Budibase is an open-source low-code platform for building internal tools, workflows and AI agents, fully self-hostable. Under workspace connection settings you add credentials for the provider you want, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, OpenRouter or Groq, before any AI feature or agent can run, so every call uses the key you supplied rather than a pooled one. Self-hostable through Docker or Kubernetes. Licensing is split across the builder, server and client components, with some agent features under a Business Source License. 28,202 stars, last commit within a day of review.

Why this trust score (74/100)

Trust measures how the tool treats your API key and how much of that has been verified. It contains no popularity signal.

  • Key Safety 21/25: The key lives in a deployment you run yourself.
  • Request Routing 17/20: Requests go straight from you to the AI provider.
  • Transparency 15/20: Source is public, though the licence is unclear or non-standard.
  • Privacy 10/15: Can be self-hosted, so the data path stays inside infrastructure you control.
  • Maintenance 10/10: Actively developed: commits within the last three months.
  • Verification Confidence 1/10: Compiled from public documentation by an AI-assisted pass, not independently confirmed.

How your API key is handled

You self-host the app, so your API key lives in your own deployment. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider. Because it can be self-hosted, your key never has to touch a third-party backend.

Setup

Deploy it (Docker/compose), add your provider API key in the admin or environment config, then select models.
