I have being informed that Glide is going to migrate all customers that are currently on legacy plans to the new pricing plans?
I am from Brazil and the pricing increase is huge, making it impossible to keep using glide (or at least will limit a lot) how I use glide currently.
I have always seing in the answers here that the policy of glide when migrating plans is that all customers that are on legacy plans could keep it that way. Is it changing now?
It makes me really worried on building my apps on glide, since I can’t predict when and how the pricing changes will bring us. I build the app for my whole company in glide and I have to think about migrating it because in the long run, glide can suddenly change pricing and leave us with no options.
This is part of a print screen of a email I received from one of glide team member after taking a migration meeting with him and saying I wouldn’t be able to migrate.
There are no changes currently to the legacy plans. Whatever you’re on now, nothing is changing. If there are new plans, they will apply to new clients and for existing customers that want to upgrade.
I switched to the business plan last year, so I think we’re safe. But I can’t even imagine how people who have been on other plans since 2020 are feeling about this huge change.
I totally understand that price changes are part of any business relationship, but changes like this on no-code platforms can be risky for those who rely heavily on them.
I love Glide and have been recommending it to many friends who are also business owners. However, having to warn them about these changes is making them rethink which platform they’ll use to build their companies on.
This is my greatest fear with using Glide I will admit. It’s the pricing structure. My app is subscription based monthly, I leave enough margins to compensate now, but why should Glide’s pricing model effect my profit in the short term when I have to plan for a “price update” to my subs. It would be great to get as much notice as possible about pricing updates.
It leaves me to rework my apps to somehow consume less updates more often than I want to, especially as it scales over 25k updates per month. Meanwhile my app is almost completely API driven as its the only way to link many systems together into one app, hence why I prefer the legacy plan of 25k updates, as its more of a use case for me with the API
