What ToolJet is
ToolJet is a platform for building internal tools and business applications. Teams can create screens, connect data queries, define application logic, and set permissions. ToolJet AI can turn a plain-language request into a working app draft, with components linked to queries. Workflow automation supports data syncing, approval triggers, scheduled jobs, and notifications. ToolJet lists more than 100 native connectors and accepts REST or gRPC endpoints. Each workspace includes ToolJet Database, a no-code table editor built on PostgreSQL.
Security options include SAML, OIDC, and LDAP single sign-on, role-based permissions, and workspace audit logs. ToolJet says it uses TLS for data in transit and AES-256-GCM to encrypt data source credentials. Its Trust Center provides SOC 2 audit information and ISO 27001 and GDPR resources. Community and enterprise editions can be deployed on-premise, including in an air-gapped environment. ToolJet is available through web, API, and self-hosting. Cloud plans include a free tier, with paid plans from $23 per builder per month and a 14-day trial. Free and Basic cloud users receive community support through Slack; Pro includes email support.
