Retool

Overview

A tool for quickly building internal apps, like admin panels and dashboards, by dragging components and connecting them to your databases and APIs.

General use

Engineering teams use it to build the internal tools staff need for support, operations, and data entry without building a full app from scratch.

Insight

A fast way to build internal admin tools by dragging components onto a page and wiring them to your data, saving weeks against building from scratch. As the tools grow, the apps get hard to maintain and keep track of versions, and you are locked into their platform. Pricing is per user and adds up across a company. Best for internal tools a few staff use, not customer-facing apps.
