Retool

Build internal tools from components and queries.

Visit Retool Freemium

Retool assembles internal admin panels and dashboards from prebuilt components wired to SQL queries or APIs. The appeal is that a task which would take a week of frontend work takes an afternoon, and the result is maintainable by whoever wrote the query. It supports self-hosting.

Where it falls short

The free tier is aimed at small teams, and pricing is per user, which gets expensive for tools used by many people occasionally.
