Rationale
Openblocks positions itself as an open-source alternative to Retool, directly aligning with the core concept of building internal tools with low-code capabilities. The website explicitly lists features such as a 'Visual UI builder with 50+ built-in components' (drag-drop-ui-builder, prebuilt-react-components), 'Native connections to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, REST API, SMTP, etc.' (api-database-integrations), 'JavaScript supported everywhere' (code-customization), 'Role-based access control (RBAC)' (access-control-security), 'Auto-saved and restorable history for release and version control' (version-control-integration), 'DIY app themes' (custom-theming-branding), and 'Audit logs' (audit-logs-analytics). The 'Module and Query Library' and the ability to 'orchestrate other queries' with JS queries also suggest workflow automation capabilities. Deployment options like Docker, AWS AMI, and DigitalOcean indicate flexible deployments.

I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.

After struggling with [Product]'s limitations, we decided to build our own solution.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
