The short version

  • Only ToolJet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Procreate Dreams requires iPadOS 16.3 and is exclusive to iPad; track capacity varies by device, with the base iPad (A16) limited to 1 track at up to 4K; ToolJet free and Pro tiers cap end users at 50, which may be too low for apps needing broad internal distribution.
