Dropbase is a strong match for Retool's concept. It explicitly states its purpose is to help developers build and prototype web apps faster with AI, serving as a low-code/no-code platform for internal tools. It features a drag-and-drop app builder, allows for custom business logic with code (Python), connects to various data sources and APIs, and supports AI-generated app code. It also emphasizes local-first and self-hosted deployments, aligning with flexible deployment options. The mention of pre-built UI components and workflow automation further solidifies the match.
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.
It handles edge cases much better and the API
is actually documented properly.

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.
