This aggressive price update adds lock-in, keeps user restrictions, makes integration more expensive & adds risk of further cost inflation to the legacy users of almost all plans: 1. The legacy users of the Team Plan (that does not accept gmail users) are now locked-in by price, as they have to keep the subscription active OR the subscription cost will rise from 125 to 250 usd/month. 2. Legacy Makers are even more locked-in as their data sources are limited to Google Sheets + Glide Tables, restricted to personal email address users, and now it will be much more costly (249 USD instead of 125 USD/month) to integrate with Airtable. The most negatively impacted I think is this second category of users and potential users considering the former Team Plan for data integration with Airtable or willing to use Glide as the front-end for their Airtable data. **Please restore the Team Plan.** ---

i then misunderstood it. So the Legacy Teams plan **allows gmail accounts to login** as users of our webapps? ---

To me one of the biggest problem in this pricing is the difference between personal users and users. With the maker plan you have up to 25K personal users per app, which is great. However if you have to build the same single app with a single user (no personal user) that connects each month then it is directly 249$/month. Even is this app is only to visualize data and not to edit. To me it is problematical because you cannot say to a business client : "if you use your personal email address then it 86$/month but if you use your professional email address then it is 249$/month ». Small business cannot afford this amount for a simple visualizing app. The case is even more problematical if this client needs 100 users per month. You will have to pay 249$ + 6$\*70=669$ per month… When this happens you may want to switch to an enterprise plan to do economy of scale. With the enterprise plan you do economy of scale on user amount, however all your edit and add rows action count as updates. What you win with the left hand you lose it from the right. Right now I feel stuck to build apps for small businesses that want to connect with their professional email adresses. – To me Glide product is great but the pricing prevents to meet market needs correctly. – SOLUTION : I don’t know if glide has to pay more if it is a connexion with a professional email. If it the case a solution would be to charge more per professional connexions in the maker plan. Same with row limits which could work as add-on, if you need more you pay more, but you can customize your plan and choose if you need 10, 20, 40, 80k… more rows. This way every Glide builders would be able to build according to its needs. ---

Whatever the cause (type of users that will sign in, or airtable as a data source), to upgrade now costs more than double of what it costed last week. This adds pressure to small solopreneurs to use the maker plan with google sheets **or** glide tables to keep costs assumable for public facing apps. For internal apps, glide may want to focus on medium/large size companies and profitable businesses that can assume this premium pricing. i hope glide reconsiders this and restores the Team Plan. ---

Yes, those are the companies we’re building for. [Take a look at our customer stories for examples.](https://glideapps.com/customers) ---

Pricing can be really difficult. It’s reassuring to me that Glide has kept legacy pricing for those on old plans. I had an old app on legacy pricing for almost 2ish years before I decided to upgrade it to a Maker plan. That is far more generous than any other software company I’ve purchased from. Thank you for that, Glide. I’m excited to see pricing where people aren’t confused by some aspect of it, and don’t need either a flow chart or a validation tool to figure it out. **Basically, dead simple pricing.** It feels like that future is really close too. I see other companies with usage based pricing, and when I’m asked to pay more, it’s a no brainer because I can see that I’m using more. As an agency, I see businesses in the U.S. with mainly two types problems: either the world is on fire and $200-$1000/month is nothing to solve the problem, or they have a list of things that annoy them that they are just dealing with and a $200/month value is not guaranteed. I’d love to see a plan that I can suggest to these businesses that’s in the $50-$100/month range with a small amount of users/updates that allows me to add more of them as needed, and doesn’t have any of the flow cart / validation complications. In the mean time, Glide, why not let people add business users to the Maker plan? And, by extension, allow unlimited personal users on the Business plan? ---

That would be great. At the beginning of Glide there was no distinction between personal users and professional ones. ---

@yahya_banouk Have you changed plans since November 6th or started a new business plan since then? If not, you are grandfathered in to the legacy business, which includes SQL data sources. ---

Are you querying your SQL table or directly linking to an entire table. In some cases CRUD is not allowed, depending on how you set up your link to the SQL. For example querying (SQL Select statement) only provides a read only table. Check the documentation to see if that’s the case. > **[SQL Server | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/data-sources/sql-server)** > > Connect to your SQL Server and build database-grade apps and tools. If you have followup questions, I recommend starting a new thread because we are getting off topic here and I don’t think your problem has anything to do with the current plans. ---

Holy sh\*t. I remember thinking Glide was expensive at $25/month and I came back today and now its $68/month billed yearly. I love this app and it provides a lot of simplified functions, but I am curious how you justify this much of a price hike (apparently two this year) when other competitors are launching daily and their pricing is still around $25/month? Still no education plans or small-business discounts is disappointing too with such a high price hike. I wouldn’t have paid $49, and I wont pay $69, but the free plan honestly has almost everything I need . ---

> [@Jeremy\_Pringle](#): > > I am curious how you justify this much of a price hike (apparently two this year)? Our plans evolve as the platform evolves. The Glide of two or three years ago is _very_ different from the Glide of today, but the team’s also been very diligent in making sure customers keep the legacy plan/pricing they’re already on. If the plans don’t make sense for what you’re building, and you’re not seeing the value out of Glide that you want, then we’re probably not the right platform for you. > [@Jeremy\_Pringle](#): > > I wouldn’t have paid $49, and I wont pay $69, but the free plan honestly has almost everything I need.
