Glide review

Glide earns its place for one job: turning the spreadsheets a business already runs on into apps. GlideOS, the new AI platform, uses a system called SheetSense to read every sheet, including formulas, lookups and notes, then its agent builds a working app for desktop and phone. You can also start from a prompt, a PDF or a screenshot, and outside agents such as Claude and ChatGPT can build into the same apps over MCP. Apps stay private to your company by default, and each user sees the views and actions their role allows. Basic is $25 a month with 100 credits, while Pro at $125 a month starts at 5 members and unlocks unlimited published apps and workflows. It ranks last here because it is aimed at internal tools rather than customer-facing products: public apps need Plus at $50, Basic allows only 2 published apps, and existing Glide Classic apps cannot be migrated.
