User Testimonials
	Ionic	Retool
Likelihood to Recommend	Ionic - Inexpensively and rapidly creating multi-device (Android, iPhone) native apps. - Quick ramp-up time allows for rapid development. - Open source tools can be used to develop. - Lightweight code-based can be easily shared and developed in a team environment. - Use of React, Vue, and angular leverages well-known coding and application design frameworks that are transportable. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Retool 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) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Ionic Nice command line interface for repetitive development and deployment tasks. Realtime preview (in web browser) during development. Easy to update and keep current (open source) via command line. Provides nice set of mobile widgets for consistency across devices.

Cons	Ionic Slightly better documentation when it comes to command line build troubleshooting. Increased widget library (even though it's much improved today). Native chart/graphing widgets. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Retool No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Ionic Android Studio Busy Confusing Marginal IDE Large footprint Single device development IonicFramework Lean, no IDE needed Web browser preview Multi-device development Scripting of build packages for deployment Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Retool No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Ionic The ability to create a mobile app quickly by a single developer (saving $20K). Increased customer satisfaction. Avoids outsourcing costs of $10k-$20k. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	Retool No answers on this topic
