Glide’s new plans and pricing [Closed Thread]

Thank you! Very much appreciated!

@JKLS @thaqiftaher

What specifically would you like clarification on? Yes the user counts are correct. Plans aren’t necessarily a direct upgrade from one to the other. It’s more that each plan serves a different purpose and target.

The user counts are correct, but there is also the consideration and distinction regarding the difference between Personal Users and Users (Business users & Personal Users).

according to current calculations available on the official Glide page with detailed New Pricing model (Flexible Pricing Plans That Scale With Your Business | Glide) Maker Plan with unlimited (but only ‘personal’ type) users and 10K updates will cost 250$ per month. Team plan with 20 sign in users (personal and company emails) and 10k updates will cost 225$ per month. Business plan with 20 sign in users and 10k updates starts at 310$.
Of course, understandably integrations and available actions vary depending on the plan. And different plans serve different purposes…
If only Maker plan had an API… :pray:

I think this question may have been missed, but to answer your question, users with personal emails are unlimited on the Maker plan only.

Glide’s mission: Create a billion new software developers by 2030, or at least the ones who can afford it… This is a cautionary tale of the risks of building a business on no-code platforms.

What a shame. Glide has been one of the most attractive no-code platforms because it’s well-built, has a relatively low learning curve and has the best community of any no-code tool out there. Sure, that should come at a cost, and it has, but these new changes are a slap in the face to your customers.

Customers who are, in many ways, salespeople for your product. We do the hard yards meeting and pitching to people, selling what’s possible using Glide, building out their tool from scratch, and turning them into paying customers for you. We take a little bit on top as our cut - and this is just your agency users.

With these new changes, you’re pricing it as if you’re offering pre-built customised tools for these people and are charging the market rate to use them. Remember, you’ve only given us the ingredients; we’re the ones putting it together and building something worth paying a monthly fee for. We work in tandem with you.

Regrettably, today I’ve decided to take my clients and rebuild on another platform, as I know it’s only a matter of time before the legacy pricing ends.

Unity backtracked to stop their developer exodus - you can still turn this around.

Correct! To witch new platform are you referring?

I couldn’t find info on Public users limits on any of the new plans. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? Thank you!

I believe there is no longer public or private. it just users

There is no difference anymore. A user is a user.

@Nataliya_Kovaleva

Free and Maker plans only allow Personal users. All other plans allow any type of user.

I wonder could i do this:

Have 2 teams:

  1. one on Maker
  2. the other on Business/Enterprise

Apps share the same GT/Sheet table.

I haven’t thought of the use case in detail but this could circumvent some issues.

Quote: “Personal users are not the same as [private or public app users]. Glide apps can be public or private.”

As far as I understand, any signed in user counted as a user. A person who views and use your app without signing in isn’t counted at all. And has no official name atm :sweat_smile:.

Does that sound correct?

@kingzy As I understand it, you can’t share Glide tables between teams, although there is discussion about possibly changing that. I think a Google Sheet between teams would be no problem. I don’t see any issues with mixing an matching plans if that works for you, provided you understand the limitations of each plan.

@Nataliya_Kovaleva Visitors who view an app without signing in are still unlimited. There is no longer a concept of Private or Public users…only Personal or Business users. However, you can still have Public or Private apps.

Public apps allow anyone to sign in (provided they fit within the personal or business user types allowed by the plan).

Private apps still allow you to control who can sign in using a whitelist table (provided they fit within the personal or business user types allowed by the plan).

So your telling me, that if a PUBLIC person signs into say; a social media type app, built on the Maker Plan, but that person’s main email is a custom domain - they can’t sign in? So if we want custom domain sign in’s we now have to start paying $5 a user? If someone has an application with MANY public users and a few private log ins for admins, this no longer works because we have to pay $5 for each user.

@Zip_Apps_Team You can validate if the email is allowed using the validator tool linked to in the documentation. If you feel it is a valid personal email, then you can Give Feedback through the app to have it added to the list of personal domains. It sounds like they will be pretty flexible on doing this.

How do I upgrade from the Legacy Free Plan to the New Free Plan?

I have clients who use the app for their trainees to login and use. Their usage is no more than 2-3 active days in a month, usually to submit assessments.

Eg. john@tesla.com, mike@honda.com and eric@nissan.com

Client however, uses @lexus.com as their primary domain.

How is the private user here in use in this situation?

Yes, GT cannot be shared among teams, but we can use GSheet as a helper to in case there’s a need to update 2 GTs in 2 Teams.

Just a thought so far.
