  Glide is priced by workspace plan, not by API call. Plans are tiered (Free,
  Explorer, Maker, Business, Enterprise) and gate published apps, number of
  users, included monthly Updates, and data scale (rows / Big Tables). An
  "Update" is the core consumption unit - data edits and syncs from external
  sources count against the plan's included Updates, with overage billed per
  additional Update. REST API access to Big Tables (get rows, query with SQL)
  requires a Business or Enterprise plan. Prices below reflect the pricing model
  effective November 1, 2025; annual billing saves roughly 20% versus monthly.
notes: >-
  Verify exact prices, included Updates, user counts, and row limits on the
  Glide pricing page during reconciliation; figures shift between annual and
  monthly billing and Glide periodically revises tiers.
