Budibase

Budibase is an open source platform for building enterprise business processes, internal applications, AI agents, and automations that run on a team own infrastructure or in Budibase Cloud. The homepage presents three building blocks side by side: apps that give people an interface to request, review, and complete work, agents that handle requests using the team data, tools, and approval rules, and automations that sync data and run repeatable tasks across connected systems. A worked example on the homepage shows how the pieces fit together. Employees submit purchase requests with items, supplier, and cost. Requests are routed automatically to the right approvers based on approval rules, employees are notified when more information is needed or a decision is made, and approved requests can be passed to a purchasing system to create the purchase order. The example combines a request form, an app, a purchasing agent, an approval inbox, a service portal, team notifications, and an API connection, which illustrates the request, review, and completion pattern the platform is built around. Deployment and control are central to the pitch. Teams can run Budibase Cloud with hosting, updates, and maintenance managed by Budibase, or self host across private cloud, on premise, and air gapped environments to meet architecture and policy requirements. Access can be controlled with granular roles, permissions, single sign on, and SCIM, and roles, permissions, audit history, and platform controls are managed centrally. The homepage highlights security and compliance support for regulated environments, including an independently audited ISO 27001 information security management system, GDPR support through deployment choice, container images available through Iron Bank, and human oversight and approval policies for controlled AI actions. The pricing page compares self hosted and cloud options in qualitative tiers. A community open source option provides a complete platform that teams run on their own infrastructure, with unlimited users and unlimited apps, agents, automations, and requests, plus standard single sign on. A cloud option provides managed hosting with included creator and end user allowances and monthly action and AI credit allowances, with add on creators and end users available on eligible configurations. An enterprise option is a custom package with extended activity, audit logs and backups, enterprise identity and access controls, flexible deployment including air gapped environments, and dedicated support, onboarding, training, and service level agreements. Cloud pricing is based on actions, which the vendor defines as the work agents, apps, and automations perform, and cloud allowances act as hard monthly limits. Teams should prototype a real approval workflow before rolling it out widely.
