What makes Plasmic different?
Integrate with any data source
Glide restricts you to its supported data sources, but with Plasmic, you have the freedom to connect with more. Beyond the built-in connectors like Airtable, Google Sheets, and PostgreSQL, Plasmic also lets you connect to generic REST, GraphQL, or SQL endpoints. Plus, there are no row or row update limits.
Build high-quality apps
While Glide is great for building simple apps, Plasmic lets you build complex, multi-page applications at lightning speed. Use the visual interface to build with advanced state and interactions, and sprinkle code wherever needed. Build high-quality, modern React applications that you can genuinely take pride in.
Extend the platform
With Glide and other no-code platforms, you’re confined to the platform’s built-in capabilities. With Plasmic's open architecture, you can seamlessly integrate with any codebase or tech stack. Bring your own components, build new functionalities and tailor your app to meet any requirement.

Why you should switch from Glide to Plasmic
Searching for a no-code/low-code app builder that can keep pace with your vision? Try Plasmic. It integrates with your tech stack, lets you build simple to complex applications fast, and scales effortlessly alongside your business.
Build scalable apps, not tech debt
Glide's limitations can lead to workarounds that accrue technical debt when your needs exceed its offerings. In contrast, Plasmic integrates deeply with any tech stack or codebase. Build apps that can adapt and expand as needed by bringing you own data sources, components, auth, custom controls, design system, and more.
Create dynamic experiences
Craft dynamic, interactive experiences with advanced state management and interaction features. Unlike other no-code platforms, Plasmic gives you control over your application's state, allowing you to create rich, interactive experiences that react to your users' inputs and behavior in real-time.

Build forms, tables, and UI components that are configurable, and fully customize your apps to match your brand and unique needs. Use Plasmic's best-in-class Figma-to-code plugin, so you can go from design to app in record time.
Better pricing that scales
Grow your operations without limitations. Plasmic offers unlimited applications and a higher quota of private and public users across all tiers. Plus, there are no row limits or update restrictions for any data source you plug into.
