Merci pour le mode écoute. C’est important dans ce monde de sourds.
Je partage l’inquiétude de tous concernant le nombre d’utilisateurs.
J’ai environ 10 applications qui fonctionnent sur un forfait de 99$. J’ai jusqu’à 200 utilisateurs publics par mois (sur les 5000 de l’ancien forfait). Tout cela me convenait.
Avec les nouveaux forfaits, il me faudrait avoir 2 forfaits Team de 399$ (soit presque 800$) pour conserver ces 200 utilisateurs (qui utilisent adresse mail pro comme personnelle, impossible à quantifier).
Impossible pour moi d’absorber le prix x8 …
Je n’aurai pas pensé avoir besoin d’une alternative à Glide…
Il me faut un plan B, et vite…
Je ne travaille pas pour Glide, mais je vais quand même me faire l’avocat du diable 
Compte tenu de vos chiffres, cela signifie qu’1 utilisateur vous coûte $0.50 par mois. Ceci correspond aussi au revenu de Glide venant de vos utilisateurs. Je vais faire l’hypothèse que $0.50 par mois par utilisateur dans le secteur de logiciel professionnel est un revenu faible. Soit la valeur que vous apporte Glide par utilisateur, et donc la valeur perçue par l’utilisateur, est bien supérieure à $0.50 par mois, et dans ce que cas Glide aimerait bien pouvoir profiter de cette marge aussi, ce serait normal. Soit vous ne margez pas tant que ça, et dans ce cas la valeur ajoutée de l’application est faible et cela intéresse Glide que moyennement d’être dans le business d’applications à faibles marges.
Rendons-nous compte que développer des applications, quelqu’en soit la manière (code, nocode ou autre), coûte un bras: infrastructure technique, planification et développement, code, design, sécurité, hébergement, maintenance, etc. Les entreprises de nos jours ont des armées entières pour couvrir tous ses postes. Quand on développe sur Glide, beaucoup se passe derrière le rideau. Un peu comme pour un robinet ou une prise électrique : derrière le mur c’est très complexe et l’utilisateur ne s’en rend pas compte. Avec Glide, nous on ne s’occupe que de la partie planification et développement. Il faut bien payer le reste. Dans le cas de développement d’applications, on développe si on rentabilise l’effort. S’il n’y a pas grand chose à rentabiliser, c’est-à-dire l’application apporte peu de valeur ajoutée, alors on ne le fait pas 
Cela n’intéresse pas Glide d’être le partenaire technique de projets qui ne margent pas.
Et maintenant je retire ma cape d’avocat 
Questions about pay-as-you-go Updates:
Are updates charged $0.02 per update on each individual update, or by blocks of updates (e.g., 500, 2.5K, 5K, etc.)?
For example, if a Maker project has 625 updates in a single month and they are on a monthly plan are they going to pay $62.50 that month ($60 base fee + $2.50 for Update overage) or $100.00 ($60 base fee + $40 for a block of 2.5K updates)?
If $100, will Glide carryover the 2,250 updates on the account for future use?
Don’t forget the cost of independent developers and agencies looking for companies to digitize using Glide. It’s not just the cost that an entrepreneur assumes; there’s also the cost that developers and agencies incur to put it into practice, and this cost is then passed on to the companies. Only if a company is large and has an internal development team can it purchase Glide on its own; otherwise, it will be acquired through external agencies or independent developers. Therefore, implementing Glide is not just about the cost of the platform/users; there is a lot of added value that is not considered in these conversations.

Adding this here for vis as I know the Glide team is listening on what things are missing on the Maker plan!

In that case, it would be great if:
- Airtable was available in the Maker plan
- either company/personal users can sign up (since I can’t control for sure which one they’ll use)
Do all paid plans include Google Analytics?
I’m not at all sure, but my guess is that Google Analytics would be on Team+ (team, business, entreprise), not on Free nor Maker.
Just reviewed airtables app building roadmap. Looks impressive.
Link?
Different from Glide of course, but I love AI building tools like Mindstudio.
It would be great to have Analytics in the Maker plan, as it is logical and necessary for applications intended for public use. I don’t see the interest in using Analytics for an internal application.

@DJP When you say. “All paid plans include white labeling for all apps”, do you mean, they have the option to white label at a price, or any app can be whitelebeled for free?
I was under the impression white labeling was included in my plan, meaning I didn’t think there was any additional cost. But when I checked my dashboard, I was being charged for each white-labled app. I have since turned off white labelling.

What about the use of AI?
I have built an education app. In each course, there is an integrated Chat GPT. Now it is very expensive to use integrations. Feels like the whole app has to be rebuilt now.
There is native Glide AI. Is it counted in monthly updates?
It does not look like a great ChatGPT replacement, though.

Are you on one of the new plans or on an old plan?
You should have received an email that your plan will be migrated such that all whitelabeled apps will be whitelabeled at no additional cost. We are in the process of migrating legacy teams with this change, so you should expect this to happen in a week or so.

I’m on a legacy plan. Thanks for the clarification.

The Docs used to say that updates are counted in increments of 1000. But now this info isn’t there… Confusing and need to reconfirm with Glide. Usage
If that has changed and we will be charged only for exact amount of updates used - That’s GREAT NEWS!
Given the new pricing model, it is imperative that each account displays all usage data — updates, rows, users, and file storage — since many of us will be forced to downgrade from a former Pro plan and transition many projects to Maker due to the drastic change in how Users are calculated.
After moving projects to Maker, the storage allowance is only 1GB so account holders need to know how much file storage each individual project is using. Yes, file storage is listed under Billing > Team Quotas but this doesn’t provide details on an individual project level.

It’s great that the enable unlimited usage button exists. This allows handling peak updates in specific months or preventing storage overflow by paying for the excess. I find it very useful!
