Glide

Overview

Glide turns data in Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable and other sources into apps for desktop and phone, with a focus on internal operations such as field data collection, inventory and team dashboards^[3]. Its AI features include SheetSense, which reads spreadsheets including formulas and notes, an agent that builds apps from data, “Ask Glide” for questions on live data, and MCP connections for external agents such as Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT^[3]. The company says teams at more than 100,000 businesses use it^[3].

Glide prices by plan with unlimited guests on every tier^[2]. Basic costs US$25 per month with 100 credits, two team members and two published apps; Plus US$50 with 250 credits, three members and five apps; Pro US$125 with 500 credits, five members and unlimited published apps; Enterprise is custom^[2]. The Free plan allows two members and ten projects but no published apps^[2]. Annual plans were listed as “coming soon”^[2].

Glide is easier to learn than Bubble but less suited to complex consumer products, and its pricing page does not describe native app store publishing^[2].
