This looks super promising - I've been waiting for tools like this for a while, definitely a strong problem area for a lot of businesses buried in disconnected spreadsheets, data, and analytics platforms.
Some feedback: The concept of 'actions' is not immediately intuitive to mentally estimate how much work and explorations could be done in the platform. How many people/apps/outcomes do you typically see for 25k actions for example? Same goes for storage - what could someone actually build on the free plan before hitting extra costs?

@new_user_f61ff363a1 Thanks for the feedback. We will indeed work on providing precise data on how these actions are going to be charged. It is mostly about creating and updating our data records. We are charging actions because our clients use Dashup's API for building websites, this way one can estimate the "actions" usage based on what they are planning to use with Dashup. Storage goes the same way. They are charged based on what they are planning to store. We charge a minimal extra amount for exceeded actions or storage, which is written in our pricing section. Please let us know if you would like more details regarding the topic.
@ashpaulzz I can totally appreciate your framework for pricing.
Let me put it this way: the product is being positioned as a no-code tool aimed at non-developer business-customer segments. But the pricing model only makes sense to API users. You don't have to change the model, or spend time justifying and explaining it.
A simple content strategy clearly tied to pricing tiers might help for example; articles like "what other people built and use every day on 50k actions/month for less than 1GB storage" - then provide basic case studies. Or just having some linked examples under the tiers - what's the size of the fleet tracking example for instance; 10gb and 120k actions?
For me, the pricing as it is communicates that it's too complicated / a black box / something you cannot project the cost of building and running a project (based on the landing page alone of course).
I hope this helps as I feel the product itself is a great idea. I'd love to see you get high conversions from that landing page alone. Again, well done to you and the team :)
@new_user_f61ff363a1 I appreciate your feedback. We discussed this with our team members, and we have agreed to keep actions for API users only and come up with a new Pricing Model for businesses. It should be up very soon. Thank you for your valuable feedback :)
@new_user_f61ff363a1 @ashpaulzz another consideration too. The pricing model right now discourages usage. I'd think the goal of any product is try and increase user adoption/usage of it as it leads to higher retention.
With a pricing model that basically punishes me for adding more "actions", as a user I become more hesitant to build more.
I think a flat rate or tiered plan pricing model would help solve this.
@axel_norvell Thanks again :)
Yes, it makes sense. We have decided to drop the idea of actions. We are coming up with a new pricing model very soon.
I recommend Dashup. The software is so open. It can become your CRM, your task manager, your todo list, your roadmap, project management etc.
Truly like this open nature and recommend everyone to give it a try!
Hi Hunters,
I’m Ash and I’m part of the team behind Dashup. 👋
We’re super excited to launch Dashup finally!
Dashup lets anyone built truly unique online tools for your company, connect with your customers, and grow your business without a single tech headache.
You can build from scratch using our modules or select from 60 (starting) templates to capture, transform, display and share information in one workspace across all your teams.

- And at least 55 other things
Why Dashup?
We started Dashup after years of building ERPs and platforms for companies the way they wanted them. Everything from workplace management, through gas delivery...
We wanted to give the power to create these tools to the people who'd actually use them! ✊
What’s in Dashup?
At its core, Dashup makes a database, forms, views and logic available to users to build, configure and change through a drag and drop interface.
You can get started by signing up for free! And if you like the platform, you can also use the discount code EARLYBIRD to get 50% of our paid plans.

Great product! Very convenient and useful tool for new businesses and people who've just started with their website idea implementation!
Kudos on the launch...
The concept is sound, but the app itself is kind of buggy and has some UX flaws.
For example, when you create a new form, it asks you to select a Model...but I cannot figure out where to manage these "Models" or how to create a new one.
Also the styling of the app icon on each page in the top left makes it look broken. I think you're trying to make it match the brand logo, but it looks pretty weird and like broken styling.
When you click on the left side navigation, it always brings you to the Template page...but if you've already built out that side nav item the way you want, that gets really annoying. It'd probably be better to default the user to the first actually created item in the list, then "Add Item" shows the Template page / building blocks pages.
There's a lot more usability issues I could point out, but right now it's pretty difficult trying to create things from scratch and understand how to do that successfully.
Thanks @axel_norvell, these are very good suggestions. We will implement some of these this week. We would love to hear more from you. :)
Very impressive! I like the idea to give companies the chance to create their own tools, good luck 💪
