Rationale
Softr is a strong match for Retool's concept. It explicitly offers a low-code platform for building web applications and portals, emphasizing its ability to connect to various data sources (API & Database Integrations). The platform features an 'Interface Builder' with 'Building Blocks' which aligns with a Drag-and-Drop UI Builder and Prebuilt React Components. While it's primarily no-code, it does offer 'Custom code' options for more advanced users, fulfilling the Code Customization aspect. Softr also provides robust 'Users & Permissions' and 'Global data restrictions' for Access Control & Security. It supports Flexible Deployments by allowing custom domains and PWA. Furthermore, it offers 'Workflow Automation', 'Mobile App' support, 'AI App Generator', and 'Custom Theming & Branding'. The platform is clearly designed for building internal tools and partner/customer portals.
