Appsmith
Appsmith is an open-source low-code platform that uses drag-and-drop components, JavaScript for custom logic, and Git-based versioning to build internal apps. It connects to databases, APIs, and language models, supports cloud or self-hosted deployments, and outputs deployable internal applications with CI/CD and embedding options.
Appsmith documents a Free tier, a Business cloud tier priced per user monthly, and an Enterprise offering billed as a seat bundle with optioned add-ons for airgapped and managed hosting.Is Appsmith right for you?
Good for
- Developer-led teams building internal apps that want open-source code, Git workflows, and the option to self-host.
- Open-source Community Edition available under a permissive license.
- Connects to many backend systems including language models, databases, SaaS, REST and GraphQL APIs.
Keep in mind
- Air-gapped deployment is listed as an add-on rather than a standard included feature.
- Free cloud tier is limited to small teams (up to 5 users).
- Confirm procurement terms for air-gapped deployments and managed-hosting add-ons before purchase, since air-gapped edition and some hosted options are add-ons for higher tiers.
Pricing and plan limits
The linked official pages list specific prices for Free, Business ($15 / Month per user) and Enterprise ($2,500 / Month for 100 users) and note Business monthly billing and Enterprise typically billed annually; some add-ons are marked separately.
