A low-code and no-code builder supports changes to forms, reports, print formats, dashboards and workflows.

ERPNext exposes records through REST API endpoints for reading, creating, updating and deleting, subject to permissions. Application controls include OTP or two-factor authentication, IP restrictions, field-level roles and permissions, and an audit trail. It can be self-hosted under the AGPL-3.0 license at no product charge, or run through Frappe Cloud; Sites hosting starts at $5 per month.
