About Retool
Retool is a platform for building internal software, including admin panels, dashboards, workflows and business apps. Its newer app builder lets a user write a prompt, reference connected data with an at sign, and receive a full application with authentication, access controls and audit logging already in place. Apps can also be built from outside by AI agents through an MCP server or command line tool, and code generated in other builders such as Lovable or Replit can be imported by uploading a ZIP file or syncing a GitHub repository.
The platform is aimed at engineering and operations teams that need apps connected to production databases, APIs and language models while keeping permissions and governance under central control. Retool also promotes a harness for running and governing AI agents, listed as early access.
Pricing is per user each month. The Free plan costs nothing, includes up to five users and 250 pooled AI credits per month. Team is listed at $10 per builder and $5 per internal user, with 1,000 pooled AI credits and a discount shown for annual billing. Business is listed at $50 per builder and $15 per internal user. Enterprise pricing is custom. A builder is a user who created or edited an app or workflow in the billing cycle, and external users are priced separately.
