I need an application for a car service. In the application, customers will make an appointment with the craftsmen, receive invoices, notifications about the readiness of the car, and so on. Which tariff should I choose? At first glance, none of the tariffs are suitable for me
Can you share a little more about the number of customers you expects, perhaps the the types of emails these users would be using to access the application?
I would say the Maker plan could be suitable for your project:
- Unlimited visitors: this is true for all plans
- Unlimited users with non-professional email adresses: people who be able to log in with a non-professional email address (email addresses with what appear to be a professional domain name won’t have access to the app)
- Optional sign-in: so users can browse around your application looking for the service they need, then they can sign in when needed.
- Notifications would be via sms or email.
Approximately 30 clients per day. The client adds their cars with documents to the profile to choose when recording, provides services, receives an invoice, pays and chooses free time for recording.
Assuming they really need to log in to be able to request services and pay for those services, Maker is your best bet.
I suspect that there won’t be enough lines on the Maker. In 4 months, 1000 users have been running up. If we take 20 lines per user, that’s 20,000 lines. It turns out not even enough for a year.
I definitely need more lines. Can I buy them?
Wouldn’t you want Big Tables for something like that?
Are needed. But it seemed to me that there is a limit of 50K lines on Maker, taking into account BigTables.
Ah yes that’s correct…
Then I would check the viability of other pricing plans, or talk to their sales team.
I understand that there are no problems with rows on the Enterprise tariff. But I will pay $5 for each client, even if they do not register their car for repair, but simply verify it in the app. I’m probably wrong, it can’t be true.
You pay based on the amount of users that sign-in over the course of a billing cycle. The count resets for the next cycle.
I understand it. If you take a calculator, then I will pay 3000-5000$/month for the tariff. This is not possible.
The features of the Maker tariff are enough for me, but 50K lines are not enough. And more expensive tariffs offer worse user limits. I’m trying to figure out why this is so.
Because those plans serve different target audiences, as far as I understand. Business/Enterprise are served with internal apps that scales with the user count. Maker is intended to be for public apps, but there must be a limit or else Glide will not profit.
I can’t fully speak for them, but public-facing apps have never been their intended audience for the past few years.
