Great news! We have a few enterprise leads who still use Office and this should be a game changer for us to close those leads. ---

> [@sebastiansolari](#): > > - What do you like or dislike about using Excel on Glide? > - What features would make Excel on Glide better? The one thing that has me stuck is the (seemingly arbitrary) 10 row limit. You’re basically asking us to pay take an app pro that hasn’t even been developed yet (and therefore is not making money). The 500 row limit in Google Sheets and Glide Tables is a better solution. Don’t know why you changed it for Excel. ---

Ugh I just read this. Surely can’t be true. Seems a big own goal for Glide if this is true. ---

Airtable and Excel have indeed a 10 row limit in the Free tier. ---

Excel and Airtable are meant to be exclusive to Pro apps. You can connect and try them with a free app, but we want you to upgrade to use them for real. Our new pricing is coming soon, and will make this much better, as you will upgrade your Team, rather than individual apps, and a Pro team will allow unlimited Airtable & Excel apps.
