Reviewer scorecard
“Built-in database means zero external dependencies for simple CRUD apps. The automation engine is a nice bonus.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“For simple internal tools that need their own database, Budibase's self-contained approach is practical.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“The internal tools market is crowded. Budibase, Appsmith, ToolJet — differentiation is minimal.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
