In their own words
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.
