Build in Retool, import from tools like Claude Code, Replit, or Lovable, or connect via MCP. However your team builds, every app ships safely, with governance built in. People across your organization are already vibe-coding internal tools with no SSO, no RBAC, no audit logs, and no connection to your existing data controls. Retool is where secure vibe coding happens by default. Build from scratch, import an app from another AI builder, or connect an agent via MCP — governance lives in the platform, not in each individual app. The Problem Retool Solves AI made it fast to build software. It didn't make that software safe to run. Business teams are shipping working apps in hours, but those apps typically land with no access controls, no audit trail, and no visibility for IT — until something breaks or a security review stalls the whole thing. Retool closes that gap instead of leaving teams to choose between speed and safety. Key Capabilities - AI-native app builder: Describe what you need in natural language, or drag in a screenshot, PDF, or design file. Get a full, production-ready app, not a prototype. - Import from anywhere: Already building in Lovable, Replit, or straight React? Import the app and pick up Retool's data connections, permissions, and governance automatically. - Build via MCP: Connect any AI coding agent to Retool through MCP. Generate an app from your terminal, deploy it straight onto a governed platform. - Protected by default: Every app inherits RBAC, SSO, secrets management, and audit logging the moment it's created — no matter where it was built. - Deploy on your infrastructure: Cloud, self-hosted, or hybrid. Retool runs wherever your compliance requirements demand. Why Retool's Different Most AI app builders get you to a working prototype. Most governance tools get bolted on after the fact, once IT finds out what's already running. Retool puts the two together: apps are built fast and land production-ready, with security enforced at the platform level instead of chased down app by app. That's what makes secure vibe coding possible at enterprise scale, not just on paper. Who Uses Retool Engineering, IT, and operations teams use Retool to let business teams build without opening a ticket, while IT keeps full visibility into what's running, who has access, and what changed. Companies including Amazon, Stripe, DoorDash, Boeing, Adobe, Brex, Pfizer, and OpenAI run on Retool to build and govern internal applications, including apps generated with AI. Outcome Teams ship vibe-coded apps to production without a separate security review, because the governance was never missing in the first place.

Being able to deploy it inside of our own cluster has been great, and it's easy and quick to create apps that help internal business processes. We actually really, really like the core product offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Retool? We have only 5 users that need to use the tool, but importantly we want 4 of them to just be able to view apps we've created, not edit them. This becomes really important because we are in a data-regulated industry and so we don't want them to be able to have edit/unrestricted read access to our production database, which is what allowing them to edit apps would essentially be. To accomplish this seemingly simple ask (we're not looking for advanced permission groups - literally just a way to prevent unrestricted database access) - we were quoted many, many tens of thousands of dollars on their enterprise plan. I found this insulting and really quite stunning that such an important product requirement is an "enterprise" usecase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
