Huddle connects directly to existing data sources including Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Smartsheet, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Notion, Asana, and Jira. It does not require data migration — data remains in its original source.

How Huddle and Glide Differ
Ease of Use
Huddle is built for non-technical users and serves SMBs through to enterprises with a single product. Glide is also accessible to non-technical users but is optimized for lightweight, mobile-first apps rather than full operational tooling.
Data Connectivity
Huddle connects to a broad set of existing data sources — including SQL databases, ITSM-relevant systems, and major SaaS tools — without requiring migration. Glide is centered on spreadsheet-style sources and its own Glide Tables.
Cost
Huddle's pricing is designed to be SMB-accessible and to scale to enterprise. Glide's pricing scales by users and update volume.
Configuration Management
Huddle includes visual app maps, version control, AI-generated documentation, a native ITSM widget library, and built-in portal analytics. Glide does not include these capabilities natively.
Who It's For
Huddle is built for non-technical users at SMBs through to enterprises. Glide is built primarily for the audience described above.
Who Should Choose Huddle?
Teams that need substantive internal applications — service portals, CRMs, dashboards, asset trackers, intranets — built on top of the data they already have.
Who Should Choose Glide?
Teams that primarily need lightweight, mobile-first apps over a spreadsheet — for example field data capture, simple directories, or quick MVPs.
