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.
