| Pricing | From $25/mo (Solo) · free tier: Free $0/mo — 1 project, 1 app, 100 MB storage, 2 team members, limited credits, public access, no database included | Reported at $29/month (web only), $42 with mobile, $59 for both — SECOND-HAND, sources disagree on which track $59 sits in; vendor pricing page not retrieved · free tier: Free plan at $0 reported for learning/prototyping only — cannot publish a live app on a custom domain; one source cites 50k workload units and 1 editor (SECOND-HAND, unverified) |
| Pricing model | Subscription with metered credits and per-seat scaling | Subscription plus usage-based metering (workload units) |
| Best for | Operations, supply-chain or field-service teams of roughly 5–50 people whose source of truth is already a spreadsheet and who need internal apps used by named employees inside Glide's hosting. | Founders and small teams building a genuinely complex, data-heavy product — marketplace, two-sided platform or SaaS with real permissions and backend logic — who can absorb a months-long learning curve, will model workload-unit consumption before committing, and accept platform lock-in. |
| Avoid if | You are shipping a consumer App Store/Play Store app, need source-code export or complex multi-step conditional logic, require SSO below Enterprise pricing, or need a firm total cost before signing. | You are a first-time builder needing to ship in weeks, need a predictable fixed bill that does not scale with your own traffic, need to own or port your source code, or are a design-led team requiring fine-grained CSS control. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
