Hi I’m making an app with about 75-85 people using for an event. The business plan has 30 users but Explorer has 100 personal users and I’m not sure what the difference is. The app will be used by external people and it’s meant to be just for the event. Which plan is right for me?
Personal users means anybody with a personal email address, such as gmail. Anybody with a business email would be rejected from signing in with the Explorer plan.
Thanks Jeff I don’t know what the breakdown between users with business versus personal emails. Is there any way I can just pay from extra business users if needed? I might need more than 30.
You would need a business plan if you expect anyone with a business email to use the app. You cannot add business users to any personal plan. Not a fan of that rule because it’s a highly inaccurate way to differentiate business and personal apps regardless of an individual user’s personal email preference, but it is what it is. Under the business plan, it would be $5 per user after the first 30.
Jeff/Experts:
Just to be clear: Maker and Enterprise now support nearly all the same features (CSS, yes; No API access, less data sources) with the big one being one allows ALL users (Enterprise) and the other is Personal users (Maker).
Differences in plans per ChatGPT, is it missing any significant Glide Classic features/functionality not available in Maker but with Enterprise?
- No Airtable/Excel data sources.
- Maker’s 50,000-row limit.
- No workflow/action using Call API.
- Don’t need to sign into the published prototype using a business-domain email address
