In their own words
Bubble
Bubble is a platform for building web and mobile apps, with support for Android, iOS, and the web. Projects can use a built-in database, authentication, API integrations, and shared workflows and backend across web and mobile apps. Users can build before paying to launch. The Free plan includes one app editor, 50K workload units per month, and six hours of server logs. Native mobile apps can be published to the iOS and Android app stores, and production-ready apps include security scanning. Bubble can connect with services such as Stripe and Google Maps. A 14-day trial is listed; unless canceled, it converts to a paid Starter subscription. Starting that trial involves a temporary $1 card pre-authorization, which expires within 5-10 business days. Starter Web + Mobile costs $59 a month, billed annually; Growth costs $209 a month, billed annually, and Team costs $549 a month, billed annually. The maker is Bubble Group, Inc., headquartered in New York, NY, United States, and founded in 2012.
ToolJet
ToolJet is a platform for building internal tools and business applications, with screens, data queries, application logic, and permissions. ToolJet AI can turn a plain-language request into an app draft whose components are connected to queries. Workflow automation supports data syncing, approvals, scheduled jobs, and notifications. The platform lists more than 100 native connectors and supports REST and gRPC endpoints; each workspace also includes ToolJet Database, a no-code table editor built on PostgreSQL. Security controls include SAML, OIDC, and LDAP single sign-on, role-based permissions, and workspace audit logs. ToolJet says it encrypts data in transit with TLS and data-source credentials with AES-256-GCM. Its security resources include SOC 2 audit information, ISO 27001, and GDPR materials. Community and enterprise editions can be deployed on-premise, including in an air-gapped configuration. ToolJet is available through web, API, and self-hosting. The cloud Free plan is available, and paid plans start at $23 per month; a 14-day trial is listed.
