As of October 31st 2025, Glide teams must be on a paid plan to publish apps. Teams on a Free plan can still build and preview apps in the builder, but if they try to publish, they’ll see a prompt to upgrade to a paid plan. You can view the available plans on our website. Why the change to the Fre…

Hey @NoCodeAndy ! I agree that this change will prevent spammers, bad actors, and ne’er-do-wells from publishing dangerous apps. Does this only affect NEW team folders or will published apps on existing free plans be auto-unpublished?

I appreciate the suggestion and your attention! $19/month is a bit steep for me right now. I would consider paying if developing in Glide could generate comparable income.
