Jet Admin

Overview

Jet Admin is a no-code/low-code platform that lets you build custom business apps like admin panels, CRMs, customer portals, and internal tools without writing code. It connects to your existing databases, APIs, and third-party services, then uses a drag-and-drop builder with 100+ UI components to create pixel-perfect interfaces. AI-powered features let you generate entire apps from text descriptions, query data in plain language, and automate business logic. It supports self-hosting on your own infrastructure for full data control.

Key Features

AI App Generation: Describe what you need in plain text, and Jet AI builds a working app with connected data, logic, and layout instantly. Fine-tune every detail with the no-code editor afterward.
Drag-and-Drop Interface Builder: Build pixel-perfect UIs using 100+ pre-built components including charts, forms, tables, and cards. No design or coding skills required.
50+ Data Integrations: Connect to SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, BigQuery), REST/GraphQL APIs, and business apps like Airtable, Stripe, Zendesk, and Supabase.
Workflow Automation: Create multi-step automated workflows triggered by API calls, schedules, or user actions. Automate approvals, notifications, data syncing, and more.
Customer Portal Builder: Build branded, secure portals where your customers can manage accounts, track orders, view invoices, and submit support requests.
Natural Language Data Queries: Ask questions in everyday language and Jet AI converts them into precise SQL queries. No SQL knowledge needed.
Granular Permissions & Security: Set role-based access rules for pages, data (CRUD), and UI components. Supports SSO (SAML, Okta), 2FA, and audit logs.
Self-Hosting & On-Premise Deployment: Deploy on your own infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) via Docker in about 15 minutes for complete data control.

Pros

Low Learning Curve: Even non-technical team members can get up and running quickly. The drag-and-drop builder is intuitive and doesn't require coding knowledge to produce functional apps.
Strong Data Integration: Connects smoothly to a wide range of data sources including SQL databases, REST APIs, GraphQL, and popular SaaS tools. Data synchronization works reliably across sources.
Flexible Yet Simple: Handles complex app requirements while keeping the builder experience manageable. Apps can scale from simple admin panels to sophisticated multi-source tools.
Fast Time to Production: Users report going from zero to production-ready apps in under a week. AI-powered generation speeds things up even further.
Solid Security Options: Offers 2FA, SSO, role-based access control, and on-premise deployment for organizations that need strict data governance.
Responsive Support Team: Multiple users report that the Jet Admin team is helpful and has even built custom features on request within days.

Cons

Pricing Adds Up Quickly: Per-user pricing for internal tools ($24-$48/user/month) can become expensive as your team grows. Key features like custom code and custom domains are locked behind higher tiers.
Limited Free Plan: The free tier lacks important features such as custom domains, custom code, and advanced integrations, making it hard to evaluate the full platform before committing.
SSO Only on Enterprise Plan: Single Sign-On is restricted to the enterprise tier, which can be a dealbreaker for security-conscious mid-size teams on tighter budgets.

Use Cases

Custom Admin Panels: Build a centralized back-office interface to manage users, application data, settings, and content across multiple systems. Connect directly to your production database and give your operations team full CRUD capabilities without touching the codebase.
Customer-Facing Portals: Create branded, self-service portals where customers can view orders, manage subscriptions, download invoices, and submit support tickets. Scales to hundreds or thousands of users with flat monthly pricing.
Internal CRM Systems: Design a custom CRM tailored to your sales workflow by pulling data from your existing databases and tools like Stripe, HubSpot, or Zendesk. Track leads, manage pipelines, and automate follow-ups without buying an off-the-shelf CRM.
Inventory and Order Management: Build dashboards that track stock levels, automate reorder alerts, and manage purchase orders by connecting to warehouse databases and supplier APIs.
Approval Workflows: Streamline internal processes like expense reporting, vacation requests, or content publishing with multi-step automated approval flows that notify the right people at each stage.
Vendor and Partner Portals: Give external partners secure, limited access to relevant data and tools. Set granular permissions so vendors only see what they need, all without building a separate app from scratch.

Jet Admin connects to 50+ data sources including SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery), REST and GraphQL APIs, and business applications like Airtable, Stripe, Zendesk, Supabase, and Xano. It also has its own built-in Jet Database.

Can I self-host Jet Admin?

Yes. Jet Admin can be deployed on your own infrastructure, behind your VPN, in your own VPC on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. Setup is done via Docker and takes approximately 15 minutes. On-premise deployment is available on the Enterprise plan.

How much does Jet Admin cost?

Internal tool plans start at $24/user/month (billed yearly) for the Starter plan and $48/user/month for the Pro plan. Customer portal plans use flat monthly pricing starting at $39/month for up to 500 users, going up to $649/month for the Enterprise tier. Custom enterprise pricing is also available.

Do I need coding skills to use Jet Admin?

No. Jet Admin is designed for users of all technical backgrounds. The drag-and-drop builder and AI app generator let you create functional applications without writing code. However, the Pro plan and above do allow you to add custom code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and build custom components using React or Angular for advanced use cases.

How does Jet Admin's AI feature work?

Jet AI, powered by GPT-4, lets you describe an app in plain language and generates a working application with connected data, business logic, and UI design. It can also generate SQL queries from natural language, create UI components automatically, and build custom workflow logic.

What's the difference between internal tool and customer portal pricing?

Internal tools are priced per user per month, since they're typically used by a smaller number of employees. Customer portals use flat monthly pricing that covers groups of users (starting at 500), since portals typically serve large numbers of external customers, partners, or vendors.
