In their words
- Claude“Appsmith (Apache 2.0) or ToolJet (AGPL) — both mature CRUD/dashboard builders with AI features bolted on.”
- ChatGPT“| Open-source/self-hosted priority | Appsmith or Budibase | Appsmith is open-source and can be self-hosted; Budibase is also open-source and focused on internal tools/workflow automation with AI-powered workflows and self-hosting options.”
- Perplexity“If you want the best overall open-source AI app builder to self-host, Appsmith is the safest default choice for most teams because it has a mature Apache-2.0 license, broad self-hosting options, and is repeatedly identified as the strongest open-source self-hosted option in recent 2026 roundups.”
