01
Map your tables and rules
We record where each table lives, what your computed columns do, who can see what, and which automations run.

Outgrown Glide?
Keep the data. Rebuild the app.
Glide is a no-code platform, so there’s no conventional codebase to export. The good news is that your data is often the easy part, especially if it already lives in a spreadsheet or database you control.

WHAT MOVES
What comes with you,
and what gets rebuilt.
Where each table lives makes the biggest difference. Glide can run on its own tables or on connected sources such as Google Sheets, Airtable, Excel and SQL databases, depending on your plan.
Comes with you
EXPORTABLE- Glide Tables, exported to CSV from the Data Editor
- Big Tables, exported to a file Glide emails to you
- Data in connected sheets and databases, which is already outside Glide
- Your screens and actions, as the specification for the rebuild
Gets rebuilt
NO CODE EXPORT- Screens, layouts and actions
- Computed columns and the logic inside them
- User access rules
- Integrations and automations
THE GLIDE CATCH
Three things to
weigh first.
Many Glide apps are small, focused tools, which can make a rebuild simpler than it sounds. It still needs to earn its cost.
Exports skip some columns
Glide Tables exports leave out empty columns and computed columns that link to other tables. Those relationships are often where your business rules live, so we document them before exporting.
Is moving the right call?
If you’re hitting a limit, confirm a plan change or a different data source won’t fix it first. Glide’s spreadsheet-type sources are capped at 25,000 rows across a team, and Big Tables exist for higher scale.
Simple can stay simple
A Glide replacement doesn’t need a heavy architecture. We look for the simplest stack that does the job, so you don’t swap a platform limit for a system that’s hard to run.
THE PATH
How a Glide
rebuild usually runs.
This is how we expect a rebuild to run once we support this platform. You’ll see the findings and approve the scope and quote before paying anything.
02
Choose the simplest stack
We agree what the replacement needs to do and what can be left behind, on a host you choose.
03
Rebuild and bring the data in
Screens and logic are built in code you own, and your data is imported into a proper database and verified.
04
Switch your users over
We test the core workflows, take a final export, and move people across when you’re ready.
Can I export my Glide app’s code?
No, there’s no conventional codebase to export, so the screens and logic have to be rebuilt. Your data can be exported, and if it’s in a connected source, it’s already outside Glide.
Why doesn’t the $199 rate apply?
The $199 migration moves an app’s existing code and database. With Glide there’s no code to move, so the work is a rebuild, and that’s quoted once we’ve reviewed your app. See how pricing works.
My data is in Google Sheets. Does that help?
Yes, your records are already somewhere you control. We’d still review columns computed inside Glide, because that logic doesn’t live in your sheet, and we’d look at whether a real database should replace the spreadsheet.
Will the new app be able to do everything Glide does?
We agree what has to carry over during scoping, so you’ll know before paying. A custom build can go beyond what Glide offers, but you also take on hosting and maintenance. See third-party costs.
