In their own words
Alpha Anywhere
Alpha Anywhere is a rapid application development platform for building and deploying business applications for mobile, desktop and web. Apps can retain downloaded data, accept edits while disconnected and synchronize changes when connectivity returns; the platform also manages conflicts when users edit the same record. It supports SQL and NoSQL databases and web services, including connections to Salesforce, and can combine multiple data sources in one app. Developers can create REST APIs for workflows, processes and SQL databases. A report writer generates PDF, HTML and Excel output, while interface controls include maps, charts, signatures, image annotation, audio and video. Hosting choices include self-hosting, third-party providers and Alpha Cloud. Security controls cover users, groups, page access and field-level access, with SSL and HMAC support. The free Community Edition includes web and mobile development, any data source connection and unlimited apps. Paid plans start at $99.00 per month. Developer and Server installations require Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022 or newer, at least 2 GB RAM and 50 GB disk space.
Mendix
Mendix is a low-code platform for building, running, and orchestrating apps and agents for a hybrid workforce. In Studio Pro, teams model application logic, data, workflows, and user experience visually, while retaining the option to add custom code. Its AI capabilities span planning, generation, deployment, and operations, and it can connect external language models, agents, knowledge bases, and tools. The Mendix Connect Catalog can include connectors to enterprise data sources such as Siemens Teamcenter, SAP, and Mendix applications. Applications can be deployed to public cloud or on-premises, including air-gapped environments. Listed capabilities include mobile publishing, a built-in database, user authentication, and API integrations. The free package allows unlimited users and one deployment environment per application, but includes neither product support nor guaranteed availability. Standard pricing is $1,090 a month for One App or $2,725 a month for Unlimited Apps; cloud deployment may cost extra. Mendix was founded in Rotterdam in 2005 and says it was acquired by Siemens in 2018.
