Generate the whole app, then hand it to your coding agent.

Yes. ToolJet runs in production at Tencent, Swisscom, Duolingo, Gojek, Orange, Unity, ClearScore, Bandwidth, Toss, Endeavour Group, ShareChat and YMCA NYC, among others. It is SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliant. The Team plan includes SSO with SAML, OpenID Connect and LDAP, audit logs, Git sync, custom user groups and white labelling. Self-hosted Team includes multiple environments; Cloud requires Enterprise for this feature. Enterprise adds SCIM provisioning, custom data retention and a dedicated support manager; air-gapped deployment is a Self-hosted Enterprise add-on.

Yes. ToolJet's Community Edition is AGPL-3.0 and Appsmith is Apache-2.0. ToolJet has over 41,000 GitHub stars; Appsmith has around 40,800. ToolJet includes built-in AI app generation, an MCP server for coding agents, production Workflows on Self-hosted only and a built-in database. Appsmith offers Ask AI code assistance, MCP beta on Business Cloud and Self-hosted Enterprise, workflows in open beta and an integrated PostgreSQL.

Yes, through Appsmith's MCP beta on Business Cloud and Self-hosted Enterprise. An administrator must enable it, and each user creates a key that grants only their existing Appsmith permissions. Compatible clients include Claude Code and Codex and can build and edit apps and resources. ToolJet's MIT-licensed MCP server provides native app tools so the agent composes a native app directly, on Cloud or Self-hosted, without ToolJet AI credits. On Self-hosted only, MCP can create and edit workflow drafts, validate them, and run them explicitly or inspect executions; authoring never runs or publishes a workflow automatically. Coding-agent usage and platform costs still apply.

Appsmith's Ask AI generates JavaScript and SQL snippets while you build, on self-hosted instances with your own model key. Separately, compatible coding agents can build and edit Appsmith apps through its opt-in MCP beta on Business Cloud and Self-hosted Enterprise. ToolJet includes complete multi-page app generation with Luna on Free and Haiku 5.5 on paid plans, or driven from your coding agent, and the output opens in the visual builder for manual edits.

Yes, and more broadly than ToolJet at lower tiers. Appsmith's in-editor Ask AI requires your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI or locally hosted Ollama key on any self-hosted instance, and its LLM datasource supports OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic and custom or self-hosted models with built-in RAG. ToolJet includes managed AI with credits on every plan, and offers builder BYOK on Enterprise plans for both Cloud and Self-hosted. A customer-hosted AI gateway is a separate Self-hosted Enterprise add-on; fully local AI also needs a supported local model.

Appsmith Business is $15 per user per month for every user, builder or end user, up to 99 users, after which Enterprise starts at $2,500 a month for 100 users. ToolJet charges per builder and includes end users up to the plan limit: 50 on Free and Pro, 100 on Team at $199 per builder per month, billed annually, unlimited on Enterprise. ToolJet's cheapest paid plan is Basic at $29 per builder per month, billed monthly, with 2,000 AI credits.

No. Appsmith supports JavaScript for queries, transformations and business logic. ToolJet supports both JavaScript and Python in queries, transformations and event handlers, and in workflows.

Appsmith Workflows is in open beta for Business and Enterprise, with human-in-the-loop steps and scheduled jobs. ToolJet's workflow builder is generally available on Self-hosted only. Its visual, node-based canvas supports JavaScript and Python logic. MCP can create and edit drafts, validate them, and run them explicitly or inspect executions; authoring never runs or publishes automatically. Workflows are not available on ToolJet Cloud.

Yes. Appsmith ships an integrated PostgreSQL that also serves as a vector store for AI features. ToolJet Database adds a spreadsheet-style no-code editor on top of PostgreSQL, so an app can be built before anyone provisions a database.
