Will my app disappear if I cancel my paid plan

I created an app that I want to use for my own personal use and nothing else, and I did not use any paid features. I want to publish this app, download it on my phone, and use it forever, but I do not need to edit/update it at all, and I do not want to continue paying for the subscription. My question is if I cancel my paid subscription, will the app remain published and functioning on my phone, or will it stop working. I couldn’t find any info on this through the Glide site or any forums so I guess no one else does this and I am asking here now.

edit: i am aware that you “lose all paid features” when you cancel, but the actual ‘paid feature’ is the ability to publish, rather than the ability to use the app, but I don’t know if that includes ‘the ability to retain published status’. It doesn’t seem to be very clearly explained to me, hence my confusion

Your app will stop working.

If it were possible to do that, I would consider that a bug that Glide would probably squash pretty quickly. It’s like saying you want to subscribe to the internet, only pay for one month, but use it forever. You’re still using the internet provider’s bandwidth and hardware.

Glide apps live on the web and continually use server resources. They are nothing more than web pages, even when “installed”. “Installing” just adds a browser wrapper to your device that only opens one website, which is the website for your app. Your app and data still lives and syncs with Glide servers.
