Thank you for all the feedback so far. Clarifying a few points… We designed each plan with a specific audience in mind. The Team plan isn’t an upgrade to Maker, for example. If you think a new plan could meet your specific needs, we want to hear your feedback on how we could improve it. Our plans cater to the audiences we serve today. They include all the power we’ve added to Glide over the past year and a half. We’ll continue to add more power and features, with some exciting new updates already in development. (Thanks to everyone who contributed to the 2024 wishlist!) Building apps for clients? You should join the Glide Experts program. You’ll get a 20% share of what your client spends in their first year with Glide, early previews of platform updates, beta invites, access to our active Experts community on Slack, and the opportunity to purchase our exclusive Agency plan. Keep the questions coming! We’ll add the most common ones to the FAQs below. FAQs Why do I get fewer updates in these new plans? Updates to Glide Tables and Glide Big Tables are now free and unlimited on all plans. Updates only come from external data sources, integrations, and API usage. The new update limits reflect this change. Reminder: you’re not limited to the number of base updates included in your plan, you can use and pay for more. Why do I get no updates in the new Free plan? No features on the Free plan consume updates. What is the difference between a personal user and a user? A personal user signs into a Glide app using a consumer email domain (such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo) or an education email domain (such as .edu). A user can sign in with any email domain. Learn more about personal users in our docs. Are personal users and public users the same thing? Legacy plans include a distinction between Public and Private users. New plans do not. Personal users can log into a Glide app regardless of the access settings. Does the Glide API consume updates? Yes, the Glide API consumes updates. The Glide Basic API allows developers to add, edit, or delete data programmatically. The Glide Advanced API allows developers to query data from tables. Learn more about them in our docs. What if I need more users or updates? You can enable unlimited usage for both users and upgrades. You’ll then pay for any updates or users beyond what’s included in your plan limit. Why isn’t file storage scalable, like users and updates? Good feedback! We’ve received a few requests to make file storage scalable and are looking into it. In the meantime, please get in touch with our sales team if you’re running into file storage limits on your app. Why would I upgrade from Maker to Team or Business? You wouldn’t! The Maker plan serves a different audience than the Team and Business plans. The Maker plan is for validating app ideas and prototypes, or for building apps for a community or school. Team and Business plans are for companies building custom software on top of their existing data. My agency business cannot survive with this new pricing model. Join the Glide Experts program for guidance and support in growing your agency with Glide. In addition to those resources, Glide Experts share in the revenue from clients they refer to Glide. Revenue sharing applies to your client’s total spend with Glide, including unlimited overages for updates and users. That means your share of revenue scales with your clients’ app usage. I won’t be able to afford Glide if my legacy plan is discontinued. There will be no changes to legacy plans in 2024. You will have at least three months notice before any changes go into effect, if/when they’re announced. …thank you! Original post Glide evolved significantly over the past year. It’s time for our plans to do the same. The new Glide plans better reflect the different types of customers we serve: Free: Learn how to create custom apps with no code Maker: Build prototypes or bring Glide to your school, non-profit, or community Team: Turn your spreadsheets into custom apps that adapt to any device Business: Build powerful tools connected to your high-scale databases Enterprise: Scale custom software across your entire organization All paid plans have flexible, usage-based pricing. This change also comes with under-the-hood improvements to our billing system, like better reporting in your Glide dashboard and a 20% discount on annual plans. Plus: Updates to Glide Tables are now free and unlimited across all plans! External data sources, integrations, and API calls will consume updates. :bulb: For existing Glide users: Your plans will not change. Your account is now considered a legacy plan. If you choose to upgrade or downgrade, you’ll switch to our new pricing model. Learn more about these new plans in our announcement on the Glide blog. Thanks to all the community members and customers who met with us last year. This wouldn’t have been possible without your input. Questions? Comments? Let’s keep the conversation going in this thread. Thank you! :folded_hands: [Introducing Glide's New Plans]

Dear, I am not a member of the Glide team, nor an expert, nor anything similar, but this time I am actively participating in finding a viable solution to the community’s problem, which also benefits all clients and the company because we all need to operate according to our needs. Glide needs to be profitable to grow and provide more opportunities for us. We need very precise and beneficial plans to offer security and stability to our future clients. But I see in your case that you use Glide quite intensively and want to fit all that into a low-cost plan, which is not possible. I understand your position in helping the community you represent and more, but with the utmost respect you deserve, you should seek help from that same community to subsidize this platform, which, from what I see, is of great help to everyone’s tasks. I repeat my utmost respect for your community and for you as well. Here we are debating to create fair plans based on real income because we all need money to develop. I hope you can find a viable solution, but it is far from being free. I reiterate that I do not belong to the Glide team, but I do work in the technological field, and everything must be profitable at least in the long run. My greetings.

Dear Nath, Those are SaaS’es this is an app development platform, not the same principles can apply, if so then Glide should hire you as experts and develop all the apps by themselves and kick everyone else.

I very disappoinment with the new free plans and google sheet relation. I very need to start my apps with free plans and full functionality in gsheet. Start with paied plans is not an option for everybody. I think Glides try to catch big clients agains small ones. This is a pitty

VERY DISAPPOINTED with the new pricing plan. Thinking seriously to migrate my apps to another platform. Does not make any sense to restrict the use of GSheets in the Free Plan. I use many functions of GSheets that can not be migrated to Glide Tables. I will need to lose many hours to do that. Glide is not trustable anymore…

This is it… One app! I built one app for my customer, and I fell in love with Glide. So I’m building something small for my wife, and now I’m playing with some AI for myself. It is the NICE part of my work. Today this ability costs: 99 USD, was 25. I think, at the end: you took away the opportunity to have fun, just work.

[image] UCT: I use many functions of GSheets that can not be migrated to Glide Tables. Which ones for examples? Glide Tables are very powerful, the basic and computed columns alone allow you to build so much. Glide AI columns and 3rd party integrations are icing on the cake, but for personal apps, projects, and having fun, Glide Tables and their basic and computed columns are usually all one needs. The Free plan give you unlimited visitors, 10 personal users, unlimited updates (because on Glide Tables), basic, computed and experimental columns, 25k rows like all the paid plans, and even a few integrations. Other features that Glide does not boast but that are there: hosting, storage, maintenance of the technical complexities that happen under the hood, staying up to date with the latest design trends, security and advanced access settings are all also included, on all plans. On the free plan, that means all of this is free. Building 10 projects for fun? Create 10 teams on the free plan. 100 projects? Create 100. You can build bigger and more powerful apps on the Free plan than before, so one might argue that the new Free plan is better than the old Free plan.

For example, and the most important one: my club colleagues can update the classification on the shared GSheet spreasheet. They don’t even know what is Glide, they just write numbers on an spreasheet. With Glide tables, it will not be possible. You need to enter to Glide, etc. etc.

In your specific case for your club, if your Google Sheets spreadsheet is needed because you are running AppScript on it or because of other integrations, then I understand your predicament. If on the other hand Google Sheets is only used to write, edit and store data, then why not migrate the data to Glide Tables. Would it make a difference where the data is stored? Your colleagues could be writing and editing data via a nice interface, the Glide app, instead of having to open a Google Sheets spreadsheet. Working on a Google Sheets spreadsheet is not an enjoyable experience, it’s not mobile-friendly, it’s prone to error. This is precisely why Glide exists: let the app be the interface between the user and the table/sheet (don’t work on the sheet directly). Your colleagues would not enter Glide, they would open the app, update some data in a nicely-designed form, and the data would be displayed in the app. Wouldn’t that be nicer than a spreadsheet? Granted, you would be limited to 10 personal users. I would argue that if your app creates great value for your club or for your colleagues, then at one point it might make sense to find some budget for it. How much value would you expect for free until you, your club, your club colleagues would be willing to start paying for it?

Glide has a JavaScript column wich will allow you to fetch Your Google Shets data and display it. @nathanaelb GS is not enjoyble expierience? Try to edit the Glide table, and let me know how enjoible was that. :money_mouth_face:
