Retool alternatives

I've tested quite a few so called no-code tools which claim they can integrate between different systems, but so far none of them have really done what I needed them to - until Ply came along. It's easy to understand, and use, and the possibilities are virtually endless when it comes to actually integrating different systems and apps. Want a button that finds the company which sent you a newsletter, then finds that company in your CRM and all the contacts, as well as generates an email based on a template and sends it to the contacts you choose? Sure, why not? Ply is truly only limited by your imagination, and the available apps supported, of course. The built in AI features make things even more exciting, and even though I've been using Ply for a few weeks I have only started to scratch the surface. This tool will revolutionize the way our company operates, and I would suggest everyone everywhere start to use it sooner rather than later.

Very easy to use and get set up. The team there is also more than willing to help tackle tricky configuration edge cases (thanks for the multi-environment support!!!). App development within Superblocks is very straightforward -- reminiscent of the best parts of developing Windows desktop applications in Visual Basic or Delphi: just drag, drop, and link actions to functions and queries. The support for various scripting languages for transforming data is huge as well. Building out a complex tool that merges data from several different sources can be a huge pain in our system internally, but once your data sources are connected, it's very easy in Superblocks. Highly recommend this tool for teams with problems that could be solved by internal apps leveraging this data fusion.

ToolJet is a game-changer for anyone trying to get into web app development or prototyping! I was amazed by how simple it was to use. Even with limited experience with similar softwares, I could quickly build prototypes that felt super complex at first. It’s intuitive, beginner-friendly, and honestly just fun to work with. What I love most is how approachable the community is—they’re always ready to help, no matter how basic or tricky your question is. It’s like having a team of supportive friends who genuinely want you to succeed.

Amazing app! Easy to build, flexible and powerful! (I use it with an Airtable base, and syncs perfectly)

This tool has helped us (FeatBit.co) to provide a free and powerful feature flag management service to our customers. Our customers use our open API (with permission access token) and Illa to build an internal entitlement management tool for their business team. This allows their customer success team to release different features to their different customers without redeployment and the need for an engineering team.

I kept hitting platform limitations with other no/low-code solutions until I found Appsmith! It's the perfect balance of a no-code UI editor, and low-code (JavaScript) to transform data and add business logic.

I originally started with 3 Low-Code Solutions for our application: 1) Retool 2) Appsmith 3) UI.Bakery Myself personally, I created the application in literally all 3 before choosing my favorite. Reasons for my selection: 1) Price...clear and simple...no price per user, no price per database call, etc...the competitors are VERY quick to hide these details. 2) UI...we presented our demo to quite a few people, and UI Bakery stood out as the clear winner 3) Customer Support...I have never quite met a company that is SO engaged. The chat window is INSTANT. Meeting requests are very fast and often the next day 4) This tool can be used for simple applications or complicated ones (such as mine with heavy Javascript coding). It really covers it all.

I completely generated an MVP in 2 days without writing a line of code based on an existing database and polished a final solution in less than 2 quarters working with the customer following the principles of the No Handoff Manifesto

I work for a startup called Fernish. We used Internal to rebuild our internal admin tools, which were originally built with the Administrate gem for rails. Our version of administrate was deprecated so we took the opportunity to rebuild our admin tools with Internal. The killer feature for us was role-based permissions. Internal makes it super easy to configure permissions for our admin users. This was a feature we didn't have with our previous Administrate solution. Internal is now part of our entire development lifecycle. Internal communicates with our system via API (or an HTTP Source in Internal). We're also able to connect our review apps, staging, and production environments to internal. As a frontend engineer that has built multiple admin tools in the past, I originally thought Internal was not necessary, but I have since changed my mind. Internal is a lot less work than hand-rolling a solution on our own.

Basedash is exactly what I didn't know our team needed. Also, their free plan is perfect for teams who are just getting started.

Alex and Interval team, congrats on the launch. Interval has changed the way we approach internal tooling at my company. It feels like magic, extremely intuitive, and fun to use. Also, Interval's support is top-notch. Can't wait to see where you take it from here!
