For the past month I've been working on remaking one of our company's internal apps in ReTool. Retool is definitely "lo-code" and not "no-code": you will need to write a few lines of JS, and more than a few lines of SQL, so you do need an actual developer to do the work. However, I was able to replicate about 90% of the functionality of the existing app in a little over a month working by myself, while the full-fledged React app required a team of 3 and had been ongoing for several years. The downside to the user is that certain kinds of UI polish and more complex behaviors aren't possible. From the developer's side, there is limited ability to share code between apps, so you wind up cutting and pasting a lot, and the work is much more boring that regular dev work. Still, it's a lot less work than building up a regular CRUD app.
