Budibase vs. Retool

Even though its a solid tool I think for now it is best suited to create some relatively complex apps but not best suited to build very complex apps where you need to manipulate data during runtime. But they are actively developing the produt and push updates on the regular basis which makes me feel optimistic about their future.

I feel it is best suited for internal apps (and they advertise it as such). If you have data in Gsheet then this makes one of the best choice to build your internal apps. Costing wise also I feel they offer generous free tier and then you can scale as per need. One thing I would like to see is more pre-built UI elements (modern looking)

• Can connect REST APIs
• Can define User Roles
• Open Source so you can host it yourself if you prefer
• They have a component called reapeater field which is extreamly useful in cases you want to iterate UI component on you table

Incentivized

• Building UI even though simple, it gets tougher when you want to build a complex one. The way they have implemented data sources in the UI is bit rigid.
• you can not use JS in all the components to manipulate data which makes it less dynamic compared to say AppSmith.

• made building internal tool easy
• saved good number of man hours compared to building tools from scratch
