Maybe this is just semantics involving user type labeling, but Glide does differentiate “personal” from “business” users, as @TobyMacLeod mentioned, with personal being @gmail, @yahoo, etc., which are unlimited on lower plan “personal user” tiers and very limited on upper “business user” company tiers.
Softr started doing this several years ago as well, then shifted back to undifferentiated users across all plans, and now it looks like they are back to the same confusing model. I think the change is because they see the no-code app landscape changing with Airtable management about to change. Again, I think it’s because they want to prioritize “internal team” users at larger companies, who may become unhappy with Airtable depending on how it changes moving forward.
Seen these price strategies before with Softr, in attempts to better monetize their platform. I don’t blame them for doing it, as long as they follow through with what they tell their legacy users. Like improving and supporting legacy features that internal team users may not use (ex. Inbox block, Stripe integration,…). Or including ALL newly released features across corresponding plans when they make big changes to their feature set. Softr dropped the ball when they excluded their new database from legacy plans last year, until enough builders complained. They also forgot to mention last year that the “New” Softr’s drastically reduced style settings would be followed up this year with a requirement to use expensive AI for customization.
I think it’s important to call these things out, because in practice, changes for new Softr builders can have positive AND negative effects on the usefulness and value of features legacy builders depend on.
