Reviewer scorecard
“Built-in database means zero external dependencies for simple CRUD apps. The automation engine is a nice bonus.”
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“For simple internal tools that need their own database, Budibase's self-contained approach is practical.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
“The internal tools market is crowded. Budibase, Appsmith, ToolJet — differentiation is minimal.”
“Google's data advantage and multimodal-first approach make Gemini a serious contender in the model race.”
