Which one is for you

Pick Ninox if

  • Fits if you want your own CRM, inventory or invoicing tool, shaped around how you work
  • Works for businesses whose data has to be hosted in Germany

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you outgrow Free, as Team is $31 a user a month billed annually, three times the usual here
  • Skip it if you need a phone app today, because the iOS and Android apps are still in development
  • Tight if you're staying free: 5 users, 5,000 records, 100 MB, 1,000 API calls a month and 7-day history
  • Not for you if free workflows need to send emails, or you want role-based access, as both start on Team
  • Watch out: prices exclude VAT, and Enterprise is priced on request

Pick Ragic if

  • Fits if your team already thinks in spreadsheets and wants linked records and approvals
  • Works for people who want mobile data entry and offline use

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free, as Free allows 3 custom sheets of 1,000 records
  • Tight if you need many sheets, because Lite caps custom sheets at 5
  • Pricey if you need the bigger plans, since concurrent-user plans are sold in blocks of 10 from $499 a month
  • Watch out: annual billing gets one free month rather than a stated rate
  • Watch out: AI usage is metered in multiples of an amount defined on a separate page

How we grade them

2.2GPANinoxFair2.8GPARagicGood
Value for money
DTeam is $31 a user a month billed annually, $36 monthly, and the dearest tenth of this category starts at $29.00, so Ninox sits in it. That's three times the $9.99 middle. Each seat does bring 50,000 records and 5 GB, Business is $49, and prices exclude VAT.
BLite is $5 per user a month, inside the cheapest quarter of spreadsheet tools, which starts at $6. Professional is $19 and the concurrent-user plan is $499 a month.
Free plan and trial
CFree for up to 5 users with no expiry, and all six view types are in. The caps arrive fast, though: 5,000 records, 100 MB of storage, 1,000 API calls and 100 documents a month, 7-day history, and workflows that can't send email at all.
BFree gives 3 custom sheets of 1,000 records with unlimited users, and a 30-day trial of paid plans needs no card.
Features
BIt covers the whole low-code job: AI that sets up the data, interfaces and automations from a description, table, form, chart, kanban, map and calendar views on every plan, event-triggered workflows, a script language, documents generated from records, Gmail and Outlook mail linked to records, and a REST API.
BSheet-style database, relationships between sheets, approvals, reports, documents and Excel, mobile apps and offline use. The listing shows no gap in the core job.
Ease of use
CNo rating on record, and the work is building the software itself: data structures, interfaces, workflows, then scripts for anything the AI didn't get right. It runs in a browser with nothing to install, and the AI drafts a first version from a plain description.
CNo store rating on record. You build your own sheets and forms, so there is a learning curve.
Platforms and integrations
BBrowser only, and Ninox says native iOS and Android apps are still in development, so an A is a long way off. It connects through Zapier, Make and n8n, links Gmail and Outlook mail to records, and has a public REST API.
BWeb, iPhone and Android, with an Excel link. No desktop app is listed.

More comparisons

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
