Appsmith vs. Budibase

It is best suited if you want to build a tool for internal use purpose. It is even better suited if you have your data in Google Sheets. You can build apps with functionlity of CRUD where you can not just view but modify and add new entries so you can make good internal CRM tool or HR tool or anything that you need with the flexibility that Appsmith offers.

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.

• Connect to external data sources like Google Sheets
• Using JS to manupulate data
• Can use JS almost everywhere within design

Incentivized

• 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

• UI could be more responsive. Its bit hassle to create a UI which would fit mobile devices.
• If there are multiple UI blocks it gets cumbersome to adjust their size and appearance as you have to do it one by one.

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.
