Secure portals your customers and partners can rely on — shipped in weeks, not months

Build branded, secure portals with the same speed you’d build an internal tool — with SSO, role-based access, and full data governance built in.

  • Ship a customer portal in weeks, not quarters

    Go from concept to production with 100+ prebuilt components, native database and API connections, and a visual builder your team can iterate on. No six-month custom build required.

  • Give customers real-time access to their data

    Let customers see account data, performance metrics, and status updates live. Connect to any database or API — customers always see current data, not stale exports or manual refreshes.

  • Govern every external interaction by design

    SAML SSO, MFA, and granular role-based access are built in. Show each user only their own data. Self-host in your VPC for regulated industries. External access is secure by default, not bolted on.

Real impact

Give external users a branded experience — without giving up governance

“If you think about traditional, large enterprise apps—these are really complex to learn, train on, modify. and enhance. When we rolled out Retool, we were able to incorporate user feedback at rocketship speed.”

Everything you need to build, launch, and govern customer-facing portals

End-to-end hosted portal

Managed login, signup, and authentication. Custom domain and branded interface. Granular permission groups controlling per-user data access. Deploy immediately without managing infrastructure.

Embed into your existing product

React and JavaScript SDKs to embed Retool-built components — analytics, forms, dashboards — directly into your existing web app. Pass data bidirectionally between Retool and your frontend.

100+ prebuilt, customizable components

Charts, tables, forms, text inputs, buttons, date pickers, video components, tabbed containers — all configurable with SQL, JS, or Python. Same components as the internal tool builder.

Complete governance and access control

Google SSO, SAML, MFA, and role-based access controls. Show each external user only their own data. Filter app access by permission group. Every action is logged for auditability.

Self-hosting in your VPC

For regulated industries: run Retool in your own infrastructure for full data control. HIPAA-compliant configurations available.

White-label branding

Custom domain integration, branded login pages, and custom onboarding flows so the portal feels like your product, not a third-party tool.

Retool Spaces for external user environments

Dedicated workspaces for external users, separate from internal apps. Manage external user groups with their own data access scope.

Rapid iteration via visual builder

Product managers can update portal features, add fields, and iterate on layout in hours. No engineering sprint required for most changes.
