Appsmith vs. DronaHQ

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.

Incentivized

If you enjoy being ripped off and ignored, I would highly recommend DronaHQ. If you are unable to configure the app yourself, they will connect you to a contractor. You will be charged by the hour, so its within their interest to drag the project out as long as possible. Once the project is delivered, you may find that the app is super slow e.g. 1-2 minutes for a page to load. When you complain, they will blacklist your email.

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

Incentivized

• charge by the hour
• over promise
• super slow loading time

• 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

• Not ripping people off
• providing pages that load
• respond to emails

I was charged approx. $10k by DronaHQ to build an app over 6 months with page loading speed of 1-2minutes. Bubble.io took 2 weeks and $1000 to build a far superior app with page loading speed within 2 seconds.

• Saves tons of money to hire a vendor to build apps or hire a specialist within org to build internal apps

Incentivized

• ROI is negative 100%
