Overview
Retool Workflows is a low-code platforms tool that workflow runtime from the retool team. It has been on the market for years and serves a specific class of users well — though it is not a fit for every team.
What we like

How it compares to Automatite
Automatite differs from Retool Workflows in three key ways: AI steps as a first-class primitive, real workflow versioning with branches and diffs, and a pricing model designed for high-volume runs. If those matter to your team, Retool Workflows may not be the right fit.
That said, Retool Workflows is a solid choice for teams that match its sweet spot: engineering teams that already use retool internal apps.
