Rationale
Softr is a strong match for Retool's concept. It explicitly states its purpose is to 'Build internal tools without devs, fast' and 'Let your non-tech teams build custom apps without code'. It offers extensive API & Database Integrations, a Drag-and-Drop UI Builder with pre-built blocks, and robust Access Control & Security features including user management and granular permissions. While it emphasizes no-code, it does offer 'Custom code' embedding for advanced users, aligning with code customization. It also supports workflow automation through integrations like Zapier and Make, and allows for custom theming and branding. The platform is designed for building various internal tools and portals, including client and vendor portals, which aligns with the 'Partner & Customer Portals' feature. The mobile responsiveness is also highlighted.
