A: Hi, welcome back to our deal page!

We believe that, even if with some overlaps, we are solving different problems.

This is a brief overview of Chartmat VS Glide:

- Both Chartmat and Glide use spreadsheets as their main data source.
- Glide automatically imports all the data into the app (which doesn't alway work as you would like with custom data). Chartmat lets you select the specific data intervals that you want to display.
- Glide is focussed on mobile Websites and Apps. Chartmat is focussed on Dashboards, Charts, Data Visualization AND Apps.
- Chartmat works with blocks. Glide doesn't divide the space into segments. Glide can be best compared to Chartmat's Grid block.
- Chartmat is potentially easier to get started with and allows for more customization
- Glide is more targeted at building apps for end users (consumers), Chartmat is more targeted at building dashboards for businesses.
- Chartmat allows for further customization with HTML, CSS

To summarize it: Glide is built with the idea of the final app in mind. Chartmat is built to use data that already exists in your spreadsheets and that you need to visualize/build an app with.
