**Our new Explorer plan makes powerful features like Workflows, Glide AI, and integrations more accessible – starting at just $25 per month.** The Explorer plan is for builders who want to go deeper with Glide, _without_ jumping straight into a Maker or Business plan. It’s a great way to build smarter apps and see what Glide’s truly capable of, making it ideal for: - Learning how to build software - Expanding your Glide usage beyond the Free plan - Building side projects, functional prototypes and MVPs in Glide **Important:** Explorer is a new addition to our pricing lineup, not a replacement for any plans. All existing plans (Free, Maker, Business, Enterprise) remain unchanged.

With great plans, come great explorations! 😃 That will obviously allow more people to afford Glide paid features. ---

I like it! I think that can be the best plan to try to build a real first project. But when a plan for business based on usage and not on users? 👀 ---

Cool! I suggest that u guys add Google Sheets to it, and make the Maker Plan Google Sheets and Excel 🙂 ---

Great way for newbies to ‘glide’ into Glide apps. ---

This is a great start to being competitive in a very tough environment. At $25 per month, you kinda expect custom branding and custom domain to be part of the package. That’s the only “barrier” or friction point i noticed but like i said its a good start but that needs looking into. ---

It’s a great plan for those starting a project, but I’m still sad about my legacy business plan because of the 30-user limit. “Ok, then go to the Maker plan!” → And lose access to APIs, Big Query, File Storage… Essential for my apps. “Then go to the new Business plan!” → And increase $420 (70 users \* $6), approximately 168.67% more than before and totally out of my budget! And yes, I use close to 100 users, most of whom use personal Gmails just for login. “Then stay on Legacy!” → And stay out of the new automatic actions and run the risk of Glide discontinuing the plan at any time, just like Glide will do with the classic apps. I don’t mind paying a little more, because I really value this tool and understand Glide’s need to seek what’s best for its own business. But unfortunately this plan is completely out of budget. Suggestion: Create a new plan, it could even be called the “Agency Plan” plan, which would be the combination of Bussines + Maker, the value of both subscriptions: $309 and maybe even a little more, with the business tools + unlimited personal users. It would be a great gateway for makers to purchase larger plans and encourage people like me to leave the legacy, even increasing Glide’s revenue. I hope you look at my suggestion with affection! 🙂 ---

AMAZING 🤩 This is something I’ve wanted for a very long time – as it’ll make Glide a LOT more accessible cos $60/month is quite steep for many people, while still giving them a taste of some of the awesome paid features 😉 ---

I just created a new Team and upgraded the plan to Explorer. After payment the Team plan has the correct tags to show it is on the Explorer plan. I then tried to transfer an App that is in another Team but I get this message: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/d/2dc9623d57af9c9fca3892853b7d6d5bf9e8c22b.png) The App is not published and is currently in a team that has a live Explorer plan (with 1 other published app). Do I just need to wait for systems to synch? I trust this is a temporary glitch? ---

Thanks… I have tried refreshing and 30 mins later, I get the same bug. UPDATE: This resolved itself 2 hours later. Maybe it’s a data synch thing. ---

Interesting proposition! That said, without the inclusion of a custom domain, it feels quite similar to the free plan, which makes it difficult to see the added value. Including a custom domain would make a significant difference and help justify the upgrade. ---

I agree with the fact that custom domain should be enabled on any paid plan. Remember the day when glide.page has been blocked by multiple ISPs… ---

+1 to this. I’ve been on the (Legacy) Starter plan for years and would love to switch to the Explorer plan so that I can tweak my app with CSS but we’re using a custom domain and I really don’t want the hassle of trying to work around it. ---

I would like to use Radar to track location, distant. How many data can be sent per month? I purchased Maker plan already. Anyway, do I have to pay more for Explorer to use Radar? ---

- Radar is available on Explorer. If you have access to Maker already, I would check if it gives access to Radar as well. You can do this by trying to add Radar integration to an app in the Maker team. - All of Radar’s actions take 1 update. On Maker, you have 500 updates, then +2¢ / update for anything over 500. ---

I am developing an app for taxi drivers which have more than 10,000 users log in simultaneously. And Radar might be run at more than 10,000 updates per day. How much do I have to pay per month? Which plan should I select? ---

You will pay the amount of excessive updates (over 500), and your apps are limited to these. ![CleanShot 2025-06-04 at 09.47.43](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/e/7e6a8cc74ade5a46bead681a9dc67f81b7aec2e0.png) Also, all your users must be using personal email domains.
