Pros from Real Users Pros For our internal workflows and tooling, we now use retool for everything. It is super easy and quick to get our critical operations workflows built. Excellent support from their team too!		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros None. Goes slow and doesn't understand instructions. You can use it only if buy tokens in advance. No free trial or free to use with limitations. The UI it creates is nice nice that i can see it right away easy to start using it intuitive enough I recently started using Softgen, and I was genuinely impressed by how quickly it turns ideas into working web applications. All I had to do was describe my project concept, and within minutes, it generated a fully functional full-stack app. The process felt seamless and almost magical. It handled both the frontend and backend effortlessly, using Next.js and Firebase as its foundation. Integrations with tools like Stripe for payments and Resend for email services were incredibly easy to set up, saving me hours of work. For someone who doesn’t want to get bogged down with coding or managing infrastructure, this platform is a game-changer. Cons Creates some mistakes and bugs so you can spend more money in tokens to fix them. Also they use the bank account information to pay the subscription after just 3days of trial that wasn't free. If I pay tokens to use , why add a subscription if there is no free-to-use or free-to-test? tons of mistakes keeps making the same mistakes over and over expansive no refunds even on unused credits Customizing beyond the initial AI-generated output required some manual coding, which may not suit everyone’s needs. It’s still early days for the platform, so there are some areas where more polish or flexibility would be welcome.
