Hi, i’m looking for tools to build room reservation app serving limited user and found glideapp

I just wonder if i use Private pro plan and Limit access by email function,  
each email account and signing users will be counted as “private user”(which is, charged)

for example, if i have 3 admin user (who manages resources such as room, reservation hour) and  
100 account of email list for Limit access email (and i don’t know how many users will sign-in but sure exceed 20)  
then how much does glideapp charge?

With the Private Pro plan, Glide charges a base $40. That base price includes 20 unique users that access the app in a given month. If the number of unique users that access the app in a given month exceeds 20 users, then you will be charged per additional user after the first 20 users.

Again, this is a count of users that actually use the app. Not the total amount of users that you have granted access to use the app.

Thanks for explanation.

Just to clarify my understanding,  
if my private pro app have 3 admin user and 30 user(from access limit list have 100 emails) sign-in, then active user calculated to 33, And monthly charge will be calculated as 40 + 2 \*(33-20),  
Am i correct?

So… If I want to limit access by password, am I charged by how many times the password is used or email address?

I’m not entirely sure how private pro pricing works with the password option. I know it allows unlimited devices to access the app at the same time (unlike the free plan which only allows one device at a time with the password option), but I’m not sure if it’s priced per the number of users or if it’s a flat price. You may want to confirm that with glide support to be sure.
