created value.
Update based pricing matches your costs and gliders were incentivized to optimize them.
User based pricing again doesn’t get to the core of the problem as in 2021.
Maybe view-based (or page-load based) pricing gets closer to value creation.
Additionally, Glide has gone beyond CRUD thanks to automations and integrations. These features provide most value and thus gliders are willing to pay a premium (eg pay per action executed and per integration used; edit: and pay per API call and pay per GlideAI-column).
More and more gliders make a living with your tool and need planning reliability. Inflation adjusting price increases are acceptable.
