Making Apps Easy

Traditionally, cloud web services have just been too damn hard to get started with, from figuring out exactly which services you need, to trying to guess how much all of those complicated pieces are going to cost. But just like Glitch simplified version control and coding collaboration and app deployment, we’re simplifying the ability to run real, reliable apps in the cloud.

There’s no provisioning, no cost calculator, no “call us for prices”. If you look at other cloud hosts, they’re super powerful, but they’re full of jargon — I don’t even know what a Dyno or a Droplet is, honestly, and the thought of learning that stresses me out. How the hell do I guess how much “compute” I need to purchase for an app that I just created? For a normal person, it’s confusing and just acts as a barrier.

How about this, instead: you pay us ten bucks, and we run your apps.

That’s our new paid plan at Glitch. For paying members, we boost your apps so there’s no rate limits, you get more storage and memory for apps that need them, we keep them always available and running smoothly for you, and you even get a nice shiny upgrade on your Glitch profile so everybody knows you’re a member of the friendliest coding community on the web. You’ll also be first in line for the equally exciting new features we’ve got planned.
