Out of curiosity, why did you feel appsmith was better than budibase and retool - as a no-code platform?

Appsmith just clicked for me. It just feels nicer to work with appsmith than retool, for example.

I don't think it is just the capabilities of the three tools, I guess they are comparable. Retool has been around for a while, gets a ton of praise, raised a lot of money too (I don't know these info about budibase). It is just that appsmith feels nicer to work with, even though the UI is quite similar to retool.

I know appsmith's support is very very good, I have no clue about the other two.

I am sorry I am not able to give you a concrete answer, beyond the vague I like it :( I guess there might be others who think appsmith sucks and retool rocks. It is one of those things where some people like some UI and the other people hate the same. Another example is clickup, I like the tool in general (I do have complaints) and I pay for it but there are lots of people who hate it.
