Retool enables you to build internal tools, remarkably fast.
Retool is a platform for building internal software, which its homepage title frames as "Build internal software better, with AI." Users can describe an app in a prompt to generate it, build with Retool's MCP server or CLI, or deploy apps built elsewhere, and every app connects to production data sources under existing permissions. Pricing runs across Free, Team, Business and Enterprise plans; paid plans are billed per builder per month, where a builder is a user who created or edited an app or workflow that billing cycle.
Retool says it is "Trusted by 10,000+ teams," and its about page names David Hsu as CEO. It positions what teams build as production-ready, deploying with auth, access controls and audit logging already in place, and markets solutions to supply chain and financial services companies. Apps built in 📝Lovable, 📝Replit and other platforms can be uploaded as a ZIP file or synced from GitHub. The Enterprise plan runs on Retool Cloud, self-hosted or air-gapped, and Business and Enterprise plans support external users such as partners, clients or vendors. Plans include monthly AI credits shared across an account for app building and AI Actions.
