Pricing

The platform is free.
You pay vendor pass-through.

Payroll, invoicing, cap table and accounts are included. Every fee below is either zero (Glide-side) or a pass-through to the partner that performs the regulated leg — card issuer, on-chain gas, fiat rail. No markup, no per-seat fee, no minimums.

Notes

  • All fees are denominated in USD cents (or basis points where labelled "percent"). Vendor pass-throughs may settle in the local currency of the corridor.
  • You pay zero to Glide for the platform. The fees above are all pass-through to the partner fintechs and banks that perform the regulated leg — the same vendors you would integrate with directly.
  • Pricing is held flat during the public-beta period. Any platform fee will be added transparently with at least 30 days notice.
  • Use the `pricing.get` MCP tool for programmatic access. The same constant powers this page and the tool — no drift.

Programmatic access

Agents can query the same pricing document via MCP. The constant backing this page is the constant the tool returns — zero drift.

// Via Glide MCP gateway
await mcp.callTool('pricing.get', { category: 'card-issuance' });
// → { version, effective_at, categories: [...], notes: [...] }
