Convertigo

What Convertigo is

Convertigo is an open source application platform that pairs a no-code studio for business teams with a low-code studio for developers. Its homepage calls it "the Open Source AI Driven Enterprise Application builder platform" and says it is "the first AI boosted platform combining both Low code and No code capabilities." The tagline is "Turn AI prompts into governed, self-hosted enterprise applications." It is aimed mainly at IT departments and enterprise developers who build web and mobile apps that must connect to existing systems, and at the business teams those departments serve. The homepage also names two further audiences: UX and UI designers who want applications to match their mockups exactly, and DevOps engineers who want scaling and deployment tied into their own tooling.

The company says it has offices in France and North America, and its contact details list Paris and Geneva. The footer adds that it serves hundreds of SMEs and large customers in banking, insurance and retail. Version 8.4 is advertised as the current release.

What you build and how

Two studios, one workflow. The homepage FAQ explains the split. The low-code studio is where IT teams create secured "data sources" (data held by the company) and "actions" (send an email, exchange data with existing systems, add a purchase order on SAP). They make these available to business users. The no-code studio is where business teams use those data sources and actions to build their applications. The FAQ says the IT department then knows where the data is, when it is used and by whom, which removes unmanaged forms that sometimes hold sensitive data; the homepage sums this up as "Combining No code and Low code ends shadow IT." In the no-code studio you build form-based applications with business rules, synchronized with secured databases, ERP, CRM and PLM systems. In the low-code studio you can build "everything you can build with traditional technologies." A company blog post adds that the low-code side is based on standard TypeScript and JavaScript, so a developer who hits the limit of the visual tools drops into standard code instead of a proprietary formula language.

What comes out. The homepage says the full-stack platform simplifies development and deployment of web, mobile and desktop pixel-perfect applications, and that you can add custom code when needed. The platform features read as a checklist for a real project: web applications, mobile applications, data and API connectors, back-end logic and flows, user authentication, a task scheduler, DevOps CI/CD, activity monitoring, offline data and data security. The enterprise page lists the same scope in prose: web and mobile applications, backend services, integrations, workflows, offline operation and controlled deployment, with governance and DevOps.

Back end. The blog describes a built-in "Sequence" engine for back-end logic: you map integrations across SOAP, REST, SQL and legacy systems visually and expose them as unified APIs to the front end. That is how a Convertigo project holds server-side orchestration as well as screens.

Mobile and offline. The company's blog says Convertigo "allows you to compile true native iOS and Android binary packages," and that it includes "a mature, conflict-resolving offline data synchronization engine out-of-the-box." The homepage brands the offline layer as Full Sync®: applications keep working without a connection and data synchronizes automatically once the connection returns. The blog positions this for field service, logistics and remote site inspections. The pricing table also lists Android APK, iOS IPA and PWA app generation.

Integration. The footer says the platform "is enriched with over 300 connectors allowing smooth and fast integration with various applications and databases." The homepage names the standard protocols it connects through: REST, SOAP, SQL and OData. The pricing table lists an SQL connector, LDAP, OAuth and OpenID integration, RPA connectors and SAP BAPI connectors at different editions. The enterprise page adds MCP-compatible coding-agent control and specialized legacy RPA for IBM 3270 and 5250 systems, which matters to anyone still running green-screen applications.

AI. The homepage says Convertigo uses AI technologies such as ChatGPT and Mistral AI for intelligent automation in the development process, from generating application prototypes to coding assistance, alongside "AI-powered automation and pre-built components." The enterprise page is explicit about where AI sits: it says AI accelerates development without becoming the production architecture, and that an enterprise low-code platform is for production applications that need governance, identity controls, auditability and lifecycle management.

Hosting and licensing. The homepage offers "our managed Cloud or use your own infrastructure," and the blog lists self-hosting with Docker, on-premises and hybrid deployment. The enterprise page says Convertigo "is open source and available under dual licensing: GNU AGPLv3 or a commercial license," and that the source code remains available under both options. The company states that the commercial license "does not introduce a closed-source platform core." The homepage frames this as "No vendor lock-in." The developer menu links a free download, a project setup guide, a GitHub repository for contributions, and a Marketplace of reusable components.

Plans, pricing and proof

• Community Edition. Free, described as "Free and will always be, ideal for students and self hosted POCs." The table lists unlimited apps, front-end and back-end low code, community support, the SQL connector, on-premises installation only, 1 environment, and Android APK, iOS IPA and PWA app generation.
• Starter Edition. 15€ per user per month. It adds the no-code studio, a 99.5% uptime guarantee, 9/5 support with a service level agreement, LDAP, OAuth and OpenID integration, installation on premises or on the managed cloud, 2 environments, and offline data with NoSQL.
• Enterprise Edition. 20€ per user per month. It adds a dedicated customer success manager, DevOps integration, billing and analytics, RPA connectors, unlimited environments and SAP BAPI connectors. A "See more pricing options" link leads to further options; paid editions start through a contact form, and the site also offers a free trial and a demo.
• License. Dual licensing, GNU AGPLv3 or commercial, with the source available in both cases.
• Scale. The homepage says "Trusted by 50+ large companies and 100 000 developers around the world."
• Customers. Named use cases include multiple maintenance applications for SNCF, a banking financial data portal for BNP Paribas, a digitalized match sheet application for FFR, a digital point of sale for Darty, a B2C application for students for Bookplanet, and multiple citizen development applications for Chantiers de l'Atlantique. Industry pages cover transportation, banking, sports, retail, public sector and manufacturing.
• Security. The homepage says the platform protects data through encryption, secure connections and user authentication, and claims "built-in compliance to enterprise-grade standards" without naming a standard.
• Learning. Documentation, tutorials, a knowledge base, Convertigo Academy, webinars, ebooks and a support portal.

Who it suits

Convertigo suits an enterprise IT team that wants business users to build apps on top of data sources and actions that IT controls, and wants to run the platform on its own infrastructure. It also suits a development team that already knows TypeScript and JavaScript and wants a native mobile path with offline sync, plus an open source license that keeps the code readable. A bank, a transport operator or a public body that cares about where its data runs is the profile the customer list keeps pointing to, and the free Community Edition gives a student or a developer a self-hosted way to try the low-code studio.

There are trade-offs. The no-code studio and offline data start at the Starter Edition, so a team that wants business users building has to budget per user from the first seat. The two-studio design means someone has to set up the data sources first, and self-hosting means your own team runs the platform. The AGPLv3 license also needs a decision about whether the commercial license is the better fit for how you distribute what you build. The strongest claims about mobile and offline come from the company's own blog, so one offline mobile scenario and one SAP or database integration are worth building in the trial before a wider rollout.
