Thanks for checking out Toolpad.

I agree that Retool and a few others are ahead in this category. Like them, we also have a drag-and-drop UI builder that makes them a competitor. But we see Toolpad as a more code-friendly alternative that can be directly imported into an existing codebase. Toolpad supports extending your existing backend functions to the canvas and ensures that a single source of business logic exists.

Retool, and others are SaaS tools that are good initially but can get pricey quickly as an org scales.
