Glide

Glide is a no-code app-building platform that lets anyone create custom mobile and web apps from data — spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Excel), Glide’s own tables, or databases — without writing code. You connect or create your data, and Glide turns it into a polished, interactive app with lists, forms, detail views, and actions, which you can share with your team or customers. It’s widely used to build internal tools, business apps, and lightweight workflows quickly, replacing spreadsheets-plus-email processes with real apps.

The platform emphasizes speed and AI-assisted building. A visual editor lets you design screens, add components, and configure actions and logic without code; data can come from Glide Tables, Google Sheets, or (on higher tiers) SQL databases and integrations; and AI features help generate apps and add intelligent functionality. Glide handles user access, roles, and updates, and supports publishing apps for internal or external use. Its focus on turning existing data into usable apps fast makes it popular for operations, small businesses, and teams building custom tools without developers.

Glide serves operations teams, small businesses, and makers building custom apps and internal tools without code. Pricing includes a Free plan (build in Glide Tables with up to 25,000 rows, but you can’t publish/share), an Explorer plan around $19/month, a Maker plan around $49/month (needed to sync Google Sheets), and a Business plan around $199/month (30 users, unlimited apps, more updates), with custom Enterprise (SQL databases and premium integrations like Salesforce). It competes with Softr, Bubble, Retool, and Airtable, differentiating on building apps fast from spreadsheets/data with AI.
