About
Retool is the AI-native enterprise app development platform where teams build and ship production-ready apps — at AI speed, with enterprise governance built in. Describe what you need and get a working app, import React-based apps from Lovable, Replit, or Claude Code, or connect your AI agent via MCP. However your team builds, every app lands in Retool with RBAC, SSO, audit logging, and your existing permissions already in place.
Retool connects to databases, APIs, LLMs, and external tools out of the box. Teams can build AI agents, dashboards, workflows, and full-stack apps — with a visual editor for speed and direct code access for precision. Trusted by over 10,000 organizations including Amazon, Stripe, DoorDash, and OpenAI to get AI-built apps safely to production.

Why Retool is Better than BudibaseRetool is better than Budibase for companies seeking a mature, unified platform that can support internal apps, workflow automation, mobile experiences, external applications, databases, and AI agents at scale. Budibase is a capable open-source platform for internal tools and workflows, but Retool provides a broader development environment and a more extensive ecosystem for connecting, deploying, managing, and governing applications. It is especially compelling for larger teams that want one standardized internal software platform. See more |
