Mendix vs Ragic

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.

Ragic is a cloud database service for building custom business databases without code through a spreadsheet-like interface. The maker says customers use it for systems ranging from contact management to complete ERP systems. Ragic AI can generate databases from natural-language descriptions and create records from uploaded files. Search supports filters and role-based permissions, while report options include Gantt charts, pivot tables, calendars and ranking reports. Integrations include Zapier, IFTTT and Make; Ragic also provides API documentation and JavaScript workflows. Its iOS and Android apps support cloud-synced editing and offline access to saved data, and customers can host the service on their own server. The free plan includes three custom sheets, up to 1,000 records per sheet, unlimited users and 10 GB upload storage. Paid plans start at $5 a month, and a 30-day trial provides access to all features of the selected version without a user limit during the trial. Ragic states that it is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and follows GDPR.
