Glide CRM

Glide CRM refers to CRM applications created with Glide, rather than a separate standalone CRM product with one fixed feature set. Glide is a no-code platform for building responsive business apps from spreadsheets, databases or Glide Tables.

Its CRM templates support common sales workflows, including organizations, employees, leads, follow-up dates, status tracking, comments, dashboards and sales reporting. Teams can customize screens, data structures, branding, permissions and integrations.

The approach suits organizations that need a tailored CRM or an internal sales tool. It may require more configuration than dedicated CRM products with standardized automation, reporting and customer-facing functionality.

Glide CRM can organize contacts, organizations, leads and sales records in configurable tables. CRM templates may include follow-up dates, lead statuses, comments, role-based views and performance reporting.

Glide’s builder supports forms, computed columns, relationships, filters, custom actions, workflows, dashboards and responsive layouts. Glide AI can generate, summarize or transform data when enabled on an eligible plan.

Supported data sources include Glide Tables, Glide Big Tables, Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable, BigQuery, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Google Cloud SQL. Higher-tier plans add additional enterprise data connections.

Available integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Stripe, Twilio, Zapier, Make, OpenAI and Google Gemini. Availability can vary by plan and integration.

Glide pricing applies to the platform used to build and publish a CRM app. The CRM, Lead and Sales Manager template listed in Glide’s Template Gallery costs $99.99 as a separate template purchase.

The Free plan costs $0 per month and supports basic app building with one editor and up to 25,000 rows. The Explorer plan costs $19 per month when billed annually or $25 monthly. The Maker plan costs $49 per month when billed annually or $60 monthly.

The Business plan costs $199 per month with annual billing or $249 monthly. It includes 30 business users, 5,000 updates, workflows, Call API and Glide API access. Enterprise pricing is custom and adds expanded data sources, SSO, dedicated account management and higher limits.

Glide advertises a 14-day trial of Business features. The CRM template can be copied into a free Glide account, but publishing and platform usage remain subject to Glide plan limits.
