Low-code, explained
What is a low-code platform?
A low-code platform lets teams build software by assembling visual components and configuring logic instead of writing every line of code. Developers still write code where it matters, such as a query, a transformation or a custom component, while the platform handles the interface, data connections, access control and deployment.
Low-code and no-code differ in who they are for. No-code platforms aim at people who will not write code at all and trade flexibility for simplicity. Low-code platforms keep code available, so an app can start as a drag-and-drop build and grow custom logic later.
ToolJet is an open-source low-code platform with AI on top. ToolJet AI generates the first version of an app from a prompt, a coding agent can build through the ToolJet MCP server, and everything stays editable in the visual builder. Non-developers can start from a prompt, and developers keep code-level control.
AI-native
Generate multi-page apps from a prompt with ToolJet AI, or build from Claude Code, Codex or Cursor through the MIT-licensed MCP server.
Open source
The Community Edition is licensed under AGPL-3.0, with more than 40,000 GitHub stars, and self-hosts from the free plan.
Code when you need it
Add JavaScript or Python queries for custom logic, and build custom UI components when the visual layer is not enough.

No engineering ticket needed
Describe the tool you need. ToolJet builds it.
Type what you want in plain language. ToolJet generates the pages, queries and logic as a working app. Connect your data, set who can see what, and review the generated logic before publishing. Edit the app on the canvas afterwards.
- Working app, not a mockup
- Review access rules before publishing
- Free to start, per-builder pricing

What teams build on a low-code platform
Most low-code apps are internal: the tools a business runs on but never staffs a product team for.
Dashboards and reporting
Live views over your warehouse and databases, filtered by team, with actions wired to queries.
Approval workflows
Multi-step approvals with thresholds, role-gated actions, notifications and a decision record.
Customer and partner portals
Scoped views for external users through SSO or invited access, embeddable and white-labelled.
Back-office applications
Reconciliation tools, admin panels and approval apps on your ERP, databases and spreadsheets.
Workflows and AI agents
On Self-hosted, automate processes with scheduled or webhook-triggered workflows and AI agent nodes.
How building on ToolJet works
- 01
Connect your data
100+ native connectors plus any REST, gRPC or GraphQL API, or start on ToolJet Database, the built-in database in every workspace.
- 02
Generate or assemble the app
Describe it to ToolJet AI, build it from a coding agent through the MCP server, or drag components onto the canvas.
- 03
Add code where it matters
Write JavaScript or Python queries and transformations, and build custom components for anything the library does not cover.
- 04
Release under your controls
Set permissions, promote through environments with Git sync, and keep audit logs of who changed what.
Compared
Low-code vs no-code vs traditional development
Three ways to get an internal application built, and where a low-code platform like ToolJet sits between them.
| Feature | Low-code with ToolJet | No-code | Traditional development |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who builds | Developers, and business users starting from a prompt | Business users | Software engineers |
| How an app gets built | Generate or assemble the app, then add code only where needed | Configure templates and visual rules | Every screen, query and permission is written by hand |
| Custom logic | JavaScript and Python queries; custom UI components | Limited to what the platform exposes | Anything, all in code |
| Data sources | 100+ connectors, any REST, GraphQL or gRPC API, and ToolJet Database | The platform's built-in connectors | Whatever you integrate yourself |
| Hosting | ToolJet Cloud or self-hosted, with an open-source Community Edition | Usually the vendor's cloud | You run everything |
| Governance | SSO, granular permissions, audit logs and Git sync on paid plans | Varies by vendor | Built separately for each application |
The no-code and traditional development columns describe the general approaches; individual products and teams vary. For vendor-by-vendor detail, see the comparison pages.

Built in, not bolted on
Low-code with the controls your IT team expects
Identity, permissions and audit apply to every app, whether a person built it on the canvas or an agent built it from a prompt. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR.
Single sign-on and SCIM
SAML, OpenID Connect and LDAP on Team and above, with SCIM provisioning on Enterprise.
Permissions down to the query
Workspace, app, page, component and query-level access, with row-level security where the data needs it.
Audit logs and SIEM export
Platform events with actor, resource and timestamp; configurable retention; export to your SIEM.
Runs where you say
Choose managed ToolJet Cloud or self-host in your VPC or on-premise. Air-gapped deployment requires the Self-hosted Enterprise air-gapped add-on.
Security and governance features vary by plan. Workflows and Agent Builder are available on Self-hosted only; BYOK is a Self-hosted Enterprise add-on. Compare plan availability.

Talk about a projectQuestions teams ask before they start
Can an AI-native low-code platform support custom code?
Yes. In ToolJet, AI app generation, the visual builder and custom code work on the same app. Add JavaScript or Python queries, extend the UI with custom components and connect services through APIs or custom connectors. Claude Code and Codex can also compose native apps through the MIT-licensed ToolJet MCP server without consuming ToolJet AI credits.
Can we build AI agents and automated workflows with ToolJet?
Yes, on Self-hosted deployments. Workflows support scheduled, webhook and app triggers, data-source operations and JavaScript logic; Agent Builder adds AI agent nodes. ToolJet Cloud supports AI app generation, but Workflows and Agent Builder are not available on Cloud. Choose the deployment and plan for the capabilities you need.
What is a low-code platform?
A low-code platform is software for building applications mostly through visual components and configuration, with code reserved for the parts that need it. It handles the interface, data connections, permissions and deployment, so teams ship internal applications faster than writing each one from scratch.
What is the difference between low-code and no-code?
No-code platforms are built for people who will not write code and limit you to what the platform exposes. Low-code platforms keep code available: you build visually, then add custom logic in a language such as JavaScript or Python where you need it. ToolJet is low-code, and its AI app generation lets non-developers start from a prompt.
Is ToolJet an open-source low-code platform?
Yes. The ToolJet Community Edition is open source under AGPL-3.0 and its MCP server is MIT-licensed. You can self-host it for free or use ToolJet Cloud; paid plans add features such as SSO, audit logs and Git sync.
Do I need to know how to code to use ToolJet?
No. Describe the app and ToolJet builds a working version on your data, which you refine on the canvas. Developers can extend apps in JavaScript or Python, build custom components, or build from a coding agent through the ToolJet MCP server.
Can I self-host a low-code platform?
With ToolJet, yes. It runs on Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or on-premise, and self-hosting is available on the Free, Team and Enterprise plans. Air-gapped deployment requires the Self-hosted Enterprise air-gapped add-on.
What can I build with ToolJet?
Internal tools such as admin panels, dashboards, approval workflows, support consoles and back-office apps, plus customer and partner portals. On Self-hosted deployments you can also build workflows and AI agents.
How is ToolJet priced?
Pricing is per builder, not per user. Every plan includes an end-user allowance and Enterprise includes unlimited end users. The pricing page lists the allowance on each plan.
