In their own words
Google AppSheet
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.
Oracle APEX
Oracle APEX is a low-code platform for building data-driven enterprise applications on Oracle Database. It supports workflow automation, mobile applications, data connectors, role permissions, and pro-code development. Applications can be installed on premises or run in Oracle Cloud and third-party clouds. For services, APEX can access REST endpoints through REST Data Sources and call SOAP or REST services through APEX_WEB_SERVICE, including OAuth 2.0 flows. Oracle describes database security capabilities used with APEX, including encryption, fine-grained access control, auditing, and multi-tenant data isolation. APEX 26.1 introduces APEXlang, a structured metadata language for expressing application intent to developers and AI agents. Oracle also describes AI Interactive Reports for natural-language data exploration and AI Agents that automate workflows using application logic and data context. APEX is available at no additional cost with supported Oracle Database editions, with no per-app or per-user license fees. Free hosted and Always Free options are also listed; Oracle Cloud Free Tier credits can be used during an initial trial of paid APEX Service.
