I have no tech experience so it's hard to pick up

Honestly, I can't believe Glide is free. It's true that the free accounts are limited, but for making hobby apps and learning how to use the software, it was very practical and was not limiting at all. I made several apps that were personally useful to me. And it's not until I was confident enough to start making apps for work (I work in education) and play (I volunteer for a non-profit tennis league) that I hit the limitations of the free account because of the number of users and edits using the app every month. I have a rudimentary knowledge of programming and am proficient at spreadsheets, but glide allows me to do things that I would never be able to program on my own and it is very intuitive. Coded spreadsheets that were cumbersome to use and had low capabilities due to my limited programming knowledge, are now apps that are streamlined, used from my phone, and blow people's minds. It's like what Dreamweaver was for websites, but better. I only wish the apps would work offline... and that toggle switches/boolean column edits wouldn't count toward the monthly edit count. The customer service is excellent with very short response times and I find the basic plan is good value, but the next higher plan is a big jump, especially if you are doing non-profit work. As a Canadian, I also wish the invoice would state that the price paid is in American currency. It would make my life much easier if they would put USD $25 instead of just $25.

The idea is good. After a while you can use it well. The new actions and workflows are impeccable. Only the price is just abnormally high. I can't pay for 250 euros just because I want to write to a spreadsheet via API. For example, I only have 3 customers who would use an APP, but they pay a maximum of 5-10 euros a month, as is customary in the area - including hosting and much more. If I use Glide, I can never earn. 10 euros only for whitelabel, elsewhere I host 3 sites for the money incl. whitelabel.

Easy to set up and quick to launch. In a short time, I managed to have project and sales information available to the entire team, wherever the team was located.

Average platform, misguided subscriptions which lack visibility to the delivery of thier own proposed feature readmap. Customer service is average, Bubble.io is better value for money and actual use of integrations like Stripe etc.

So far great experience. Building an app withing a few weeks, which would otherwise have taken me months. Will see how it scales.

Glide lets me build high quality applications quickly that look great on many form factors. My clients are impressed with how fast I can provide real value for them.

Amazing tool for no-code users like myself to create custom tools for our specific needs. Glide is continually improving the tools and experience for users. Design customizations are a bit limited which means a lot of apps look the same, difficult to make them stand out. Online resources and community tools are a bit lacking and not current, had a hard time finding solutions to the design challenges I've encountered.
