Glide transforms spreadsheet data into polished mobile and web apps with minimal setup. These alternatives cover the range from spreadsheet-native tools to full no-code app builders.
Each app below addresses a specific gap in Glide's offering. We picked them based on real user review patterns and feature differentiation.
AppSheet also builds apps from spreadsheet and database sources but supports more complex data relationships, offline sync, and workflow automation. It connects to Google Sheets, Excel, Salesforce, SQL, and more.
Explore AppSheet data →Softr creates web apps and client portals from Airtable or Google Sheets with user authentication, membership, and payment support. It is particularly strong for B2B portals, directories, and community tools.
Explore Softr data →Stacker turns Airtable, Google Sheets, or Salesforce data into internal portals with role-based access, forms, and dashboards. It targets operations teams who need a customer-facing or team-facing portal without engineering resources.
Explore Stacker data →Adalo builds true native iOS and Android apps with its own database, component library, and custom actions. It is more complex than Glide but supports richer interactions and publishes to app stores directly.
Explore Adalo data →Noloco generates internal app UIs from Airtable, Google Sheets, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or REST APIs. It supports role-based access, workflows, and forms — going well beyond Glide's spreadsheet-native approach.
Explore Noloco data →Tadabase is a no-code database application builder with a proper relational database engine, user roles, workflows, and dashboards. It is closer to FileMaker or Knack than to Glide — better for structured business apps with complex relationships.
Explore Tadabase data →Users looking for Glide alternatives often need more complex data models, offline support, or apps that go beyond read/write operations on a spreadsheet.
Glide has a free plan that covers personal projects with Glide branding. Business apps and white-labelling require a paid plan starting at $49/month.
Yes. Glide supports Airtable and its own native Glide Tables data source, so you do not need Google Sheets. However, the tool is conceptually built around a spreadsheet-style data model.
Glide has limited offline support. Data cached during an online session can be browsed offline, but full offline-first sync like AppSheet or dedicated mobile apps is not supported.
AppSheet for operations teams who need real offline sync and complex workflows. Softr for client portals from Airtable. Adalo if you need a proper native mobile app on the App Store or Play Store.
