Internal is a no-code and low-code platform that empowers teams to securely build custom internal tools, such as admin dashboards and support utilities, by connecting to their existing business data and APIs.

Try it out

Internal is a platform designed to accelerate the creation of custom internal applications for businesses. It primarily serves operations, customer support, and product teams who need tools like admin panels, CRMs, or support dashboards but lack dedicated engineering resources. Users can connect to databases, APIs, and SaaS applications (like Salesforce or Stripe) and then use a drag-and-drop interface to build a functional UI. The unique value proposition is its hybrid approach, offering a no-code experience for quick builds by non-developers, while also providing low-code capabilities with custom JavaScript for more complex logic. This frees up engineering teams from building and maintaining internal tools, allowing them to focus on core product development.

Pros

  • Rapidly build and launch functional tools in minutes or hours, not weeks.
  • Extensive library of native connectors for databases, APIs, and popular SaaS platforms.
  • Granular, role-based access controls (RBAC) to ensure data security and appropriate user permissions.
  • Combines a simple drag-and-drop UI for non-coders with the ability to write custom JavaScript for complex logic.
  • Auto-generates a user interface based on your data source, providing a strong starting point for tool creation.

Cons

  • Per-user pricing on paid plans can become expensive for large organizations, particularly with many read-only users.
  • While powerful, building highly complex, multi-step workflows can introduce a significant learning curve.
  • The UI is utilitarian and may lack the deep customization options of a fully custom-coded front-end.
  • As a hosted platform, users are dependent on Internal's infrastructure for uptime and performance.
