Glide pricing ranges from a testing-only Free plan to Basic at $25 per month, Plus at $50 per month, Pro at $125 per month and custom-priced Enterprise service. The main buying factors are whether you need to publish, how many team members build the apps, the number of apps and workflows required, credit consumption, and whether your project needs an Enterprise-only SQL connection.
Glide pricing at a glance
For readers checking Glide pricing 2026, the following USD prices and allowances were verified on October 14, 2026. The pricing page displayed monthly prices, but United States applicability and annual billing terms were not confirmed. The table therefore preserves the stated monthly billing basis rather than estimating annual rates or savings.
| Plan | Price | Included capacity | Practical fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 per month | Limited credits, 2 team members, 10 projects, 0 published apps | Building and testing unpublished projects |
| Basic | $25 per month | 100 credits, 2 team members, 2 published apps, 1 enabled workflow | A small live app setup with limited automation |
| Plus | $50 per month | 250 credits, 3 team members, 5 published apps, 5 enabled workflows | Several published apps or workflows managed by a small team |
| Pro | $125 per month | 500 base credits; team size starts at 5 members and includes 50 credits per member | A larger app-building team that needs more credit capacity |
| Enterprise | Custom pricing through sales | Custom team size; SQL data-source connections are available at this level | Organizations requiring SQL connectivity or a custom agreement |
A credit is a Glide-specific usage allowance. It should not be treated as equivalent to a user, workflow run, update or third-party API request. Because the applicable debit rules are not defined by the plan figures above, estimate the activities your app will perform and confirm how those actions consume credits before choosing capacity.
What the Glide pricing plans include
The most important dividing line is publishing. Free supports project creation and testing, but its allowance of zero published apps means it cannot deliver a live tool to employees, customers or partners. Basic is the lowest documented paid option and permits two published apps.
Free for unpublished testing
Free is appropriate for learning the builder, arranging data and interfaces, and testing whether Glide suits a project. It includes two team members and up to 10 projects, but those project slots should not be confused with deployable applications. If another person must use the app through a published link, plan for a paid subscription.
Basic for a small live deployment
Basic costs $25 per month and includes 100 credits, two team members, two published apps and one enabled workflow. It is the clearest starting point for one or two focused business tools when the builder count and automation requirement are both small.
The single enabled workflow is likely to become the practical constraint before the two-app allowance if a project needs several separate automated processes. Map each required workflow before subscribing rather than counting screens or forms as a proxy for automation demand.
Plus for more apps and workflows
Plus costs $50 per month. It raises the stated capacity to 250 credits, three team members, five published apps and five enabled workflows. Compared with Basic, the extra $25 per month buys 150 more credits, one additional team member, three additional published apps and four additional enabled workflows.
This plan is a better fit when several departmental tools must remain live or when an app depends on multiple distinct workflows. It also provides more room for a third builder or administrator without moving immediately to a larger team plan.
Pro for a larger building team
Pro starts at $125 per month with five team members. It includes 500 base credits and 50 credits per member. The plan details do not establish how additional members affect the subscription price, so a team exceeding the starting size should confirm its applicable total before purchase.
Choose Pro based on the need for its larger starting team and credit capacity, not simply because an app will have many end users. Team members are collaborators who build or administer work in Glide; they are not the same as the people who access a published application.
Enterprise for SQL and custom requirements
Enterprise uses custom pricing and team sizing through sales. It is the relevant tier when an app must connect directly to a supported SQL data source. Supported SQL options listed for Glide include MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and Google Cloud SQL, but the exact database, authentication and synchronization requirements should be validated with representative data.
Other data-source options across Glide include Glide-hosted data, Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable and BigQuery, subject to plan requirements. The presence of a supported source does not mean every connector is included in every paid plan.
How Glide billing and limits work
Basic, Plus and Pro are listed as monthly subscriptions in USD. Enterprise is individually priced. Annual billing conditions, renewal terms and annual discounts are not established by these figures, so the monthly amounts should not be described as annual-billed equivalents.
Glide plans measure several different kinds of capacity:
- Team members are the people collaborating in the app-building team.
- Projects are app projects in the workspace.
- Published apps are projects released for people to access.
- Enabled workflows are workflows active within the applicable allowance.
- Credits are a separate Glide usage allowance and are not interchangeable with the other units.
These distinctions matter when forecasting cost. For example, a hypothetical team with two builders, three live apps and four required workflows would exceed Basic’s allowances for published apps and workflows. Plus would match those stated requirements because it includes three team members, five published apps and five enabled workflows. Credit demand would still need a separate estimate.
Glide’s subscription is also not necessarily the app’s total operating cost. Connected APIs, databases and other services can impose their own subscription, request, storage or transfer charges. Keep those expenses separate from Glide credits when preparing a budget.
Which Glide pricing plan fits your app
The right Glide pricing choice follows from the app’s release status, builder count, workflow design and data source. Use the following decision rules rather than selecting only by headline price.
- Choose Free for a personal prototype when you need to model data, build screens and assess feasibility without publishing. It is not a free production tier.
- Choose Basic for a small internal tool when two team members, two published apps, one enabled workflow and 100 credits cover the planned deployment.
- Choose Plus for several tools or automations when you need up to five published apps, five enabled workflows, three team members or the larger 250-credit allowance.
- Consider Pro for a larger app team when five starting team members and 500 base credits align with your operating model. Confirm costs for any team growth beyond the starting size.
- Discuss Enterprise for SQL-backed or custom organizational deployments because supported SQL connections are reserved for this tier and its commercial terms are customized.
A client-facing portal does not automatically require Enterprise. Its plan fit depends on the required data source, publishing allowance, workflows, credits, permissions and audience capacity. Regardless of tier, define roles and record-level access carefully. Merely hiding an interface component is not the same as securing the underlying data.
Deployment format can rule Glide out independently of price. Published Glide apps are browser-delivered Progressive Web Apps. They can be shared by link or installed through supported browser capabilities, but Glide does not officially support direct publication to Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
Before choosing a Glide plan
Write down the following requirements before paying for a subscription:
- Count the people who will build and administer apps separately from the people who will use them.
- Identify how many projects must be published at the same time.
- Map each required workflow and compare the total with the plan allowance.
- Estimate credit-consuming activity using the applicable Glide credit rules.
- Confirm that the required spreadsheet, hosted data service or database is supported on the intended plan.
- Test roles, row-level ownership and protected data with accounts representing each audience.
- Confirm that browser-based PWA delivery is acceptable instead of native app-store publication.
- Add any database, API, automation and external-service fees to the operating budget.
Start with Free if you can validate the data model and hardest requirement without publishing. Once the proof of concept works, select the lowest paid tier whose team-member, published-app, workflow, credit and data-source allowances cover normal usage with reasonable headroom.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glide pricing plans
Does Glide have a free plan?
Yes. Glide Free costs $0 per month and includes limited credits, two team members and up to 10 projects. It is restricted to testing, however, and allows zero published apps. You need a paid plan to publish an app for use outside the builder.
Does annual billing reduce Glide pricing?
The verified pricing information lists USD monthly prices for Basic, Plus and Pro, but does not establish annual billing terms or savings. Do not convert these figures into annual-billed monthly equivalents. If you prefer an annual commitment, confirm the applicable rate and payment schedule before subscribing.
Are team members the same as people who use my Glide app?
No. Team members are collaborators involved in the Glide team or app-building environment, while app users are the people who access the published application. Do not use the included team-member count as an estimate of audience capacity; confirm the relevant user allowance for your deployment.
Can I publish a Glide app to the Apple App Store or Google Play?
Glide publishes Progressive Web Apps that people can open through a browser link and install using supported browser capabilities. Glide does not officially support direct publication to Apple’s App Store or Google Play, so it is unsuitable when native-store distribution is mandatory.
Can connected services add costs beyond the Glide subscription?
Yes. A Glide subscription covers the applicable Glide plan, not necessarily every connected database, API or external service. Providers may charge separately for API requests, storage, data transfer, automation or user access. Include those costs when estimating the app’s total operating expense.
