Screenshots & Images
Overview

AppSheet (by Google) is a no-code platform that enables businesses to rapidly build mobile and web apps and automations from spreadsheets, cloud data, or natural-language prompts (Gemini). It provides built-in data storage, UI design, workflows, machine learning/AI features, and enterprise governance so teams can create, share, and manage apps without developers.

Description

AppSheet: Build powerful apps with no code

Supercharge your work with a true no-code platform that lets you create, automate, and govern custom apps and workflows. AppSheet brings AI-powered ideas to life and keeps you in control of your data.

Create with intuitive tools

  • Gemini AI assistant: describe the app you want and let AI generate the app. From idea to working solution in minutes.
  • Four easy starting points:
  • Start with a Blank App
  • Start with Gemini in AppSheet
  • Start with existing data
  • Start with a template
  • No coding required: your data stays in your sources while AppSheet builds rich, deployable apps from spreadsheet-like logic and smart suggestions.

Apps that adapt to how you work

  • Publish and use in Google Chat with one click
  • Capture rich data: forms, barcodes, locations, signatures, photos
  • Store data in AppSheet’s built-in database or in your own data sources
  • Customize features, security, and branding
  • Embed critical apps in Google Docs with Smart Chips for fast access

Automate work that flows

  • Send and automate emails, SMS, and push notifications
  • Build workflow logic with triggers, conditions, and branches
  • Add AI/ML capabilities, including intelligent document processing and OCR
  • Integrate with Google Apps Script functions to power complex processes

Unify your apps and data

  • Deep integration with Google Workspace: Gmail, Sheets, Drive, Docs, Calendar, and Chat
  • Connect to third-party apps like Office 365, Salesforce, Dropbox, and more
  • Centralize data, security, and branding on one platform
  • Advanced data connections: BigQuery, SQL databases, REST APIs, OpenAPI, and more

Govern with assurance

  • Rich governance policies for teams and organizations
  • True no-code development with guardrails and visibility
  • Built-in security controls, encryption, and zero-trust principles
  • You retain full control of your data; AppSheet doesn’t host or own your content

Manage data, people, and app lifecycles

  • Role-based access and domain-based sharing
  • App lifecycle: versioning, collaboration, and publishing
  • Cross-platform experiences: consistent apps on iOS, Android, and web
  • Monitoring and analytics to optimize performance and user experience

Data sources and security

  • Connect to Google Sheets, Google Drive, hosted Excel files, Cloud SQL, Apigee, Azure SQL, AWS, Salesforce, Smartsheet, OData, and more
  • On-device encryption and secure sign-in (Google, Microsoft, Box, Dropbox, and more)
  • Manage users by role, domain, or individual accounts
  • Publisher Pro option for public, non-sign-in apps

Use cases across industries

  • Project management, field operations, and operations

Built my entire SaaS on Bubble — $40k MRR now

I was skeptical about no-code but Bubble proved me wrong. I built a B2B client portal with complex permissions, Stripe billing, and real-time notifications. The learning curve is real — give yourself 2–3 weeks — but once it clicks, you're unstoppable. Performance has been solid at our scale.

Incredibly powerful, but the learning curve is steep

Coming from Webflow, Bubble felt overwhelming at first. The editor UX isn't as polished, and performance on complex apps can feel sluggish. That said, nothing else lets you build a full database-driven app without code. The community forums are excellent — almost every problem has been solved by someone.

Great for MVPs, but pricing scales poorly

Used Bubble to ship our MVP in 6 weeks, which was genuinely impressive. But once we needed real capacity, the jump from Growth to Team ($29 to $529/mo) was brutal for a bootstrapped startup. The server unit model is also confusing to reason about. Would love a mid-tier option.
