Best for internal tools with a visual builder, cloud or self-hosted
ToolJet is a low-code builder for internal tools, with a built-in database, workflows and an agent builder. The free plan covers 2 builders and 50 end users, but prices are per builder, the cheaper plans stop at 50 end users, and bringing your own AI keys is Enterprise only.
Who ToolJet is for
- Fits if a small team wants internal tools and can live within 50 end users
- Works for developers who want to self-host the open-source edition
Who ToolJet is not for
- Pricey if you add builders, as every one is $23 to $199 a month
- Tight if you grow: Basic and Pro stop at 50 end users, and Team at 100
- Skip it if you want to use your own LLM keys, as that is Enterprise only
- Watch out: AI credits reset each cycle, and extra ones are $1 per 100
Why ToolJet gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyBasic is $23 per builder a month yearly, $29 monthly, between the middle and the dearer quarter. Pro is $79 and Team $199 per builder.
- BFree plan and trialA free plan with 2 builders, 50 end users, 10 apps and 100 AI credits a month, plus a Community Edition to self-host. One small team could stay on it.

Keep ToolJet, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace ToolJet you would be making a tool that builds and hosts other apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 67 of the 89 other AI app builders we grade. It costs $276 a year. ToolJet is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and audit logs.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. ToolJet’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
