I’m trying to develop a service site for users of my company’s products. The site handles your personal information and requires a password protected login feature.

If my understanding is correct, I should use the Private sign-in provided by the Private App.  
The product has about 10,000 users, so I have to pay $ 20,000 a month. This seems too expensive. Is there anything wrong with my understanding?

Glide does not have a username/password login option. Available options are documented below:

Possibly. You only really need to use a Private App if you want to restrict _who_ can login to your app.  
For your use case - where you need to protect personal information - it might be that you just need a Public App with [Row Owners](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/security-and-user-data/row-owners) applied.

I’d suggest that you review the information that Glide provides about data and user security, and then decide if Glide is the right fit.

If you really do need a private app for 10,000 users, then you might want to consider approaching Glide about Enterprise licensing.
