Glide

Glide lets non-developers build data-backed internal apps, such as project trackers, inventory tools, field data collection forms and client portals. You start from a spreadsheet, a file or a written prompt. Google Sheets, Glide's own Glide Tables, Airtable, Excel and, on higher tiers, SQL databases, Salesforce, HubSpot and BigQuery can all act as the backend. Apps run as progressive web apps that users can install on phones and desktops. Its newer AI product, GlideOS, generates apps and workflows from descriptions and lists more than 1,000 integrations, including Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion and Asana. Pricing is per workspace with a monthly credit allowance. The current pricing page shows Free ($0, drafts only, two team members), Basic ($25 a month, two published apps), Plus ($50 a month, five apps, three members), Pro (from $125 a month for five members, unlimited apps and workflows) and a custom Enterprise plan. All plans allow unlimited guest users. Extra credits are sold on paid plans only, and annual billing is listed as coming soon. Recent reviews still describe the older Classic plans (Explorer, Maker, Business), where Business costs $249 a month and work-email users beyond 30 are charged per user, with $0.02 per extra update. Glide works best for small and mid-sized operations teams that want a custom tracking app quickly. It is not a ready-made project management suite, so Gantt charts, time tracking and planning views have to be assembled by hand. Its main limitations are limited design control, no native app-store apps, no code export, and usage-based costs that reviewers find hard to predict.
