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 The object-oriented Xojo programming language and cross-platform rapid application development tool let you develop native applications for macOS, Windows, Linux, the web, iOS and Raspberry Pi. User interfaces are quickly and intuitively made with drag and drop and the modern framework supports features like graphics, database servers and internet protocols. Xojo abstracts you from the platform details allowing you to focus your time and energy on what makes your app unique. Xojo is free to use for learning and development.

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 Used to be decent for rapid development with fair pricing and good support. Now none of those things are true. Cons After using XOJO for over 20 years, they've suddenly price gouged their customers with a 500% price increase. Support has been unhelpful and rude, basically telling everyone to go kick rocks. I've left XOJO and will not support scummy businesses that do this to their long term loyal customers.
