> [@NoCodeAndy](#): > > Companies running their internal operations on Glide aren’t the same as indiehackers building MVPs or nonprofit groups building apps for their members. They’re all very different. From what I understand the Team plan takes care of internal operations and the Maker app is more suited for public facing portals. For my use, it’s unlikely I would have more than 4 people from the same company ordering within the same billing cycle. If you set Maker to include 5 users from the same private domain per billing cycle and charge $4+ for additional users from that unique e-mail you tackle your problem, save your tech team the headache of fine tuning the validator, make you more money, make me more money, allow more multiple use cases, save your customer service team the headache of explaining this, and most importantly you keep it simple. Internal operations will be more than 5 people logging in with that domain so they wouldn’t use Maker because the Teams plan would be cheaper. This allows businesses like mine to conduct business with other companies. ---

> [@bman737](#): > > From what I understand the Team plan takes care of internal operations and the Maker app is more suited for public facing portals. Maker skews towards B2C or apps, portals, directories, marketplaces, etc… hence the personal user distinction. We see portals running on Team, Business, and Enterprise (custom). The per user cost is either absorbed by the business model (e.g. premium marketplace charging users a monthly fee), or they’re on a custom plan catered to their specific requirements. ---

> [@Connor\_Finlayson](#): > > t playing around and experimenting with Glide, the Maker plan works. > > you have Team/Business which I think at $99 - $249 sounds reasonable Looking at it now in detail, the update on the Team plan makes it viable to run a business portal and it is reasonably priced; better than Maker. The only hair in the soup is the user limit. If you did unlimited personal users and a limit of 20 private domain users then the numbers start to add up from my end. Otherwise even with a 50% discount the overhead would be tough to absorb. Not everyone runs a subscription business model. I haven’t looked into a custom plan but perhaps there are enough users that can relate to my issue that would warrant a package that allows this. It would also be super helpful if you added a stripe integration, even if you take a percentage cut it helps us increase revenue and subsidize costs. (This is what PayHere does now and it’s money that they are taking for something you could probably do and also requires a lot of work to maintain from our end) > How does the per user billing work on an annual basis if active user numbers fluctuate throughout the year? Great question. Also how would it work if/when a client logs in with a wrong e-mail and then logs out and re-logs in with their correct e-mail or are they required to be on the user list prior to signing in? At $3-$4 a user, I’m worried about abuse and lack of control. ---

I do remember @david saying for day one that Glide wasn’t designed to build consumer apps with heaps of users, but people did you just it for that because it was possible. I think at least there is an option for unlimited users on the enterprise plan.I think there will be a sweet spot between 30-60 users were Team/Business makes sense, but for anything beyond that I think the enterprise plan is prob the best option. Obviously if you compare it to the other plans the enterprise plan is probably a lot more, but still nothing you would have to pay someone to build this out for you and maintain it. I think what it ultimately comes down to is: do you want to pay Glide to do the building for you, or do you want a person to do it for you? Over the last few weeks I looked into alternatives and they either get more technical or not as good, so I think it comes down to this. * * * I do agree though on the per user situation. I make YouTube tutorials and I get like 50 fake signups minimum per month. That is $200/month. As of right now, I think the only option with this would be to make it a “private” like app and to only let people with “active” accounts login. ---

I have a question regarding the agency plan. We have some clients who do not want to pay their Gilde directly, so my question is as follows: can we enter our payment information and our credit card for all these types of clients? And if so, would they count as clients for whom we would have the percentage of earnings? @NoCodeAndy ---

I have a lot to like with the maker plan especially with glide table updates now free. My biggest issue with maker is there is no flexiblity on upgrades especially when unlimited users are required and moving to private apps makes no sense. I would like to really see ablility for us to buy extra strorage space and additional rows through either add-ons or a new maker+ plan. I would have no issue paying but with the way things are, I will be maxing out real soon ---

I believe you can purchase additional apps on the Maker plan, which will also increase your storage and updates as all Apps under your Maker plan are shared. ---

These are excellent changes! Might actually switch to Maker plan from Legacy Pro now, I’d lose a few things… but not awful. Any talks of possibly having edits on Glide Tables not count towards the updates for Legacy Users?? ---

Gliders you need to offer a fully functional FREE plan so everything can be tested out. At the moment the FREE plan is extremely frustrating and not allowing experimentation with at the fully functioning app is a real problem. I can’t test out the AI integration, use a home page, add a login screen and much more. I suggest a months free trial, with full functionality. If I get hooked I will because it does what I want, the my early plan will be no problem. However, at this stage I don’t even know what Glide can do. ---

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the reply. I am a Maker at this stage. I have attached a screenshot of the Maker plan below. There is no mention of a FREE 1 months trial. And even on the Mker Plan, I won’t be able to use the AI integrations. The Company’s options mentions the 30 days free for business, but I’m not sure if this is 1 free month with the plan or actually a free 30 day trial the other options, Team and Enterprise, don’t mention a free trial. [https://www.glideapps.com/pricing](https://www.glideapps.com/pricing) As a start up wanting to produce a MVP, this is quite frustrating. Another program I use - DaVinci Resolve - an editing program - offers their program for FREE - the purchased option - which is a one-off price, offers additional options, but not ones that interfere with functionality. This strategy builds a user base. The one of the purchase price is steadily climbing. Early adopters had the advantage of a cheaper price. This has led to an absolute domination of the editing industry. ![Screen Shot 2024-03-21 at 4.24.05 pm.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/0/d054f9ef9212a8a786e0088a126c3b56a0261cda.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2024-03-21 at 4.27.06 pm.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/2/72588d6602b4302468a93cf7fc009fefa4e65456.jpeg) ---

I’m more interested in the Team and Pro Plans. I welcome the updates and feel they now represent decent value. Quite honestly I was in a swirl about the cost of pro plan because I hadn’t properly scoped out the Team plan. Seems like there is something for everyone as they ladder up their experience. I quite like the comment above about including Stripe as a way to collect subscriptions. I imagine that’s a great way to pass on costs to end users.
