At Noloco, our mission is to empower businesses to build custom applications with ease, without needing extensive coding skills. As part of the diverse ecosystem of no-code platforms, we recognize Glide as a notable contender, renowned for its AI-powered app-building capabilities.
This comparison aims to delve into the unique features of Noloco and Glide, helping you determine the best fit for your business needs.
Noloco excels in creating sophisticated internal tools, client portals, and comprehensive project management applications. With extensive data integration, Noloco supports a broad spectrum of databases like Airtable, SmartSuite, Google Sheets, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Noloco Tables, facilitating complex field types like formulas, addresses and lookups.
Noloco’s flexible user interface builder can be used to create powerful layouts including Kanban, Gantt charts, and customizable forms, tailored for varied data dashboard and reporting needs. Its robust workflow tool is a powerful workflow builder and it boasts advanced user roles & permissions management, catering to intricate operational workflows.
Glide offers a user-friendly mobile app builder focusing on visually appealing designs. With Glide you can build simple mobile apps for your team or field-workers. Similar to Noloco, Glide offers an integration with sources like Google Sheets, Excel, and Airtable, ensuring instant data updates across your apps.
Noloco's intuitive point-and-click interface is designed for users who seek a balance between ease of use and the ability to create advanced, functional apps.
Glide offers a no-code, straightforward approach, emphasising simple building blocks for app creation, ideal for those who need user-friendly design and simplicity.
Along with the integration possibilities via Zapier and Make.com, our platform features built-in collaboration tools like record comments, resulting in a faster app development process. Finally, Noloco offers custom branding, domain management, and robust database management features that include data import/export, data filtering, data relationships, and advanced record and field-level permissions.
To maximize the value of your data, it's crucial to use tools that allow you to visualize it effectively and achieve the best returns.
Both Glide and Noloco offer robust data visualization capabilities, making it easy to visualize data through various charts. Glide provides essential chart types such as bar, line, and radial charts, along with features for customizing data display and interactivity.
However, Noloco goes a step further by offering a broader range of chart options, including area, funnel and radar, as well as advanced features like pivot tables and stacked bar charts. Noloco's intuitive customization and dashboard creation tools allowing you to apply filters across multiple charts and configure visibility rules, making it a versatile solution for comprehensive data visualization.
When integrating , both Glide and Noloco provide essential connectivity, but Noloco offers more robust functionality. Glide's integration supports basic data syncing and field type transfers, with some limitations on updating fields, managing complex data views, and handling linked fields (i.e., relationships between tables). In contrast, Noloco not only syncs data in real-time but also supports a broader range of field types for full interaction within the app. This includes advanced features such as automatic table creation, comprehensive field type support, and superior management of linked fields, making Noloco a more powerful solution for businesses needing extensive Airtable integration capabilities.

This includes 4 team seats and 10 client seats, with options to add more as needed. You'll also get access to 5,000 rows and 2,500 synced rows, making it a scalable solution for businesses of different sizes.
Glide's pricing starts at $99 per month for 20 users, but it limits you to 5,000 updates and 25,000 rows per month. In contrast, Noloco has no limits on updates. Our pricing is based on the number of users and records, allowing you to edit your data infinitely.
On our higher plans, Noloco’s Business plan, priced at $255 per month, supports 150,000 rows in Noloco tables or 50,000 synced records.
