Chose DronaHQ
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.

Chose Retool
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. …

User Testimonials
DronaHQRetool
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

  • Some Retool apps can become slow to load or refresh.
  • When multiple team members work on the same app, changes can overwrite each other or break functionality.
  • The UI/UX is pretty basic.

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.

  • Good ROI to give our teams the data they need.
  • Some dashboards can be slow so it can take more time/ bandwidth.
  • As apps grow more complex, troubleshooting logic or query dependencies can be time-consuming.
