Error in GlideApps pricing information

Dear GlideApps developers,

I would like to draw your attention to a discrepancy in the information about the tariffs on our platform. On the main page, when choosing the Maker tariff, it is indicated that the number of users can be unlimited. However, when paying for this tariff, in the personal account settings, a limit of 1,000,000 users for one application is indicated.

In fact, this is not entirely true. The user table in the database currently only supports up to 25,000 rows. This limit also determines the ability to contain up to 25,000 users in my application.

Itā€™s up for interpretation. You are technically not limited to the number of users, so in reality it is ā€œunlimitedā€. As for the 1,000,000 limit on the usage screen, I think itā€™s an arbitrary number thatā€™s unrealistically large so you donā€™t run into any back end warning messages. Mostly itā€™s meaningless.

Itā€™s your choice if you choose to utilize the user table or not, which of course would also need to factor in row limits. If you donā€™t utilize user profiles or the user table, then you donā€™t have to worry about individual rows for each user.

Basically ā€œunlimitedā€ means just that. Itā€™s not limited, or not ā€œcappedā€. The other limitations of the plan will still kick in before you get close to number like that.

If you are expecting a million or more users on a plan thatā€™s only $60, then Glide would probably be operating at a loss.

Personally, I would never expect to have such a large user base on a low tier plan. To me, unlimited just means that Glide wonā€™t lock me out due to the number of users signing in. It doesnā€™t ignore the fact that other limits exist under the plan.
