Glide pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Glide (glideapps.com) is a no-code app builder. Monthly plan tiers set by team-member seats, published-app count and AI credits; the pricing page shows no per-end-user fee.. Free plan: Free: $0/mo, 2 team members, 10 projects, 0 published apps (so it cannot publish a live app), limited credits..

What Glide costs

  • 1 builder, 100 users: $50/mo (Plus $50/mo (monthly; no annual price). Basic publishes personal and team apps only, so 100 public sign-ups need Plus public apps. 1 of 3 seats; 250 credits included, no overage added. Custom domain is not on the current page: Plus is priced on the assumption it can use one (a 2024 help article says any paid plan can), and if only Pro has one, launch is $125. End-user fees and the 5,000-record limit are not shown on the page, so none are added.)
  • 2 builders + 8 users: $175/mo (Pro, $125/mo for the 5-member minimum, plus $10 for each of the 5 extra members = $175 for 10 people. The page lists only team members, so under the rubric all 10 are priced as members (no separate end-user role is shown). The $10 extra-member rate comes from PricingSaaS (Aug 2026) and is no longer on Glide's page, so this is unconfirmed. If Glide has a free end-user role, the cost falls to Basic $25 (2 builders on 2 seats; one app with 3 data tables meets the app-count rule). The 10,000-record limit is not shown.)
  • 2 builders, 1,000 users: $50/mo (Plus $50/mo (monthly). 2 of 3 seats; 5 published apps including public apps; 250 credits included, no overage added. The 1,000 end users are not priced on the page (same as launch), and the 50,000-record limit is not shown, so no charge is added. Custom domain as in launch.)

Plan compared: Plus plan, $50/mo monthly: 1 of 3 team-member seats, 5 published apps including public apps, 250 credits.. Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for the vendor's hosted plan: one builder launching an app on their own domain or in the app stores for 100 signed-in users, a 10-person internal team (2 builders, 8 users), and 2 builders serving 1,000 users. Included usage allowances (workload units, updates, actions) are noted rather than normalized; app store developer fees and separately billed databases are not counted.

Pricing page: glideapps.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Official pricing page (monthly prices only; annual plans 'coming soon') with the PricingSaaS change log; PricingSaaS's Solo and Team names and its stale Business, Explorer and Maker prices were not used. Custom-domain availability is unresolved (a 2024 help article says any paid plan, the docs say some, the current page lists none), so launch assumes Plus has one; if only Pro does, launch is $125.
