Retool connects to databases, APIs, LLMs, and external tools out of the box.

		Why Retool is Better than Glide Retool is better than Glide for technical teams building highly customized applications on complex enterprise data. Glide makes no-code business app creation accessible and is particularly convenient for turning spreadsheets and databases into polished portals, dashboards, and mobile-friendly tools. Retool offers deeper developer control, more flexible logic, direct API and database work, workflow orchestration, and broader deployment choices. It is better suited to applications that must support unusual processes, advanced integrations, or evolving operational requirements. See more
