Nine SQLite GUI tools, grouped by the job they do well, with the point where each one stops and a quick way to choose.
Superblocks charges $125 flat for up to 15 builders. Retool charges per builder and per internal user. But Superblocks has no free tier and meters apps and AI units.
Gumloop is agent-first now, with workflows labelled "Legacy" and no free tier. The subscription is the small part: credits at $0.005 plus an 8% orchestration fee, or 16% if you bring your own key.
Make meters credits — one per module action — and its pricing page shows annual rates by default, so Core is $10.59 monthly, not the $9 you first see. Two things to settle before you budget.
Google Forms is free with any Google account and does not cap responses — which makes most paid form tools a purchase of presentation rather than capability. Three limits decide whether it fits.
Supabase publishes every overage rate, which is rare and good. Three things the headline prices hide: free projects pause after a week, Pro's $25 includes just $10 of compute, and Team's $599 buys certifications.
DronaHQ charges for activity, not headcount — unlimited users on every plan, metered at $0.002 a task. That inverts the internal-tools norm, and it makes the entry price misleading in both directions.
Glide is the easiest no-code app builder to get started with. The thing to understand before committing is that Glide Classic and GlideOS are now separate products with separate pricing and no migration path.
Softr is one of the easiest no-code platforms to get a portal live with, and its ratings reflect that. The limits worth checking before you commit are app users, builders and database records.
Airtable can model almost any business process, and reviewers love it for that. The two things to check first are the learning curve and what happens to your bill when read-only users need access.
