Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Update overages cost $0.02 per update - apps with frequent data changes can rack up hundreds in monthly overage fees

2

Additional users on Business plan cost $5-6 per user per month, which adds up quickly for public apps

3

Private users (internal team members with edit access) may require higher tiers depending on your structure

4

Custom domains and white-labeling require Business plan minimum at $199/month

5

Advanced data sources beyond Glide Tables (SQL, APIs) are only available on paid plans starting at $25/month

6

Row limits can be restrictive - scaling beyond 100,000 rows requires Enterprise pricing

7

App publishing limits on lower tiers (1-3 apps) mean you'll need to upgrade or consolidate apps to stay within limits

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What hidden costs should I budget for with Glide?
