There is a discrepancy in # of logins between Google Analytics and the Glide Dashboard. Does anyone know why the counts are different? Does Google Analytics count every new device as a user?

Ok thanks @Darren_Murphy I figured as much.

Are there any workarounds to automate the count of logins? I bill for logins…

I would define a login in the same way Glide does. By email per month.

Thinking out loud I guess I could make a popup/ tab that appears on the first of the month.

Or just pick any component that you know they will touch every time they open the app, and attach an action to it that sets a date time column in their user profile to the current date and time.
