I can agree that this IS a choice and cannot blame them for keeping it a business. I am sure this is a correct direction for this type of product. ---

I would like to move to Enterprise, but working on convincing those making the budget decisions in my company that it’s worth it. I was assuming that Enterprise pricing has now been updated as well though? I met with someone from Glide last year about the Enterprise pricing, but I’m not sure if any of that is relevant now. ---

I see. Thank you for the clarification, Robert! But the idea is to expand native functionality, too, as I see it. However, I believe, for many companies, it would be very hard to settle on a growing platform that can change its plans again rather than integrating already known and effective tools, which is now much more expensive. So it all really depends on the need. As Musab wrote, this way, Glide narrows the niche of their product, and from now on, it might not be a perfect solution for any business (which it probably never was but, at least, was advertised this way) ---

Though, for most of my personal needs an updated pricing is great then. Because I use native Glide actions a lot and that was pricey ---

These changing pricing plans, business model, working limits (updates), make it VERY VERY hard to “grow” with Glide. I went from Starter to Business plan within 5 months and it felt FORCED. I’m sure a lot of developers are trying to build their businesses on top of Glide’s promises of a solid platform, but this platform is NOT stable from the bussiness standpoint. It’s going against what I fell for with Glide a year+ ago. I feel this very confusing and overly complicated. ---

One last question from me: Can someone please expand on the definition of “personal user” and “user”? I am not entirely following the difference here.

Personal users = users with a personal email address. [More details in the docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/users/personal-users). 👍 > A [personal user](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/users/personal-users) is a user that signs into a Glide app using a personal email domain, such as Gmail, or an education email domain, such as .edu. Personal users are not the same as [private or public app users](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/users#private-vs.-public-users). Glide apps can be public or private. ---

thank you, Andy! Reading the documentation right now, but from a quick look, it sounds like any user with a personal (i.e., gmail, outlook, etc. etc.) are “unlimited”? So if I have say 1K users with say @gmail, then this wouldn’t be charged, correct? Think I am repeating to what is already stated in the documentation haha, but just want to triple check my assumption is correct! ---

While we are on the trend of making things scalable, I thought I’d add here that scalable file storage is something I’d be willing to pay a premium for since I wouldn’t have to move files via Zaps or something. Just throwing it out there that as I scale, I’d happily pay like $50 per 1TB. ---

Just back to the office having sold this morning an internal app to my client (timeshare resort) which will allow his members (around **1000** ) to view **read-only** information in an **private app**. The client agreed to sign up for the Business Plan which is/was **$249** per month, how on earth can I tell him now that after all its around **$10.000** per month??? ---

@MGA , Glide never offered 1000 users for a private app on business plan before as well. Looks like you were to build an app using Public Users. You can still do that using the Maker Plan which is for just $60 and gives you Unlimited Users. The only difference is that those Users can only sign in using their personal email and not business email. ---

@Hassan_Nadeem Correct, Public App with optional Sign-in, which makes the content private. But that does not change costs! How on earth can one control emails of around 1.000 users if they are personal or business ones? These emails are from clients of my client, I have no access to them at all! ---

@MGA How does Public App with Optional Sign In make the content private? 🤔 Well, my suggestion to you is go for the Maker Plan. I think it is a way better deal for you than previous Business Plan. ---

No thank you, this was a simple job: Build one app, get it hosted, maintained and supported. You are turning it in to a **large-scale build** with your new pricing!
