Google AppSheet vs Ninox

Google AppSheet is a no-code platform for creating applications and automations without writing code. Gemini can turn natural-language descriptions into app drafts and help make them more intelligent and easier to use. Apps collect information through forms, barcodes, locations, signatures, and photos, then store it in AppSheet databases. Workflows can send email, SMS, and push notifications using triggers, conditions, and branches. AppSheet connects with Google Workspace, Office 365, Dropbox, Salesforce, BigQuery, SQL databases, Apigee, REST APIs, and OData. Its apps support project management, operations, field work, human resources, sales, and marketing. They run on Android and iOS devices and in mobile or desktop browsers. Mobile apps support offline use with background synchronization; browsers cannot launch apps offline or cache images and documents offline. Built-in encryption, role-based access controls, security filtering, and usage monitoring address security needs. A free prototype supports up to 10 users. Paid plans start at 5 USD/user/mo, and a free plan is available.

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.
