What is ToolJet?
ToolJet is an open-source low-code platform for building internal tools such as admin panels, approval dashboards and CRUD apps on top of existing databases and APIs. The core Community Edition is released under AGPL-3.0 and has around 41,000 GitHub stars. It connects to more than 90 data sources and has 80+ drag-and-drop components, plus JavaScript and Python inside apps. Indian engineering teams often use it as a self-hosted alternative to Retool.
Cloud pricing is in US dollars and charged per builder. End users are not billed per seat. The Free plan allows 2 builders, 50 end users and 10 apps. Basic costs $23 per builder per month, Pro $79 and Team $199, with 20% off for annual billing. Enterprise is quoted. Self-hosting starts with the free Community Edition, and the Team licence is also listed for self-hosted use. AI credits for app generation are counted separately, and extra credits cost $1 per 100.
Watch the gap between tiers. Pro still caps you at 50 end users and 10 apps, so most companies rolling apps out across a department will need Team. SSO, audit logs, Git sync and custom domains also start at Team, which costs about ₹16,500 per builder per month at current exchange rates.
What works well
- +Open-source Community Edition under AGPL-3.0 that you can self-host for free
- +Over 90 data source connectors and 80+ UI components
- +Billed per builder, so you don't pay for each end user
- +Runs on Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP and Azure, which helps meet data residency needs
- +JavaScript and Python execution inside apps for logic beyond drag-and-drop
- +AI app generation, an AI query builder and an MCP server (beta) for coding agents
What to watch out for
- −Prices are in USD only, so the rupee cost moves with the exchange rate
- −Free and Pro cap you at 50 end users and 10 apps
- −SSO, audit logs and Git sync require Team at $199 per builder per month
- −The pricing page shows Team at $199 on the card but $249 a month in the checkout form
- −Free plan support is community Slack only
Best suited for: Engineering teams building internal admin panels and dashboards · Companies that must self-host internal tools on their own cloud · Startups that want a free open-source Retool alternative
