Kreuzstrasse 60, Zurich, Switzerland
What it is
Protogrid is a low-code platform for creating business database and workflow applications tailored to an organization’s needs. When users create an application, its database system automatically creates views and arranges data. Apps can work offline, store relevant information locally, and synchronize after an internet connection returns. Each application supports multiple languages, with the ability to add or edit translations.
Features include relational data models, attachments, PDF output, JavaScript extensions, automated calculations, and a workflow engine. External systems can read and write application data through a JSON API; listed integrations also include OpenID Connect and Active Directory. Read and write permissions can be configured individually for each app, Proto, and Card, and the platform lists risk-based authorization and step-up authentication. The maker says it is hosted by Hetzner in Germany and describes automatic backups and card mutation history. Protogrid is free for up to two users with any number of applications. Evaluation is limited to 12 months and does not assure availability. Enterprise costs $100 a month per environment, plus $1 per environment user per month and $10 per app user per month.
