About Transform Google Sheets, Excel, or Airtable into software your users will love. Pick a spreadsheet and Glide instantly generates a real, working app or website to get you started. There's an app for everything. Browse our template store and make a copy to get started. Most of your app is based on the data you already have, whether it lives in Airtable, Excel, Google Sheets, or other data sources. After connecting your data, add rich visual components to display your data and make it interactive. Glide makes updating your app as easy as editing a document, changes instantly go live for your users, so you can iterate quickly. Connect a Google Sheet or start from a template. Customize how your data is displayed, then tweak styles & layouts. Publish your app to the web and share the link with anyone. Pick a spreadsheet or Airtable base, and Glide generates a basic app or website to get you started.		About Securely deploy vibe-coded apps in one governed platform. Build in Retool, import from tools like Claude Code, Replit, or Lovable, or connect via MCP. However your team builds, every app ships safely, with governance built in. People across your organization are already vibe-coding internal tools with no SSO, no RBAC, no audit logs, and no connection to your existing data controls. Retool is where secure vibe coding happens by default. Build from scratch, import an app from another AI builder, or connect an agent via MCP — governance lives in the platform, not in each individual app.
		Why Retool is Better than Glide Retool is better than Glide for technical teams building highly customized applications on complex enterprise data. Glide makes no-code business app creation accessible and is particularly convenient for turning spreadsheets and databases into polished portals, dashboards, and mobile-friendly tools. Retool offers deeper developer control, more flexible logic, direct API and database work, workflow orchestration, and broader deployment choices. It is better suited to applications that must support unusual processes, advanced integrations, or evolving operational requirements. See more
