Q: What’s the difference between standard users and end users? How do I determine user types?

User types are based on user activity:A standard user is a user that edited an app or workflow during the billing cycle.An end user is a user that didn't edit an app or workflow during the billing cycle. You can restrict end users from making edits via the permission controls (available on Business and Enterprise plans).More about billing and usage →

Frequently asked questions

You can build web apps, mobile apps, AI-powered apps, and custom logic and automations in Retool. Retool’s platform makes it fast and easy to connect any datastore or API, build business software, and securely share what you've built with users—all in one place.

Developers are the most common builders in Retool. It usually takes a developer around 10 minutes to understand how Retool works, and another hour for it to feel natural.

But anyone who knows SQL can learn to build pretty quickly. (Many of Retool’s most active builders were once non-technical end users!)

If you need native performance and mobile-specific features, build a mobile app using Retool Mobile. These apps run natively on iOS and Android.

More about mobile apps

If you’re looking to build browser-based apps, build a web app. (Retool’s web apps only support mobile layouts.)

More about web apps

User types are based on user activity:

A standard user is a user that edited an app or workflow during the billing cycle.
An end user is a user that didn't edit an app or workflow during the billing cycle. You can restrict end users from making edits via the permission controls (available on Business and Enterprise plans).

More about billing and usage

All plans are available as either:

A cloud version (that means Retool hosts)
Self-hosted (that means you host).

To get other people to use your app, simply invite them to join your Retool organization.

If your organization has stringent data requirements, you can deploy Retool on-premises in your own VPC with the self-hosted plan. Set up via Docker and get up and running in about 15 minutes. Except for a license check that happens every six hours, Retool doesn't require any external data connectivity.

To get started, sign up for the plan that works for you or schedule a setup call.

Retool offers the levels of security, reliability, and access controls that the most regulated enterprises require, along with the flexibility, choice, and customization that developers need.

For more information, read Retool’s security documentation.
