Glide

Glide is a no-code company that currently runs two distinct products under one brand. Glide Classic is the original platform: you connect a spreadsheet, arrange records into screens, and publish a working internal app without code. GlideOS is a separate, newer product built around generating apps and agents from a prompt, spreadsheet, or uploaded file.

This is not a rebrand. Glide's own pricing page states that GlideOS is a standalone product, completely separate from Glide Classic, with its own plans and its own subscription. The homepage now leads with the tagline 'Turn spreadsheets into apps & agents' and promotes a 'bring your own agent' feature rather than positioning GlideOS as a replacement for Classic.

Glide Classic supports list, detail, form, dashboard and kanban-style screens, roles and row-level access, automation flows, and its own Glide Tables as a database, alongside external sources like Google Sheets, Airtable, Excel and SQL depending on plan. GlideOS is organized around credits, team members, published apps, projects and enabled workflows, and its top paid tier adds premium integrations and an MCP-based 'bring your own agent' option.

GlideOS is billed monthly only, with no annual option shown: Free is $0 (limited credits, 2 team members, 10 projects, cannot publish apps, no workflows), Basic is $25/month (100 credits, 2 members, 2 published apps, 1 workflow), Plus is $50/month (250 credits, 3 members, 5 published apps, 5 workflows, public apps), and Pro is $125/month (500 credits with 5 members, unlimited published apps and workflows, premium integrations, MCP agent support); Enterprise is custom. Glide Classic has a Free plan ($0, 1 editor, up to 25,000 rows, unlimited drafts) and a Business tier starting from $199 per month billed yearly (30 users included, extra users $5-6 each, 5,000 updates included with $0.02 per extra update, up to 100,000 rows, 10 editors, Sheets/Airtable/Excel sync, 14-day free trial); Classic Enterprise is custom with SSO and SQL sources.

The main limitations are structural: GlideOS and Glide Classic require separate subscriptions, so a team that wants both spreadsheet sync and AI agent features may need to pay for two products. GlideOS's free plan cannot publish apps at all, and Classic's free plan is capped at 25,000 rows with Glide Tables as the only built-in data source.

Glide fits teams that need internal tools such as inventory, CRM, field data collection or approval workflows built quickly, whether from a spreadsheet (Classic) or an AI-generated prototype (GlideOS). It is less suited to teams wanting a single unified product and subscription, or to large consumer-facing apps.
