Retool
Build internal tools connected to your databases in hours.
Overview
Retool is the reference platform for building internal tools - dashboards, admin panels, operational tools - directly connected to your databases and APIs. Technical teams use it to deliver in hours what would take weeks in traditional development: an e-commerce back-office, ticket management tool, business dashboard.
The free plan is generous (5 creators, 5 end users) for testing. The Team plan at $10/user/month suits SMEs with a small tech team. Retool requires SQL and API literacy - not for non-technical people. Cloud version is US-hosted, raising GDPR compliance questions.
Our verdict
Ideal for SMEs with a developer or technical profile who want to ship internal tools fast. Too complex for non-technical teams. If you have this profile, it's probably the best ROI on the market for custom tools connected to your data.
