I came across this challenge via a blog recently, and apparently it is quite the rage currently.  
I wrote about my motivation to make this app here: [https://twitter.com/sardamit/status/1301252146482954240?s=20](https://twitter.com/sardamit/status/1301252146482954240?s=20)

In my understanding, Glide doesn’t count rows from the Users/App Login tabs towards the limits.  
And for this app, I have only used user-specific columns to track a user’s progress through the program.

In theory, this app could have hundreds and thousands of users, without me having to pay anything because I am well within the limits of the Free/Personal tier.

But because I know that user data will still be captured for these thousands of users (if there ever are) using Glide Sheets, it will still cost Glide. I don’t know how significant these costs are but I empathize with Glide when it says that paid apps pick up the tab for free apps like this.

This was a fun PoC app for me, and I found this possible loophole while developing this app. Not many apps will be able to exploit this, but sharing it so that Glide can think of a solution, if applicable.

I was under the impression Glide doesn’t allow the app:logins sheet to be used for user profiles. So it does count towards the limit?

</div>

I tested it by adding dummy rows to both sheets: Users and Logins.

The row count didn’t increase.

Sorry, Jaime. I didn’t mean that I was using App: Logins for User profiles. The user profiles tab and App:Logins tab are separate and the rows in these tabs are not being counted towards the app limits.

I could be completely wrong though!

Definitely being counted for me.

Logged in using a new account, the new email shows up under both tabs, yet the # rows is still 77.

Someone from Glide’s team can confirm.

Looks great Sardamit! I’m curious about the home page, what kind of layout did you use?

Looks like:

- Text/Title
- Image
- Text
- Inline list without image
- Button with sign-in action

Thanks @ThinhDinh, I am just now figuring out using details page as home page is useful. Thanks 😝

I remember reloading the sheet, and the Sheet Edits counter has increased by 1 as well.  
So yes, I did reload the sheet.

That’s really strange. I just tested it on a few different client apps and the row count increased on all of them.

I added additional columns to my User profiles sheet (apart from Name, Email, Image) and now these are being accounted for in the row counts.

Weird.
