Which one is the best low-code application platform for you?

See the comparison: Joget vs Mendix.

Both platforms build enterprise-grade, production-ready applications. Where they diverge is what happens to the bill, and to who's allowed to build, as your app portfolio grows.

What to ask before you commit to an app development platform

Worth knowing before you sign up.

1

You need

Predictable costs as you add apps and users.

Joget delivers

Subscription licensing that doesn't multiply a per-app fee by a separate per-user fee, with unlimited-user and unlimited-app options available.

Watch out for platforms priced per application, then per user on top, so your bill grows on two axes at once instead of one.

2

You need

Deployment flexibility without paying extra to get it.

Joget delivers

Cloud, on-premise, or hybrid deployment, included at every tier.

Watch out for vendors where self-hosting or on-premise deployment is only unlocked on higher-priced plans, leaving you on their cloud until you pay more.

3

You need

A platform your whole team can build in, not just IT.

Joget delivers

One platform for business users and professional developers alike, with no separate "starter" tool to graduate out of.

Watch out for platforms that once offered a dedicated citizen-developer tool, then merged or retired it in favor of a more developer-led experience.

4

You need

Confidence in the platform itself isn't a black box.

Joget delivers

An open source architecture, core included, not just the extensions and plugins layered on top.

Watch out for platforms that let you extend with your own code while the core engine underneath stays proprietary and closed.

5

You need

AI agents that don't add a third axis to your bill.

Joget delivers

Bring your own AI model key (BYOK), with out-of-the-box RAG and MCP support, and no per-execution fee from the platform itself.

Watch out for platforms where base per-app, per-user licensing costs compound with consumption-based AI fees, meaning scaling AI to more users quickly multiplies your overall bill.

6

You need

A path to blockchain-based verification, if your use case calls for it.

Joget delivers

Blockchain plugins available for use cases like tamper-proof audit trails or verifiable transactions.

Watch out for platforms with no built-in blockchain integration path, meaning you'd need to build and maintain that layer entirely outside the platform.

Worth knowing: PWA & Mobile

Joget ships as responsive, PWA-ready applications and also provides the capability to package the applications as native mobile apps. That covers most enterprise use cases well. If your project specifically needs deep native device integration, such as offline-first sync or hardware-level access, it's worth weighing that as part of your evaluation.

Most Common Questions

What is the difference between Joget and Mendix?

Both are low-code platforms for building enterprise applications, but they price and structure access differently. Mendix charges per application and stacks per-user fees on top, with self-hosted or on-premise deployment only available on its paid Standard and Premium tiers. 

Joget is open source at its core, with predictable subscription licensing and cloud, on-premise, or hybrid deployment included at every tier.

Does Joget's pricing stack per-app and per-user fees?

No. Joget's subscription licensing doesn't multiply a per-application fee by a separate per-user fee. This differs from platforms where app-based and user-based charges stack on top of each other as usage grows, so the bill grows on two axes at once.

Can Joget be deployed on-premise at every pricing tier?

Yes. Cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployment are included as standard at every Joget tier, not reserved for higher-priced plans.

Is Joget accessible to business users without a separate citizen-developer tool?

Yes. Joget uses one platform for business users and professional developers alike. This differs from vendors who once offered a dedicated citizen-developer tool and later merged or retired it in favor of a more developer-led experience.

Is Joget open source?

Yes. The core Joget platform is open source. This differs from platforms that let you extend with your own code while the core engine underneath stays proprietary.

Does Joget charge extra for AI agent usage?

No. Joget supports bring-your-own-model (BYOK) AI with built-in RAG and MCP support, and does not charge a per-execution fee. AI features aren't an additional line stacked onto app-based or user-based pricing.
