What are your thoughts about WeWeb and Retool?

Can anyone tell me how Weweb compares to Retool? Which is easier to use and advanced? Struggling to find much info online. Thanks

    Hi Erika 👋

    I work at WeWeb so definitely biased but hopefully my answer is helpful!

    Retool has more native integrations with data sources like Cassandra, Datadog, and Front for example. For non-engineers like myself, the UI builder is a little hard to wrap your head around to start with.

    WeWeb has native integrations with no-code data sources like Airtable, Supabase, and Xano as well as a REST API plugin which you can use to get data from other APIs. The page builder is more intuitive for non-engineers, especially if you're already used to no-code platforms like Webflow.

    I hope that helps!

    I realize you posted a while back if if you'd like to share what you're working on, don't hesitate to reach out! 🙂

    I think weweb is more for external sites, while Retool is internal.

      This is my impression as well.

      Thanks. Have you tried either before?

        I used Retool, seemed like a lot of hard work for little results. But that was few years ago.

          Oh I see. But what did you liked about it? What did you make out of it btw

            Nothing, i couldn't get it to work.

            Overly complex.

              It seems like it. I've watched one of their demo videos. Are you still exploring no-code space?
