The Free, Explorer, and Maker plans allow personal users only. A personal app user is a user that signs into a Glide app using a personal email domain, such as Gmail, or an education email domain, such as .edu.
Personal users are not the same as private or public app users. Glide apps can be public or private.
Up to ten personal app users are allowed on the Free plan. The Explorer plan can have up to 100 personal users. The Maker plan allows for an unlimited number of personal app users.
Members of a team on Free, Explorer, or Maker plans will still be able to log in to apps, regardless of their email domain.

If you need to allow app users with corporate or business email domains, a Business or Enterprise plan is required. Users can have any email domain on Business and Enterprise plans. You can try the Business plan for free with a Business Plan Free Trial.
Members of a team on Free, Explorer, or Maker plans who have corporate emails will still be able to log in to the team's apps.
General Principles of Personal Domains
In general, Glide considers the following types of email addresses personal.
Consumer email domains (e.g., Gmail)
School emails (e.g., a college email)
Non-profit email (e.g., a city food bank)
Community (e.g., a local pickleball club)
A personal website (e.g., your family's blog or a personal portfolio)
These determinations are approximate and if in doubt, Glide will assume a domain is not personal. Users with a Maker plan can request one domain per team to be considered personal, if needed.
