The short version

  • Only Glide has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Caspio data record limits are hard caps (1.25 million on Team, 4 million on Business), so a fast-growing dataset can force an upgrade even with the same small internal team using it.; Glide free plan is capped at 1 project and limited AI credits
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Caspio

  • Data record limits are hard caps (1.25 million on Team, 4 million on Business), so a fast-growing dataset can force an upgrade even with the same small internal team using it.
  • DataPage counts (100 on Team, 200 on Business) limit how many distinct app components can be built, which becomes a real constraint for an organisation running many small, separate apps rather than a few large ones.
  • The HIPAA compliance add-on costs 500 US dollars a month on top of the base plan with a one-year minimum term, a meaningful additional commitment for healthcare-adjacent buyers.
  • Its unlimited-user model is only cheaper than per-seat competitors when the user count is genuinely high relative to data volume; a small team with heavy data needs may find a per-seat platform cheaper.
  • The visual builder and DataPages approach is less suited to complex multi-step business process automation than platforms built around workflow engines, such as Appian or Mendix.

Glide

  • Free plan is capped at 1 project and limited AI credits
  • Team plan starts at a 5 member minimum, priced from $125 per month, with only 50 credits included per member
