Most low-code tools promise development speed, but they come with trade-offs: hidden fees, user limits, vendor lock-in, forced cloud hosting, and roadblocks the moment you need real customization. m-Power is different. What Makes m-Power Different? Like other low-code tools, m-Power lets your existing team build all types of web applications without specialized skills. Here's where it breaks from the pack: Perpetual Licensing (Yes, Really): m-Power is one of the few remaining low-code platforms that still offers a true perpetual license. Buy it once, own it forever. No rising subscription fees or per-user fees. Self-Hosted, On Your Infrastructure: Run m-Power on-premise or in your own cloud, always over your existing databases. Your data never leaves your environment. No forced migration or vendor sitting between you and your systems. Open Architecture, Full Customization: m-Power is built on open architecture and designed for limitless customization. Extend, modify, and maintain applications inside or outside the platform, with no vendor lock-in. Unlimited Users, Apps, and Data: Grow without restrictions. No costly user tiers, app caps, or data limits to plan around. Enterprise-Grade Output: m-Power generates production-ready, secure, scalable applications that integrate cleanly with the systems you already run. Expert Support and Services: Our support desk is staffed by m-Power experts, not entry-level techs. They'll answer any question, and can even step in to help you deliver projects faster. Need more? Our consulting team delivers turn-key solutions end to end. * * * Seller [mrc](https://www.g2.com/sellers/mrc) Discussions [The m-Power Development Platform Community](https://www.g2.com/products/the-m-power-development-platform/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Steve Hansen (Marketing and Web Director) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 3 months ### Return on Investment 10 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/the-m-power-development-platform/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![AppSheet](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "AppSheet") AppSheet 4.8/5(405) ](https://www.g2.com/products/appsheet/reviews) [ ![Microsoft Power Apps](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Microsoft Power Apps") Microsoft Power Apps 4.3/5(572) ](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-power-apps/reviews) [ ![Ninox](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Ninox") Ninox 4.7/5(362) ](https://www.g2.com/products/ninox/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/the-m-power-development-platform/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 30 real user reviews.

The template based system. Having the template based system made it so easy to migrate from our old reporting system to m-Power. Once you've learned the ins and outs of what each template can do, migrating additional reports is a breeze. Sometimes the templates can't do exactly what you want, so they do allow you to modify the code to be able to get as close as possible to your dream report. We had to migrate from our old system when IBM and the vendor decided it was no longer going to support it. We had hundreds of reports to migrate, but with the template based process, we were able to do this relatively quickly. To the point that I believe we even impressed the team at mrc! But what makes the platform stand out, is the customer support. We've thrown a lot of off the wall questions to the team at mrc. The basic what about doing this, how about that. Sometimes we'd get the you can't do that, but then that would be quickly followed up with a, but you could do this, and your end results would be the same. What I'm seeing with the product is between the reports and applications that you can build, it's only limited by your imagination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The m-Power Development Platform? Like a lot of modular based systems, sometimes I'll forget where we made a tweak or modification. Also because it is a system that you can modify by dragging the widgits or sections around, sometimes you have to be careful that you don't grab something into the wrong position. Not sure if those are true 'dislikes' but more like warnings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The m-Power Development Platform solving and how is that benefiting you? Allowed us to quickly migrate from our old reporting system quickly and easily. Going forward we are able to build out new reports much quicker. I also see additional web applications being built which was outside of why we originally went with the product but I see as a major plus to this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web Developer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/21/2025 "Wish we had this sooner" 5/5 What do you like best about The m-Power Development Platform? m-Power does a fantastic job at putting an interactive, user-friendly face on data. It's straightforward to setup and use as well. There can sometimes be multiple ways to achieve what you're trying to do too, which gives an excellent level of flexibility for creating a solution that's not entirely built from scratch. Parts of the software can be tweaked somewhat to fit your individual needs, and we rarely find ourselves hitting a brick wall in terms of what we can do with it. Our own imagination & software development skills are the only limiter. Thanks to this flexibility, we use m-Power in multiple ways across our company inside and out. Intuitive web apps for things like accounting, reporting, & dashboards/data analysis can be easily conceived and deployed within minutes. We've developed customer-facing web apps with m-Power to streamline our services to serve them better. The support team is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. It’s a really good value overall! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The m-Power Development Platform? Honestly, I can’t think of anything I dislike. There’s a slight learning curve for some of the more advanced features (it’s low-code, not no-code), so I see how that could be a hurdle for someone without much technical background, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty powerful. The built-in templates are solid, but if you want something more than what’s offered in the m-Painter editor, you’ll have to dig into the HTML. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The m-Power Development Platform solving and how is that benefiting you? m-Power allows us to give our customers an interface to the data we provide for them. We've also built dashboards for internal use that give upper management more detailed insight into how certain aspects of the business are performing, and accounting/crediting tools that give our accountants/consultants immediate access to their individual accounts. This drastically improves transparency into the accounting process, and it's helped internal communication tremendously. Building externally accessible reports for our clients has benefitted us by removing the layer of work we do in preparing the data for presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dedicated development environment offers most of the tools that businesses are looking for. Often, if it does not exist out of the box, it can be added. MRC is very responsive to customer feedback. It is nice to work with a company that sincerely wants you to succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The m-Power Development Platform? Sometimes web-based solutions just do not have the options that runtime based application have, but they do offer more flexibility when it comes to device compatibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The m-Power Development Platform solving and how is that benefiting you? We are developing applications that never existed before within our company. We are collecting data from our PLCs and using m-Power to report and analyze the results.

Senior Consultant and Practice Leader Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/1/2023 "Fast and easy web app development and BI visualization for non-programmers !" 4.5/5 What do you like best about The m-Power Development Platform? m-Power provides fast, easy tools for the modestly technically competent person to create new tables, upload data, create reports and visualizaions PLUS create powerful web applications in a low-code/no-code environment. The only programming course I have ever taken was Fortran IV in the late 1970's and yet I was able to accomplish all of the tasks listed here in the first line. The visualizations might not quite be as sexy as PowerBI but m-Power's data import tools, overall ease of use and ability to develop applications over top of the data make m-Power stand out from the crowd. The ability to write-back data is phenomenal - a developer can create a fast app for the end-user to maintain information like budgets for later comparison to actual results. The row-level and user-specific record security is exactly what is needed. Rapid deployment, user-creation and setu-up of the training environment by our VAR (MRC PRODUCTIVITY) was amazing. MRC's online education was very good preparation to hit the ground running for the instructor-led training by a top notch resource dedicated to our team of (6). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The m-Power Development Platform? Some of the visualizations are not as "sexy" as dedicated BI/Analytical tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The m-Power Development Platform solving and how is that benefiting you? We started out thinking about BI/Analytics only but rapidly came to realize the power of the low-code/no-code development environment. We are creating a multi-divisional data warehouse for visualizaton of key data but now will be created secure cross-functional, cross-site inquiries to the consolidated data. This level of transparency currently does not exist today due to multiple, disparate ERP systems generating the raw data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software and Server Support Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/24/2023 "Efficient app development and unprecedented support" 5/5 What do you like best about The m-Power Development Platform? m-Power allows us to meet numerous needs and requirements of our agency where our other software platforms fall short. m-Power allows us to build very basic applications for our users, and at the same time, allows us to create elaborate, functionality-rich applications and systems, depending on the skill set of the developer. The documentation on the MRC website is exceptionally well done and easy to find answers to the issue you're facing. If the answer can't be found in their documentation or published tickets with solutions, they have staff ready and available (and highly competent and friendly) to assist. They also offer their services to build applications when our staff don't have the bandwidth or knowledge, and everything is extremely affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The m-Power Development Platform? While it can be seen as a pro and a con, m-Power is so feature-rich that it is sometimes hard to determine the best approach to building applications. For this reason, we requested a follow-up training to learn more about everything it can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The m-Power Development Platform solving and how is that benefiting you? While we try to stay away from custom-built software, there are always requirements of the business that support development of new applications. We see tremendous benefit in using m-Power as it integrates with many of our existing software systems, is highly scalable, and is very affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You dont need to know Java programming to build web apps. The built-in templates provide most of the basic functionality you will need to create a user friendly web app. Plenty of online documentation and videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The m-Power Development Platform? Even though you dont need to know HTML, it does help to familiarize yourself with HTML because not everything can be done thru the HTML painter. I would have liked to have seen a more drag & drop style of HTML mpainter. That would be easier to move things around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The m-Power Development Platform solving and how is that benefiting you? The need and desire for modern tools and web apps. We run our ERP on the old style "green screen" user interface and are very limited to what we can do. With m-power, we are able to present data in a more user friendly fashion and build useful tools quicker than the traditional programming methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VP Technology & CIO Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 4/6/2022 "Essential tool for any organization - checks all the boxes" 5/5 What do you like best about The m-Power Development Platform? It would not be an overstatement to say I have been waiting for a product like mPower since the 1970s when I first started programming computers. It is a development environment that makes working with databases streamlined, consistent across applications, easily maintainable, and available to both business owners and programmers. It allows simple, low-cost, and secure delivery of applications whether it is to the public or a private community. Security is so important today and mPower makes it so straightforward, flexible and integrated. We chose to build a customer-facing mobile app using mPower over any other platform because of the flexibility and control it offered. Additionally, it was developed in days and not months. We have novice business owners who build mPower apps to access and maintain their data as well as distribute reports. At the same time, we have HTML/Java programmers that build complex, powerful systems incredibly fast. Each of our 2-week sprints accomplishes with one programmer what many development shops would take months to develop. Our developers customize the HTML and/or Java creating very specific and unique user features which make the app so much more valuable and productive for the end-user. And what is truly amazing is that this ability to customize is baked into the mPower environment. The mPower environment allows you to easily build and integrate new templates where you have specific requirements for the behavior/look and feel of your application. And finally, any product is only as good as the vendor's support and vision. MRC provides phenomenal training, support, and professional services when you don't have the internal resources. Their rates are incredibly reasonable. Their goal is always to have you pick up long-term maintenance for anything they develop. They are not in the business of trying to milk you on professional services and support. And their product enhancement is driven by what their customers are asking for and need. When looking to develop any application, mPower should be considered as an option. It checks all the boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The m-Power Development Platform? It is difficult to identify anything I don't like. Certainly, there are additional features and capabilities that I would like to see in mPower, but to date, there is nothing that we haven't been able to accomplish with mPower. As we develop boilerplate customizations, we pass those on to MRC as options for inclusion as part of the standard environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The m-Power Development Platform solving and how is that benefiting you? We originally found mPower when we were looking for an easy-to-use, secure way to deliver forms and database maintenance to our remote users. Our data is stored in an on-premise SQL Server database. We needed a way to give remote users secure and robust access to the data through browser-based applications without opening access to our network. The solution needed to be cost-effective and easy for business owners to build/deliver an application in a day or less. mPower was perfect. Then we realized the true strength of mPower and in the first 6 months of using mPower, we built and delivered: Targeted CRM package for our fleet management group; Lease management system; Licenses and permits management system; Maintenance system for accounting reference tables; Environmental health and safety monthly compliant checklist for 240 service centers; Loyalty customer app for mobile devices; Uniform ordering, tracking, and management system; Application to identify mismatches between vendor invoices and receipt of material information; and several utility applications for our employees in the field. We have realized significant improvement in employee productivity using these systems as well as access to new data points to improve analytics and business decisions.

Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/10/2021 "Using m-Power to provide Sales and Marketing data from several sources to support upper management." 5/5 What do you like best about The m-Power Development Platform? The reporting capabilities of m-Power provides excellent selection and filtering tools and allows the use of subtotals and grand totals within a report. Creating a report is a quick process and provides an interface to use html and ajax to further refine a report. Data selection is SQL based and works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The m-Power Development Platform? m-Power does not interface very well with Target, which is a Unix based system that Kuna uses for our main business processes. To integrate better with m-Power, we created an SQL-Server based data warehouse that is updated daily from Target. m-Power integrates very well with SQL-Server and our reports run fast. Using a data warehouse allows us to collect and store data from multiple sources and m-Power helps us to integrate the data through reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The m-Power Development Platform solving and how is that benefiting you? A major requirement at Kuna was to integrate information stored on Trackmax with data stored on Target. Trackmax is a web based Profit Improvement Software platform that upper management wanted to further integrate with "Deal" data stored on Target. This was a very difficult problem to solve until we loaded a slice of data from Trackmax and from Target to our data warehouse. Using m-Power we developed a number of key reports used by upper management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
