Pipedream is a strong match for the Retool concept. It explicitly states its ability to connect APIs, AI, and databases, which aligns with 'API & Database Integrations' and 'Data Connectivity'. The platform emphasizes building applications with 'code-level control when you need it and no code when you don't', indicating both 'Drag-and-Drop UI Builder' and 'Code Customization'. The 'Workflow builder' directly matches 'Workflow Automation'. Security features like SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance support 'Access Control & Security' and 'Security & Permissions'. The mention of 'GitHub Sync' points to 'Version Control Integration' and 'Source Control Integration'. While not explicitly called 'audit logs', the 'Data Retention Controls' and 'Event History' suggest a form of monitoring and logging. The 'AI Agent Builder' and 'AI & LLM Integration' are clearly present. The primary difference is that Pipedream focuses more on workflow automation and API integration for AI agents, rather than a general internal tool builder with a rich UI component library, but the core functionalities overlap significantly.
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.
