Glide

What it is for

Glide is a hosted Reports Data Editor: you edit table rows, and Classic Free is $0. GlideOS (a separate Cloud) also prints Free $0 and Basic $25/month. Use it when the job is a data grid you start at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is Glide’s official Reports Data Editor (Viewing as John Davis, rows Audio System / Hyundai Kona Electric (2021+), Axle Assembly / Chevrolet Bolt EV, Battery Pack / Tesla Model 3, Brake Pads / Rivian R1S, Sort Name A→Z) from the Data Editor still on Introduction to the Data Editor — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of the Data Editor.

Key features

• Data Editor — the Reports grid you sort and edit (cover still; docs). One desk. Cover Audio System / Tesla Model 3 sit here. Filter / Sort / Hide / New row sit here as CTAs, not a sixth desk.
• Layout Editor — screens bound to the same tables (data-to-layout; official Introduction to Layout). A screen, not a Reports cell.
• Workflow Editor — automations when data changes (GlideOS pricing “enabled workflows”; official Data Triggers film). A workflow, not a row.
• Dashboard — the app list you open first (docs). An app, not a Reports row.
• Publishing & users — who can open a published app (Classic pricing personal vs business users). A publish setting, not a Data Editor cell.

New row / Sort / Filter on the cover are CTAs (not desks). Classic Free / Explorer / Maker and GlideOS Free / Basic tiles are the meter. Glide AI / Glide Agent / MCP are AI extras, not a sixth desk we fold into Reports.

Who it's for

Best fit: ops teams who will stay on Classic Free at $0 (10 personal users; Glide Table writes do not burn updates) while they open a first Reports grid, then Explorer at $19/month yearly when they need Workflows / one published app — or start GlideOS Free $0 / Basic $25 if they want the new agent platform.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai). Glide prints two Cloud catalogs. glideapps.com/pricing is GlideOS (page note: updated September 2026). classic/pricing plus the Nov 1 2025 plan article are Glide Classic. The cover Data Editor is Classic. Do not mix the two wallets.

• Basic — $25/month. 100 credits. 2 published apps. 1 workflow. 1 credit top-up / month.

Limitations / costs

• Classic Free has 0 paid updates and 10 personal users. A published app with Workflows is Explorer $19 yearly.
• GlideOS is a second bill. Classic apps do not move across; Basic is $25.

Alternatives

• Softr — an Applications home when you want Softr Free $0 / Basic $19, not Glide’s Audio System Reports row.
• Bubble — a Design tab when you want Bubble Free $0 / Starter $32, not Classic Explorer $19.
• Airtable — a pipeline grid when you want Airtable Free $0 / Team $20, not GlideOS Basic $25.
