What is Glide?
Spreadsheets into custom apps without code.
Who is Glide best for?
Glide is best for operations teams and small businesses that run on spreadsheets and want to turn them into apps.
Teams that live in spreadsheets
Upload a Google Sheet or Excel file and GlideOS reads its structure, relationships and logic to build the screens and workflows around it.
Internal tools and portals
Inventory trackers, work orders, CRMs, dashboards and customer portals run on the same data, so one update shows up in every app.
Staff in the field and the office
Apps work on desktop and mobile, so field teams and head office read and edit the same live records.
Builders without code
You can start from a written prompt, a PDF or a screenshot instead of a spreadsheet, and an AI agent builds the app.

Glide has a free GlideOS plan with limited credits, and its paid plans cost $25 a month for Basic, $50 for Plus or $125 for Pro, with more credits or members raising the price.

No. GlideOS is a separate Glide product with its own accounts, plans and billing. Glide Classic apps keep working as before, but they cannot share data with GlideOS and there is no migration tool, so moving to GlideOS means rebuilding your apps.
What do Glide credits pay for?
Glide credits stand for the AI tokens GlideOS spends building and running your apps. Each paid plan includes a set amount, from 100 on Basic, and you get more by raising the plan's credit level, moving up a plan or buying a top-up bundle.
