Appsmith
Open-source builder for internal apps and admin panels, with AI features and a self-hosted option.
- Free plan or free tier
- Open source or self-hostable
Builds internal tools on top of databases and APIs with drag-and-drop components and AI app generation.
Retool is a platform for internal software: admin panels, support consoles, approval queues and dashboards that sit on top of your existing databases and APIs. You drag components onto a canvas, connect them to queries, and add JavaScript where you need custom logic. AI features can generate apps and help write queries.
Companies use it to give operations, support and finance teams the screens they need without waiting for engineering. It can be hosted by Retool or run on your own infrastructure.
Plan who manages access to production data, set up separate environments for testing, and check how pricing counts builders and end users before rolling it out widely. It also offers workflows for scheduled jobs and a database of its own for smaller projects.
