How much does a Glide to code migration cost?

It depends on the size of your app — most rebuilds land in the range of a 4–10 week build. The free migration assessment gives you a fixed quote before any work starts, with no obligation either way.

Can you put my app in the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We build app-store-ready native iOS and Android versions alongside the web app — real listings, push notifications, and in-app purchases if you need them. That's a step a Glide app can't take on its own.

What happens to my data in Google Sheets or Glide Tables?

We migrate it into a real database — Supabase or Firebase — with verification passes along the way. Your sheets stay untouched until you've signed off on the new app, so there's always a fallback.

Does my app go offline during the migration?

No. Your Glide app stays live while we build. We run the new version in parallel, migrate and verify your data, and only cut over when everything checks out.

Will you tell me if I should just stay on Glide?

Yes — and sometimes we do. Internal tools with a handful of users are often exactly where Glide shines, and if that's your app the assessment will say so, for free. It's customer-facing and scaling apps that usually need to move.

Let's build you a real native app.

Glide is a great way to start — but per-user pricing, row limits, and no app store catch up fast. We rebuild Glide apps as production-grade code with a real database you own, in weeks.

Sound familiar?

PER-USER PRICING ADDS UP

Every user you add raises the bill, so the pricing punishes the exact thing you're trying to do: grow. Customer-facing apps make the math even worse.

Per-seat pricing is the #1 reason Glide builders call us

ROW LIMITS ON YOUR DATA

Your data layer is a spreadsheet with a ceiling. Row caps, update quotas, and sync delays turn every growth milestone into a plan upgrade.

A real database doesn't count your rows

NO TRUE APP STORE PRESENCE

Your app lives at a link, not in the App Store. No listing, no reviews, no in-app purchases — and your customers notice the difference.

Real native builds ship to the App Store and Google Play

SLOW WITH REAL DATA

Demos with fifty rows fly. Thousands of rows across synced sheets crawl — and there's no query left to optimize, because you never get to write one.

Search, filters, and dashboards are where Glide apps hit the wall

CUSTOM LOGIC RUNS OUT

Computed columns and actions only stretch so far. The feature your users keep asking for doesn't exist as a component — and it isn't coming.

In code, anything you can spec can be built

YOU DON'T OWN THE STACK

The runtime is rented, and your data lives in sheets and tables you can only export. When an investor or buyer asks who owns the product, that's a hard answer.

A codebase in your own repo settles the ownership question

Sometimes the answer is: stay on Glide.

We're not here to talk you out of Glide. For internal tools with a handful of users, it's genuinely hard to beat — and if that's your app, staying put is usually the right call. But when your app is customer-facing, your team is growing, or your data has outgrown a spreadsheet, you deserve a rebuild run by people who ship production apps every week. That's the assessment we give you, straight, for free.

What running your app actually costs

	Staying on Glide	After migrating to code
Platform / hosting	Per-user and per-app plans that climb as your team and usage grow	Firebase or Supabase, typically $25–$100 per month
Usage overage	Row limits and update quotas tied to your plan tier	A real database that handles millions of rows without a plan upgrade
New features	Gated by plan tiers and the components the platform offers	Anything you can spec, your team or any developer can build
Ownership	The platform owns the runtime — your data lives in sheets you export	Your repo, your database, your infrastructure

Ranges reflect typical small-to-mid apps; your free assessment includes numbers for your actual app and traffic.

How the migration works

FREE MIGRATION ASSESSMENT

We look at your Glide app, your per-user spend, and where it hurts — then give you a straight verdict: stay on Glide, or rebuild as a real app — with a fixed quote and timeline either way.

If staying is the right call, we'll tell you. For free.

MAP THE APP

We document your screens, computed columns, actions, and integrations — and untangle the data model buried in your sheets and Glide Tables. Nothing gets lost in translation.

Your spreadsheet becomes a real, documented data model

REBUILD IN REAL CODE

Senior developers rebuild your app as production-grade React + TypeScript on Supabase or Firebase — with native iOS and Android builds if you want the app stores. Weeks, not months.

Same features your users know — minus the ceilings

RUN IN PARALLEL

Your Glide app keeps running while we migrate your data out of sheets and into a real database, verifying the new build against it. You test everything before anything changes for users.

Zero downtime, zero leap of faith

CUT OVER CLEAN

We flip DNS, submit the app-store builds if you chose them, hand you the GitHub repo, and stay on for post-launch support. You own every line from day one.

Your app, your code, your infrastructure

What you get

A CODEBASE YOU OWN

A GitHub repo in your name — standard React + TypeScript any developer in the world can pick up, plus optional app-store-ready native builds. No vendor lock-in, ever again.

React + TypeScript / Supabase or Firebase / Your repo, your infrastructure

A REAL DATABASE, FIXED PRICE

Your data moves out of Google Sheets and Glide Tables into Supabase or Firebase — migrated and verified — at a fixed quote you approve before we write a line.

No hourly meter, no per-user math — one price, agreed up front

A US-BASED SENIOR TEAM

Senior US-based engineers design, build, review, and ship your app — the same people end to end, with support after launch.
