| Pricing | $85/month billed annually (Essential) · free tier: Free $0 — 1 workspace, 1 seat, 100,000 records, 1 GB DB SSD, watermarked images, REST APIs rate limited to 10 requests/20 seconds, U.S. region only, 24h audit logs, community support only | 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 |
| Pricing model | Subscription (tiered) with paid add-ons | Subscription with metered credits and per-seat scaling |
| Best for | Semi-technical teams and agencies that already have a front end and need a compliant, region-selectable managed backend that survives real traffic without hiring DevOps. | 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. |
| Avoid if | You want one tool that builds the whole app including the UI, you are a true no-code beginner, you are budget-capped below ~$85/month, or you need HIPAA without an extra $500/month. | 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. |

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.
