What it is
Ninox is an AI-native low-code platform for building custom business software and workflows. Users can describe needs in plain language, then use AI and low-code tools to organize data, set business rules, create interfaces, and automate processes. Its use cases include CRM and sales, invoicing and orders, inventory, projects, HR, patient records, and care. Automations can respond to events and conditions or use scripting. Teams can collaborate in real time and generate, email, share, print, or export documents such as contracts, invoices, and reports. Ninox connects with Zapier, Make, and n8n and offers a public REST API. Its indefinitely available free plan costs nothing and supports up to five users, with 100 MB storage and up to 5,000 records. Team costs €25 a month billed annually, and Business costs €40 a month billed annually; prices exclude VAT. Ninox says it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, hosted on AWS servers in Germany, with data encrypted at rest and in transit. It runs in a modern browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile; native iOS and Android apps are in development.
