## Ways to pay less

- **Save 20% with annual billing** (Annual discount): Basic, Pro and Team are shown at the annual rate, which the page marks as a 20% saving over monthly billing. Source: https://tooljet.com/pricing
- **Discounts for open-source projects** (Other savings): The FAQ says open-source and nonprofit projects can get a heavy discount by contacting ToolJet with project details. Source: https://tooljet.com/pricing

## Key features

- **App builder with AI generation:** Internal apps are assembled visually, and the AI features generate pages, queries, UI edits and database tables, and fix errors.
- **Data connections:** The platform page says it connects to 100+ databases, APIs and SaaS tools, and it has a built-in database based on PostgreSQL.
- **Workflows and agents:** A node-based workflow canvas and an agent builder automate business processes; the pricing page marks some workflow features as self-hosted only.
- **Coding-agent plugin:** The ToolJet MCP plugin lets Claude Code, Codex or Cursor build apps, and the pricing page says this uses no ToolJet AI credits.
- **Governance controls:** Higher plans add SSO, custom user groups, audit logs, Git sync and multi-environment deployment.
- **Self-hosting:** Runs on Docker, Kubernetes, a VPC or on-premise; the free Community Edition is open-source under the AGPL-3.0 license.

## Good for

- Engineering teams building internal tools and admin panels
- Companies that need to host on their own infrastructure
- Small teams that can start on the free plan

## Worth knowing

- Prices are per builder, and the cheaper plans cap end users at 50 (Team 100); more users need an Enterprise quote.
- AI credits reset each billing cycle, and extra credits are $1 per 100 or arranged through the vendor.
- Bringing your own LLM keys is limited to Enterprise plans.
- Free trials of paid features are arranged by contacting ToolJet; the pricing page lists none.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could not: A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and audit logs.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
