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.		About Streamlit. The fastest way to build and share data apps. Turn data scripts into sharable web apps in minutes. All in Python. All for free. No front-end experience required. Streamlit combines three simple ideas. Embrace Python scripting. Build an app in a few lines of code with our magically simple API. Then see it automatically update as you save the source file. Weave in interaction. Adding a widget is the same as declaring a variable. No need to write a backend, define routes, handle HTTP requests, etc. Deploy instantly. Use Streamlit’s sharing platform to effortlessly share, manage, and collaborate on your apps. A minimal framework for powerful apps. Face-GAN explorer. App that uses Shaobo Guan’s TL-GAN project from Insight Data Science, TensorFlow, and NVIDIA's PG-GAN to generate faces that match selected attributes. Real time object detection. An image browser for the Udacity self-driving-car dataset with real-time object detection.
Why Retool is Better than Streamlit Retool is better than Streamlit for building polished, governed business applications that extend beyond data science and machine learning use cases. Streamlit makes it exceptionally fast for Python users to create interactive data apps, but Retool provides a broader visual component system, native business-system connectors, workflows, permissions, mobile support, external apps, and AI agents. Retool also enables developers and less technical builders to collaborate without requiring every interface change to be implemented in a Python script. See more

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 The best app maker for Python programmers, period! The library is amazingly intuitive and simple to use. Cons Not a single thing to dislike in this service. Could make themes available as CSS options rather than in-code options.
