Hey folks , so I’ve been building schoolyyy.com using Glide since last year. Hoping to ramp up marketing and meeting with some local schools this year.
With the new pricing release , I’m wondering what option would suit best? Maker or Team?
Maker : Unlimited users from a school domain which makes sense but then limited amount of row updates
Team : Unlimited apps and higher row updates but limited user count.
With Maker I guess each school would need an individual account set up for them whereas Team could all be done under my own account? But then I would most likely need to pay more for additional users over the 20 limit.
I’ve no paying schools at the moment but with the eye on that changing this year , I wonder what option would suit best in the long term should things pick up.
Cheers.

Hi Emmett, what a nice app.
My 2 cents:
- As long as you use Glide Tables as your data source, all new plans include unlimited updates.
- All new plans offer 25’000 rows for spreadsheet tables (Glide Tables, Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable).
- Team & Business plans: For a teams and companies where the app in an internal B2B business app. The app supports the internal operations of the business, but the app is not the core business. A rather fixed number of seats is needed (limited to the size of a small or medium business for instance).
- Maker plan: For communities, founders, schools, B2C consumer projects. The app is the core part of the activity. In the case of B2C projects, the app has a shot at being the business should the app be successful. A rather high to very high number of users is possible (the size of communities).
Schoolyyy is an internal B2B app for educational institutions: Team plan
If Schoolyyy were used internally by an educational institution to help its limited number of teachers, then I would say Schoolyyy supports the business of the educational institution. It would then need a Team plan. There would be as many Team plans as institutions using your app, whether the teams were hosted in your account or the schools’.
Schoolyyy is B2C consumer app for a community of educators: Maker plan
If Schoolyyy however were to be used and paid for by individual educators, without them telling their employers, then I would say we are in the case of a founder and his B2C project. You could see Schoolyyy as your MVP or even your finalized app for your community of educators. You would then need one single Maker plan in your account.
This is how I would see it.
The question boils down to who you are selling to: a company (B2B, Team or Business) or an individual (B2C, Maker).

Dear Glide, here are my 2 cents.
I love your product! There is no doubt i will switch to a paid plan after launching my app and slowly scaling it. But disabling syncing with Airtable database in your early phase with your recent pricing restructure is like cutting of your legs while standing. Please bring this back and help small entrepreneurs build! Thank you!!
Cheers @nathanaelb
Yes pretty much all tables are Glide tables with exception to a payment Google sheets one but thats actually going to be removed.
I think I will approach it as B2B , going directly to the schools and hopefully signing those up as a client with however many teachers that are working there.
So for instance School A has 30 teachers.
My monthly cost here would be :
Team Plan : $99
First 20 Users included + 10 additional = $139 total
Both yearly subs as I would like to sign up a school on a yearly contract if at all possible.
So lets say for my second client. I could then add this “team” to my account free of charge but all users would then be charged at the 4$? Is that correct?
Alternatively , on the maker plan :
$49 per month / per client(school)
Unlimited users.
Which leaves the price comparison to between the number of additional users for a new client being more or less than the $49 to create a maker plan specific to each school/client.
Any thoughts here @NoCodeAndy @david
