What is Glide?

Glide is a no-code platform that lets users quickly build mobile and web apps from data sources like Google Sheets, Excel, or Airtable—without writing any code. It automatically turns your spreadsheet data into a functional app with a clean user interface, and includes tools for filtering, searching, user login, and basic logic. Apps built with Glide can be shared as Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) or wrapped for native app publishing. It’s especially popular for internal tools, directories, CRMs, and lightweight business apps. Below are its key features:

Spreadsheet Integration: Build apps directly from Google Sheets, Excel, or Airtable
No-Code Editor: Drag-and-drop interface with customizable layouts and components
Data Sync: Real-time updates between your app and spreadsheet
User Authentication: Add sign-in, user roles, and access control
Responsive Design: Apps work on both desktop and mobile (PWA by default)
Templates: Library of ready-to-use templates for common use cases
Logic & Actions: Create simple automations and workflows without coding
App Sharing & Publishing: Share via link, QR code, or wrap as native app (with third-party help)

Is Glide worth registering and paying for?

Glide is worth paying for if you need to create lightweight business apps, internal tools, CRMs, or directory-style applications without hiring developers. Its ability to turn spreadsheets into fully functional apps—paired with real-time syncing, user management, and responsive design—makes it a great solution for small businesses, startups, and non-technical teams.

The free plan is excellent for basic use, but paid plans unlock advanced features like custom domains, more data sources, user roles, file storage, and API access. For businesses or teams needing reliable internal tools or client-facing apps with custom branding, the paid tiers offer solid value.
