The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Basic is $23 per builder a month yearly, $29 monthly, between the middle and the dearer quarter. Pro is $79 and Team $199 per builder. |
| Free plan and trial | B | A 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. |
| Features | B | A builder with AI generation, data connections, workflows, agents, governance and self-hosting. The listing names no gap in the job, only plan limits. |
| Ease of use | C | A web builder where the work is building the apps. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with GitHub, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and PostgreSQL, plus data connections. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
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.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
67/89
Other AI app builders it is graded above
ToolJet's GPA of 2.6 is higher than 67 of the 89 other AI app builders we grade, and level with 10.
It stands best on free plan and trial (B, above 72 of 89) and worst on ease of use (C, above 1).
Its paid plans start at $23 a month, against a middle price of $20 for the category: 55 of the 82 others that charge start lower.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
