If you value rapid deployment and easy building at the speed of drag and drop, join the thousands of businesses partnering with Tadabase, the #1 Caspio alternative.



Top 5 reasons why customers switch from Caspio to Tadabase
1. Tadabase is easy to use
With its visually intuitive, drag and drop platform, Tadabase makes it easy for non-technical business leaders to build out their applications quickly and with “point and click” ease. Other platforms, such as Caspio’s, require prior knowledge of how data structures work, providing too steep of a learning curve for non-technical builders. And even for builders that do have some technical background, Caspio’s platform requires far more steps to accomplish what is already pre-built in Tadabase and what can simply be dragged and dropped to create a full-functioning application. Tadabase’s ease of use empowers business leaders of all technical levels to deploy their database solutions in hours and days, as opposed to weeks and months.
2. Tadabase will reduce your tech stack
With Pipes, Tadabases's built-in integrations system, you can natively integrate any external data you need into your app without the need for 3rd party integration tools like Zapier, Integromat, or Workato. Integrate external data from all your favorite services directly into your Tadabase app, dynamically and in real-time, without ever having to leave the Tadabase platform. Customers who switched from other no-code platforms report reducing their tech stacks by 80% as well as saving thousands of dollars a month in integration costs by switching to Tadabase.
3. Tadabase is enterprise ready
Tadabase provides enterprises and large organizations with the ability to scale seamlessly and on their own terms. With dedicated servers and private cloud tiers, your business will enjoy the autonomy and peace of mind that comes with unlimited scale, no “noisy neighbors”, and self-manageable dedicated servers. From the convenience of your dedicated server dashboard, your team can self-monitor your app performance and dedicated resources and scale your servers up and down as you see fit.
4. Tadabase apps can be white labeled, for real
Other no-code platforms claim to offer white-label apps but, in truth, their branding is still visible in their customers’ app codes and URLs. This disables customers from ever having truly custom or white-labeled apps. At Tadabase, when we say that our apps are customizable, we mean what we say. A white-labeled app on Tadabase will have zero mention of Tadabase throughout the app code, URL, or design, allowing your consumer-facing app to present entirely as your own or your app built for a client to present entirely as if you built it from scratch.
5. Tadabase is customizable
At Tadabase, we know your business is like no other and that your app should reflect your particular business brand and style. From custom login forms to drag and drop themes to over two dozen unique components, including the Custom Component Designer which empowers you to create your own custom designs, your app design is limited only to your imagination. Gone are the days of sticking square data in round views. With Tadabase, the custom app you envision is just waiting to be built.
