// EDITOR'S TAKE
Budibase is the closest match: point it at a sheet or a database and you get a working app with forms, roles and automations. NocoDB provides the data layer and basic views but not Glide's polished app shell, while Plasmic is the pick when design control matters more than speed and you will wire up the backend yourself.
