The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $20 per developer a month billed yearly, the category's middle. Team is $35 and AI use beyond the included credits isn't priced. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free: unlimited apps, data sources, a hosted database and monthly AI trial credits. A person can live on that. |
| Features | B | 80+ components, an AI agent, 45+ data connections, workflows, Git and React code export. The listing shows no gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A web builder where you connect data and build the screens. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web or self-hosted, connecting to 45+ databases and APIs. |
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 UI Bakery is for
- Fits if you build admin panels over your own databases
- Works for small teams that want to self-host
Who it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Teams building admin panels, dashboards and approval workflows on live databases
- Companies that want to self-host internal tools
- Teams where many staff only view apps: view seats are separate from developer seats
Worth knowing
- Pricing is per developer, meaning anyone with permission to edit apps, automations or data sources.
- App export, environments and built-in roles start on Builder; RBAC and audit logs need Team.
- AI usage beyond each plan's included credits is not priced on the page.
- Self-hosted plans have their own list: Free at $0 and Team at $35 per developer a month billed annually ($40 monthly).

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 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.
