DronaHQ offers multiple pricing plans including usage-based and developer-only (unlimited users) options. Users get core app development features like SSO, environments, custom app domain and branding, right from the Business plan itself.

Budibase alternative for Web + Mobile apps
DronaHQ gives a visual tool to drag, drop, and configure pre-built UI components on a canvas to design front-ends. Users get to choose between an advanced layout editor and a freeflow WYSIWYG editor that allows them to create absolute UI vs relative positioning using Budibase’s complex point-and-click interface.
Integrate data without knowing JS
Unlike Budibase where users need to dive in and write JS for everything, DronaHQ supports simple Excel-like formulas to integrate data to UI and only when push comes to shove do we open up the world of JS. 70+ ready connectors to databases and SaaS apps, DronaHQ database, and anything with a REST, GraphQL, or gRPC API.
Visually build Actionflows
DronaHQ provides a visual flowchart-based interface to build the actionflows, however complex they may be for a variety of on-screen events. These actionflows support server-side (Screen navigation, logical branching) as well as client-side (DB queries, API calls) operations which makes building stunning experiences possible.
Deliver pixel-perfect UI
Despite being low-code, there are times when a visually appealing, pixel-perfect UI is essential. Budibase lacks an editor for this purpose, while DronaHQ provides comprehensive visual CSS properties and a custom UI control designer.
DronaHQ forms are more powerful
DronaHQ has more powerful form controls with offline support and advanced conditional logic and rules and validations and native support like barcode scanners etc. for field form usecases
Almost all internal tools need forms and DronaHQ scores hands down over Budibase here.
DronaHQ out of the box add-ons
DronaHQ provides add-ons like Automation, DronaHQ Database, Storage* and PDF Creator out of the box which means more usecases are covered without leaving the platform.
All mature apps need these and Budibase Alternative DronaHQ provides a single click access.
What makes DronaHQ a better custom app builder?
✓ Truly enterprise-grade apps
✓ Superior end-user experience
✓ 24 x 7 engineering support
✓ Flexible pricing options
“With other low-code platforms, we could make standard internal apps, but when we needed to scale to 1000+ users, DronaHQ helped us deliver richer, more robust experiences that exceeded our expectations.”
