The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Retool prices current?

Retool pricing

Retool publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Entry price: Free
Model: Subscription
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Retool plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Retool pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free	Free	2	Entry tier
Professional	$100/month	2	+$100/month, 2 more features
Business	$500/month	2	+$400/month, 2 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in Survey & Forms

Too few survey & forms tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Retool entry price against other Survey & Forms tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Retool (this page)	Free	subscription	-
Cognito Forms	Free	freemium	-	vs Retool
GetFeedback	On request	quote	-	vs Retool
Gravity Forms	On request	subscription	-	vs Retool

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Retool badges page.

Before you pay for Retool

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $500/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Retool runs on web, self-hosted, and is published by Retool of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Retool review, and the rest of the category is under best survey & forms tools.
