I think Retool is awesome - though last time I think I didn't see a way to allow clients to have access to certain views. We have some databases we'd love to generate views for client access, but we don't need them to have full blown accounts. Is that something on the horizon?

(PM at Retool) Yes! We recently shipped Retool Embed to enable you to build settings pages, dashboards, and UIs in Retool and embed them securely into your client-facing apps. You can learn more about Embed here and sign up for the beta: https://retool.com/products/embed We’re also working on a solution to let you build full-stack client portals in Retool. I’m antony@retool.com if you want to chat!
Love it. Especially for software that is database driven, but not necessarily well exposed to UI concepts, it's been very cool to mock up and play with.
I think this will be a killer feature - thanks guys
We have clients solving this pattern using supabase (storing the client's credentials on supabase and then using RLS) and our open-source solution Windmill to solve this exact problem.
I wish retool had two things, more granular permissions for users on team plan. right now this is reserved for enterprise. I can not simply share only specific apps to certain users.

I wish to be able to pay yearly. We are on a hosted solution.

(Retool employee here.) Based on how we see companies using the different plans, we have a couple of delineations between the monthly and yearly plans. Happy to chat with you about your specific use case and discuss pricing/plan options! I’m tommy@retool.com
