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.

See our Platform Guide

What to ask before you commit to an app development platform

What is worth knowing before you sign up for an app development platform?

Before signing up, it's crucial to understand 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, offering unlimited-user and unlimited-app options. Watch out for platforms priced per application and per user, where your bill grows on two axes at once instead of one.

What do you need in a low-code platform for predictable costs?

Predictable costs as you add apps and users.

What does Joget deliver in terms of licensing and costs?

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

What deployment flexibility do you need without extra cost?

Deployment flexibility without paying extra to get it.

What deployment options does Joget deliver?

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

What kind of platform do you need for your whole team to build in?

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

What kind of platform does Joget deliver for all users?

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

What do you need for confidence in a transparent platform?

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

What kind of architecture does Joget deliver?

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

What do you need for AI agents without extra billing complexity?

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

What AI capabilities does Joget deliver?

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

What do you need for blockchain-based verification?

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

What blockchain capabilities does Joget deliver?

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

This section addresses the most common questions about Joget. For example, the difference between Joget and Mendix is that both are low-code platforms, but they price and structure access differently. Joget is open source with predictable subscription licensing and flexible deployment, unlike Mendix's per-app/per-user fees and tiered deployment.

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.
