UI Bakery

UI Bakery assembles internal apps from tables, forms, and charts bound to queries, the same pattern as Retool and Appsmith, with a visual query builder for people who’d rather not write raw SQL and a code editor for those who would. It supports both cloud hosting and a self-hosted deployment, which matters for teams that need internal tools to stay behind their own firewall.

Pricing is per user with a free tier for small teams testing the builder before committing, and it undercuts Retool noticeably at the low end. Because it’s still a closed platform, apps don’t export to a standalone codebase, and moving off UI Bakery means rebuilding in whatever tool replaces it. The ceiling is a much smaller integration marketplace and community than the category leaders, so anything unusual likely means calling a custom API directly. It suits small teams and agencies who want Retool’s basic pattern without Retool’s price tag and don’t need a deep plugin ecosystem.
