Open-source low-code platform for internal tools and apps.
Budibase is an open-source low-code platform for quickly building internal tools, business apps, and workflows without a full development project. It stands out by including its own built-in database (so you can start building even without an existing data source), while also connecting to external databases and REST APIs. You design app screens by dragging components, add automations and workflows, set role-based permissions, and publish — turning weeks of internal-tool development into hours.
Budibase's open-source model is central to its appeal: you can self-host the whole platform for free with your own infrastructure, giving you control and avoiding per-seat SaaS costs, or use the managed cloud with paid tiers. It targets speed and simplicity — opinionated defaults, a built-in database, and automations get non-frontend developers and technical teams building fast. Cloud pricing adds per-user (creator and end-user) costs and enterprise features like SSO, SCIM, audit logs, and air-gapped deployments.
Budibase suits developers, IT teams, and technical builders who want a fast, open-source, ownable way to build internal tools and apps, especially those who value self-hosting or a built-in database. Plans run from the free open-source/self-hosted edition to cloud Pro, Premium, and Enterprise, so cost depends on hosting choice and team size.
