Best for internal tools with a visual builder and AI agent
UI Bakery builds internal tools with a drag-and-drop editor and an AI agent, with a free plan of unlimited apps. Builder is $20 per developer on yearly billing, and role-based access and audit logs are on Team at $35.
Who UI Bakery is for
- Fits if you build admin panels over your own databases
- Works for small teams that want to self-host
Who UI Bakery is not for
- Pricey if you add developers: anyone who edits counts as one
- Watch out: app export, environments and roles start at Builder, and role-based access and audit logs need Team
- Watch out: AI use beyond the included credits isn't priced on the page
- Tight if you stay free: AI is a trial allowance only

Keep UI Bakery, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace UI Bakery 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 38 of the 52 other AI app builders we grade. It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. UI Bakery’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.
