I have a client portal and an admin portal. Both us the same Excel sheet. This is what I see under my row usage stats: [Screen Shot 2022-07-11 at 7.51.00 am] Is this expected? Since both apps are updating the some datasource I assumed that the rows would only be counted as usage for one app.

Each app will have different row usage depending on what is used within the app. [image] 500 Row Limit - What Counts? FAQ We count all of the rows used in your app. We count none of the rows not used in your app.

Thanks, I understand what you’re saying. Are you able to define what “used within the app” means? Examples: I add a purchase in app 1. I guess that counts in app 1. I view that same data when I log into app 2 (admin portal). If I edit that data does it then count in app 2 as well?

There really is no problem here, because Glide counts row usage limits PER Project (App or Pages), and not PER TEAM as seen in this little screen snippet: [image] So you really only have to be concerned with the UPDATES – which are shared between all Projects in the Team.

Yes that all makes sense. The context of my original question was when rows are “double counted” when two apps use the same data source. I think someone answered it in terms of app 1 or 2 referencing a table in which case all that table’s rows count towards that app. Thanks for your reply.

What if I have a tab in my sheet with 5001 rows that I never reference (who knows why?) then would none of those rows count as used?

If that sheet tab is not used by your app in ANY way, then no, it will not be counted towards your row quota.

Makes sense thanks :blush: Perhaps the pricing page could make this clearer? Initially it looks like the rows in your sheet are what are counted. It is more nuanced that that so could be made clearer. “Used” is hard to explain if you haven’t built in Glide before.
