Rationale
Appsmith is an open-source low-code platform that directly competes with Retool. It explicitly offers all the 'must-have' features such as API & Database Integrations, Drag-and-Drop UI Builder, Code Customization (JavaScript), Access Control & Security (SSO, RBAC), and Flexible Deployments (self-hosting, cloud). Additionally, it provides many 'other' features like debugging tools, Git version control, audit logs, workflow automation, mobile responsiveness, prebuilt UI components, AI assistance, custom branding, and the ability to build portals.
