Pricing and conditions
Documented terms

Pricing source read:
Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Glide's hosted platform is proprietary; building an app does not grant its service code, model weights or a self-hosting license. Retain input and end-user permissions. Classic's AI-data document describes configuration training, Free opt-in by default and admin opt-out, excluding app content. The current legal page defaults to a GlideOS-linked text with broader content/configuration training terms and a limited opt-out; confirm the applicable product contract. Ownership of your content is separate from platform rights, training and third-party services. No blanket no-training or zero-retention promise is made.

Overview
This entry focuses on Glide Classic: a hosted app builder using tables, interface components and actions. External read/write sources can synchronize in both directions, with source eligibility and update charges depending on plan. Spreadsheet macros and interface features do not automatically transfer. Use Row Owners for sensitive rows; hiding an interface component is not a data-access rule.
The main Glide pricing page now sells GlideOS, which the vendor explicitly calls a separate product with separate subscriptions. Classic has its own pricing page. Choose the product before comparing quotas or privacy promises. Consider Classic for reviewed operational apps with maintained data and permissions; no app, sync or security behavior was tested.
