Will there be more Big Tables beyond the 50k limit in the near future for the Maker Plan?

I am making a review app, everything was perfect and ready to launch until the new limit of 50k for big tables stopped me. I would pay for more storage, but the Business plan doesn’t allow unlimited personal users.

This is extremely frustrating because the marketing of Big Tables supporting “millions of rows” instead of the real limitations on all the plans. Even the ai bot confirmed this only to now say the opposite; conveniently after I bought year plan.

I am stuck find another no code platform or waiting for glide to catch up with demand. Neither are really a good option for me right now. I feel like I wasted my money.

I understand your frustration. How many rows do you think you would need?

To be honest I was hoping up for the full up to 10 million rows like I was believing it was based on a previous chat with the bot months ago.

But really just as much as I can get at this point otherwise I give up on my project and call it a day.

And how many users do you think you would have?

That I am not too sure on because that will depend on lots of variables. I wish when it said Unlimited Personal Users it meant that, rather than the fine print for 25k limit of Glide Tables.

If my app goes where I want it to go, I’d hope Unlimited, but I guess 1-2 million minimum as this would be a multistate app.

I can help you with that, creating personal APIs that direct Data flow to Glide.

How many real users PER MONTH do you think may login to the app?

I don’t really know for sure because I originally had it so everyone had an account, but glides 25k Personal User limit is really hurting my vision.

But it could be 1000 - 5000 visits per month but might go up to 10k-20k if I get my shop partners in per month.

But again I would need hopefully the Unlimited Personal Users like the Maker plan claims.

Will you have public users? Or will they all need an account?

12

Some people will be signed out to just see reviews, but to use features such as favoriting and reviewing requires an account.

13

That is the question, how many logged in users do you think you will have? Don’t tell me the perfect world. Tell me the required world :face_with_tongue:

14

Those are the required, plus your marketing says unlimited personal users. So I am building in accordance to that.

I am building a review platform that would use login to create favorites and leave reviews.

If glide isn’t capable of this opportunity, I suggests properly advertise the Maker plan as being limited to 25k vs unlimited. HUGE DIFFERENCE

If you do not want to answer the question, it will be hard for me to guide you toward the best solution.

That said, I agree that it should definitely be explained on the website.

I gave my answers and posted in a community form. What part of this isn’t asking for an answer.

Please refer to my previous answers. If you can’t help just say so.

You can create your own API on an external server or with Google Apps Script, and then fetch it using a JavaScript column. This works on any Glide plan, even the free one. This can solve your limits problem.
