ToolJet earns its comparisons to Retool: a drag-and-drop builder, 80+ prebuilt connectors spanning databases, REST/GraphQL APIs and LLMs, and a built-in Postgres instance so teams don't need to wire up their own backend. The open-source core has real traction — the GitHub repo has passed 36,000 stars with roughly 400 contributors — and self-hosting it stays genuinely free, which is the biggest differentiator against Retool's closed model. The 2026 push into AI app generation and an agent builder is following the market rather than leading it.
Cloud pricing jumps fast: Pro starts at $79/builder/month with only 5 apps included, and SSO, audit logs and white-labeling sit behind the $199/builder Team tier. G2 reviewers flag that performance can lag on large datasets. For engineering teams comfortable self-hosting, it's one of the stronger open-source options; for anyone wanting a polished SaaS experience without ops overhead, budget for the jump past the free tier.
What people say
ToolJet has 53 reviews on G2, where users consistently call out the drag-and-drop interface and the speed of wiring up databases and APIs compared to hand-coding an admin panel from scratch. Reviewers cite the open-source licensing and self-hosting option as the reason they picked it over Retool, and several note the built-in PostgreSQL database removes a step most internal-tool builders assume you'll handle yourself.
The recurring complaint across G2 and Capterra reviews is performance: several users report the interface lagging once tables or datasets get large, and a few mention the query editor's debugging tools feel thin next to writing raw SQL. Documentation gaps around the newer AI features — AI app generation, the agent builder — also come up, which tracks with those being 2025-2026 additions rather than mature parts of the product.
On GitHub, the traction is real rather than manufactured: the repo has crossed 36,000 stars with around 400 contributors, and ToolJet's own blog cites a roughly 1:10 fork-to-star ratio, a decent proxy for people actually running the code rather than just bookmarking it. That community size matters for a self-hosted tool, since support quality outside the paid tiers depends on Discord and forum activity rather than a vendor SLA.
Pricing is where reviews get more mixed. The free tier caps out at 2 builders and 2 apps — enough to trial the product, not to run anything real. Pro jumps to $79/builder/month for up to 5 apps, and the features most teams actually want — SSO, custom user groups, white-labeling, Git sync, audit logs — sit behind the $199/builder Team plan. Enterprise self-hosted deals start around $3,000/month. Reviewers comparing ToolJet to Retool generally say the free self-hosted core is the strongest argument in ToolJet's favor; once you're paying for the cloud product, the price gap narrows.
