AppMaster.io vs. Retool

You can create a full-fledged mobile application that other people will use

Works well in: Connecting directly to databases and APIs holding candidate data. Allows teams to easily drill into records from different data sources. Quick to build dashboards. It wouldn't work well without a team to actually get it set up. There is limited design/ branding, making it look very basic. Your team requires training because data can be overwritten easily. Having some knowledge with your whole team is super important, and if you work with contractors or non-tech people, this can be a huge issue.

Because even though it is quite intuitive it is not the best tool I have ever seen.

Very quick replies, very thorough answers, they help with even the smallest cases and always are there when you have even the most stupid questions.

The main strength of AppMaster.io in comparison to Bubble is its more vivid and logical data models and business logic design. Thus, AppMaster helps better understanding the overall logic as well as specific details of the projects being developed.

We selected Retool because it offers the best balance of usability and power compared to alternatives like Appsmith, ToolJet, and OutSystems. It allows us to build much faster, with broad integrations and strong enterprise features like permissions and environment management. Competing tools were either too limited, required more engineering effort. Overall, retool support has been decent too.
