Tooljet alternative with shared data and autonomous agents
Both platforms build internal tools. RootCX goes further: one shared database across all apps, autonomous AI agents, and code you can export and hand off to a client.
Tooljet is a capable visual builder with a workflow engine, 80+ integrations, and SOC 2 certification. RootCX is built for shared data across apps, autonomous AI agents, and full code ownership.
- •You want a visual builder with 80+ pre-built connectors
- •You need SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification today
- •Workflow automation (triggers, conditions, loops) is enough for your needs
- •Each app can have its own separate database
- •You need all your apps sharing one database per project
- •You want autonomous agents, not just workflow triggers
- •You build with Claude Code or Cursor, not just visual editors
- •You need to export code and hand the complete stack to a client
- •You prefer an Apache-compatible license over AGPL v3
What you get with RootCX
Shared database across apps
All your apps and agents share one PostgreSQL database per project. In Tooljet, each app has its own built-in database with no cross-app data sharing.
Autonomous agents, not just workflows
RootCX agents act on their own: updating records, chasing approvals, following up with customers. Tooljet has a workflow builder for triggers and automations, but no autonomous agent runtime.
Build with any tool, not just visual editors
Use Claude Code, Cursor, or RootCX Studio. Tooljet requires you to build inside their visual editor or code within their platform.
No low-code ceiling
Tooljet is a visual builder. When you need something outside their component model, you are stuck. RootCX is real code. No abstraction layer, no flexibility limit.
Where RootCX and Tooljet diverge
One database for every app, not one per app
Tooljet gives each app its own built-in PostgreSQL database. Build five apps, you get five separate databases. No cross-app queries, no shared data layer.
RootCX shares one PostgreSQL database across every app and agent in a project. Your billing app and your CRM agent read and write to the same tables. No glue code, no data syncing between databases.
Autonomous agents, not just triggered workflows
Tooljet has a visual workflow builder with event triggers, conditions, loops, and parallel processing. It is good for automating sequences of steps across systems.
RootCX agents go further. They act autonomously: updating records, chasing approvals, following up with customers based on context. They follow the same RBAC as your team. Every action is logged. They reach your team on Slack, Telegram, or email.
Your code, not a visual config
Tooljet apps are built inside the Tooljet platform using their visual editor or inline code. The apps live in Tooljet. You cannot export them as standalone, portable code.
RootCX generates standard, readable code. You can open it in any editor, version it in Git, hand the complete stack to a client. If you leave RootCX, your code and data come with you.
Build with any tool, not just the built-in editor
Tooljet offers three pathways: AI-first, visual no-code, or code within their platform. All three require building inside Tooljet.
RootCX works with the tools you already use. Build with Claude Code from your terminal, Cursor in your editor, or RootCX Studio on your desktop. The infrastructure is the same regardless of how you build.
