Lots of Legacy ("Classic") upgrade concerns, and Maker 5x cost?

I have been a glide user for MANY years now. I am on a legacy plan at about $25 a month. I’m at the point that there are enough reasons to upgrade that now I’m considering it. However, I’m worried about the move since I will need to migrate my apps. I have a few questions before I ask about pricing:

  1. When I upgrade to a new plan, will my legacy apps still be there so I can begin migrating?
  2. Will my “cloud uploads” (like PDF files) from my Legacy apps still be live when I make that switch, or will I need to re-upload everything to my new account?

As for pricing, unfortunately I can’t find an easy way to talk to sales, so here I am. I’m upgrading two apps with 20/5 “public users” using personal email accounts like gmail. I expect my user count will grow. I don’t have many rows (<2,000 total).

I’d like the flexibility to create a few more apps, and it seems like the Maker plan would work well (especially with the unlimited users feature), and I’ve read about the 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x Maker plans but I can’t get any pricing. What’s the monthly / yearly cost of each?

The “Team” plan seems nice from the “unlimited apps” standpoint, but the low user limit (20 across all apps) and potential additional user cost worries me as I have no idea how many potential users I could eventually get.

Thank you for any help!

Your apps and files should remain intact. They will just fall within the limits of the new plan. I would probably recommend creating a new team folder under a new plan, and then transfer your apps, or at least feel out the new plan before getting rid of your old one forever.

The pricing is the price of the Maker plan multiplied by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x. There is no particular discount by upgrading to allow multiple published apps in a single Maker plan, but all additional apps will share the plan usage limits which are multiplied. For example, the Maker plan gives you 500 updates on its own. If you go the 2x route, you pay double the price, but both apps now have a shared 1000 update limit. So depending on your use case, upgrading to 2 or more published apps in the same Maker plan may provide a slight usage limit benefit compared to having each app in separate Maker plans. The overall price would be the same whether both apps are in the same plan or in separate plans.

The included users starts at 20. You can still allow additional users, but after the first 20, you would be paying additional per active monthly user after the first 20.

Thank you for the great reply! That’s really helpful! So, if I get the “Team” plan, and I have one email address that logs in to two or more apps, does that still count as one user, or will that count as multiple users?

It would only count as one user. Users are counted for the entire team. They are not counted per app in the team

If you had one user that only uses one app, another user that only uses a second app, and another user that uses both apps, that would only be 3 unique users.

Also, those user counts reset at the end of the billing month, so if a user does not use an any apps for a given month, they will not be counted. Only unique active users using any app within the team is counted.
