Confused and Frustrated by Pricing Logic

Hey Glide team,

Can someone please explain this to me because it honestly feels like I’m being penalized for upgrading.

On the Maker plan at $45, I get 50k rows and unlimited personal users .

But if I want more rows and upgrade to the Business plan at $199, suddenly I’m limited to just 30 users?

How does that make any sense? I’m paying over 4x more, and somehow getting less in a critical area? What’s the logic behind this?

This is really frustrating, and I’d appreciate some clarity.

Thanks,

The Maker plan allows unlimited personal users (with personal/edu emails), while the Business plan includes 30 users of any email type.

Maker Plan: Personal Users

  • Unlimited personal users: Anyone can sign in as long as they use a personal email domain (like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook) or an educational domain (ending in .edu). You can check if the email qualifies as a personal email here.
  • No limit: There’s no cap on the number of these users who can access your app.
  • Intended for communities, schools, or public-facing apps: Great if your audience is mostly individuals using non-business emails.

Business Plan: Users

  • 30 users included: The plan comes with 30 user seats by default.
  • Any email domain: These users can sign in with any email address, including business domains (like @company.com), not just personal or educational ones.
  • Designed for organizations: This is ideal for companies or teams where users have business email addresses.
  • Add more users for a fee: You can purchase additional user seats if you need more than 30.

That makes sense I guess I have to to talk to sales for a custom pricing.

Thank you :folded_hands:
