  • $9/month for 10,000 operations per month
  • $29/month - $299/month for additional operations and data transfer limits

Benefits

Glide benefits

  • Simple/magical app building experience
  • Build using a Google Sheet, so it’s easy to pick up
  • Constantly improving the product
  • Active community
  • Can build just about any type of app
  • Strong security features

Make (formerly Integromat) benefits

  • Run automations to connect thousands of apps
  • Can easily run apps on a trigger or as one-time workflows
  • Visual editor
  • Can create very complex workflows
  • Can make API calls
  • Build error handling into workflows
  • More affordable than Zapier

Drawbacks

Glide drawbacks

  • Progressive web app only (can’t be downloaded in app store)
  • Can’t offer in-app purchases
  • Somewhat limited in design
  • No push notifications (can get around this with Zapier for email/texts)

Make (formerly Integromat) drawbacks

  • Higher learning curve than Zapier
  • Less app integrations than Zapier

What you can build

Glide use-cases

  • MVP versions of mobile and web apps like Tinder and Zillow
  • Apps with user accounts and complex logic

Make (formerly Integromat) use-cases

  • Automations that connect different apps together
  • Complex workflows with API calls and error handling

What you can't build

What you can't build with Glide

  • Publish your app to the app store (check out Adalo)
  • Apps that require connection to an API

What you can't build with Make (formerly Integromat)

  • May not be able to connect to the tool you need (Zapier has more connections)

Overall Recommendation

Glide recommendation

Glide is best for building MVPs for your business, or for building internal apps.

You can create user accounts, store and display data from a database, and build complex logic. You can build apps like Tinder, Zillow, Headspace and more using Glide.

For more apps that need to be in an app store or connect with APIs I'd use Adalo.

If you want to build a web app with that scales better and has API access, I'd recommend Bubble.

In all other cases, I love Glide and think it's a great option for your no-code app.

Make (formerly Integromat) recommendation

Make's biggest competitor is Zapier, and vice-versa. Both are great tools, and I use both depending on the use-case.

I find Zapier easier to use, so for simple automations I tend to use Zapier.

Zapier also has more integrations, so I'll use Zapier if the app I'm looking for isn't integrated with Make.

In general, Make is more powerful and less expensive, so I recommend people start with Zapier, and move over to Make when they are ready for something more powerful but with a higher learning curve.
