Retool is the best platform for internal tools. If your team builds admin panels, CRUD apps, or operational dashboards, Retool saves weeks of development per tool. The free tier for 5 users lets you validate before committing. For anything customer-facing, use a different tool.
What's great
- Dramatically faster than building internal tools from scratch
- Connects to any database or API natively
- Free tier for 5 users is enough for small teams
Watch out for
- Not for customer-facing applications
- Requires some technical knowledge (SQL/JavaScript)
- Per-user pricing gets expensive for large teams
