Glide Reviews & Product Details

Glide is the fastest, the most intuitive, and the most satisfying no-code app builder I've tested. It allowed me to transform my ideas into working MVPs and served as a great way to learn software development in a fast, engaging, and experimental way.

After 1,5 year of learning and building with Glide, I developed an ambitious MVP for my start-up idea that seems like an actual finished product, as well as a suite of custom business tools and AI agents to help me retain control over my growing organisation.

Not only that. The suite of tools I developed turned out to be in such a high demand that it lead me to starting a small agency, the revenue could fuel the growth of my main initiatives.

Glide is very easy to integrate with their great and constantly growing base of native integrations. This, combined with the ability to craft custom solutions quickly, makes anything built on Glide easy to implement in any business. The first implementation of a Glide CRM I build for a client took one week of development and 20 minutes of employee training. 20 minutes. And they went on to using it every day without skipping a record.

Customer support is outstanding, with Glide Experts additionally having access to a helpful community and the option to message with Glide team directly on Slack. For users who are not certified, the Glide Community Forums are a great source of expert advice, with Glide experts and enthusiasts helping each other out basically 24/7.

Thanks to Glide, I discovered a new skillset, or perhaps a talent, that transformed my life, and allowed me to see my dream initiatives come to life without risking huge capital or seeking funding.

Glide is a platform that will transform the way we work everywhere. If anyone uses clunky spreadsheets instead of Glide in 5 years' time, it's because of their retro spirit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glide is not a platform that will allow you to build scalable customer apps because of their pricing scheme, which, at the moment of writing this, stands at $5 per user when you exceed 50k rows of data. When you hit the limit and need to upgrade, you can also negotiate custom terms as an enterprise customer, which might reduce the costs, although the per-seat pricing scheme will still eat up a significant chunk of potential margin.

If you craft your MVP well, though, you can onboard 20k+ users (the cap for one data table is 25k), which should give you a solid revenue to move to a more flexible platform or build a custom solution if your idea was valid.

Another limitation is that you can't deploy your apps to App Store or Google Play. This is because Glide positions itself as a mainly internal business productivity platform. Glide is at it's best when used for these purposes, though if you want to validate your business idea and you don't mind the browser-only limitation, Glide will most likely get you to your MVP faster than anything.

The fact that the apps are only browser-based also means that you can't deploy apps that will work in the offline mode and then sync the data reliably when the user goes online. Most of the time, you would simply not be able to do anything except view existing records, that is, if they were saved in your browser memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glide has revolutionized how software is built -- it is extremely intuitive but allows for very complex functions. The tech support is top notch and the community page is incredible -- you always get a detailed answer to anything you're stuck with very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beware of the row limits in the tables that are not Big Tables. If you have something that will grow over a few years (e.g. a timestamp table that adds a row with each new entry), you have to be careful. And Big Tables currently has some limitations in a few key computed columns that can't be used.

Also - I think Glide is focusing too much on generative AI at the moment. Some of its core components reaaaally need some love (e.g. Calendar). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything! Glide is SUPER speedy, allowing you to bring clients ideas to life in days or even hours. It is so intuitive and has so super quick learnign curve for new users. Glide is a responsive and open organisation who listen to their expert community and have a clear mission.

I use Glide everyday as a FT Glide Dev I have created lots ideas into apps for many happy clients.

The growing number of integrations is making is unsuprassable in this quickly evolving space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there feels like a gap between the Maker and Business plan where some clients feel the jump is too much with a smaller 'included' user allowance. Offering a native wrapper for Apps to go to app store would be nice, but, in many cases not needed so can see why this is not a priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Such a easy to use interface and you can build complex apps in no time.

In the beginning I was using it for a MVP; but I slowly started to learn to appriciate it more and more.

It is my go to software.

I build my own CRM with it, my own client platform and many other usefull little apps.

And they are also all intergrated with eachother. The time savings that I can do with Glide is just beyond crazy.

It is already saving me money compared to other platform.

Also the community is reallly great and supporting. I haven't seen anything like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish their Enterprise pricing model would be a bit more transparent. So that I can plan for the future.

Ofcourse I also understand it needs custom care and measurements for it. So I understand they don't show any prices of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been a user since 2020. I initially came to Glide to use Google Sheets as the backbone. I've since changed to use their native Tables to rebuild my app this year. I'm a gym owner, personal trainer and manage remote clients as well. Using Glide, I built a system to manage new inquiries, prospects and transition them to coaching clients with unique programs. Super handy tool. Really easy to customize and make tweaks without having to hire someone. I initially found a great Glide Developer to get me started, then I was able to make updates quickly from there. I'll occastionally use him when I get stumped on different projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was an early adopter of the platform and they were kind enough to keep my original rate. At some point they updated to a new system and stopped making updates to the one I was on. My application speed degraded a ton, and all these bugs started popping up that they wouldn't fix. I was kinda forced to upgrade to the new system, but in the end it was way better. Significantly more expensive than I was originally paying but the speed and additional features made it worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to convert your google sheets, spreadsheets to friendly mobile and web application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited features to customise the design in maker/free plan. Only business plan provides you the option to use css. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glide is an amazing tool for building stuff quickly. It can build relatively complex apps, with a nice UI, and allows us to deploy quickly. We were able to build an MVP really quickly, and get users on to the product for immediate feedback, and immediately action that feedback.

Customer support are also very responsive, but there are many relatively simple features missing from glide which often mean they can't always help us - stuff like audit logs for data editing/creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Struggles to deal with the quantity of data we have. We're also a team of relatively experienced engineers so are sometimes hit with glide limitations rather than those of our imaginations.

The biggest limitation is lack of version control and inability for multiple people to work in the same apps at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After years of battling with other "no code" sites, I've found Glide to be everything I want. I adore the ease of creating an app, and the documentation for the Glide Sheets is genuinely so helpful (especially the videos).

I recommend Glide to everyone, especially for when you need to get a small scale app / site off the ground quickly and easily, especially with a small team. The login features are especially incredible, as I love being able to send invites so easily and not worrying about setting up a password / individual accounts.

I will keep coming back to Glide and use it for every project, and it has been consistently getting better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features I'm used to in other spreadsheet apps don't work as I expect them to, or aren't implemented. Also, sometimes importing Google / excel sheets (especially with photos) can be a bit of a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was searching for no code/low code platform for my business idea, that is user friendly and that I can connect to Airtaible. I have tested few no code/low code platforms before Glide. Glide is the solution! Glide is very intuitive to use (even for non dev) , clean and beautiful design. Glide has very helpful community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price. Team plan is 125$/month (paid monthly), and it is the cheapest that allows to use Airtable as a base. Team plan allows only 20 users, and each extra user is 4$/user, that is a shame. It is very complicated to develope an invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. User-specific columns with Google Spreadsheet.

2. Renaming custom actions, and making it reusable.

3. Introducing new components on a frequent basis, and using custom CSS to alter the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The current sync issue is something I dislike. I understand that new features might take time, so I hope for the best.

2. The loading time increased on apps having more components; any solution or suggestion would be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
