Zoho Creator alternative

AI database, no scripting, and the rest of the stack Zoho Creator leaves to you.

Zoho Creator is the application-building layer of the Zoho ecosystem: define a schema, build forms and views on top, write Deluge scripts for business logic, and deploy custom apps (with auto-generated mobile apps). It's powerful if you live in Zoho, and free inside Zoho One. But Deluge skills don't transfer anywhere else. TinyTables is an AI database where intelligence lives in the data itself (per-row AI columns, enrichment, and AI agents on TinyGPT or your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini key), natively connected to forms, workflows, email, and agents, with no proprietary scripting.

Where it fits

A database is only as useful as what flows in and out.

TinyTables sits in the middle of the stack: forms write to it, workflows act on it, agents read it, email sends from it.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you switch.

How is TinyTables different?

+

Three concrete things: built-in enrichment (company, person and email look-ups per row), tight integration with forms / workflows / agents / email in the same product, and a real database under the grid, with linked tables, rollups and six views of the same records: Grid, Kanban, Calendar, Gallery, Gantt and Form.

Can I import my existing data?

+

Import a CSV or Excel file into TinyTables. There is no one-click importer that connects to another tool's account, so export your data first, or have our team rebuild your setup for you. Live within a week.

What's in the free tier?

+

1,000 credits a month, free forever, for one seat. Building tables never costs a credit; credits pay for automated work like workflow steps, look-ups and AI agents. Basic ($19/mo) and Professional ($49/mo) add credits and team seats.

How does the built-in enrichment work?

+

An enrichment column looks up each row, on demand or on every new row, and writes the result back. Look up a company for 10 credits, a person for 20, find an email for 10, verify an email for 5. No match, no charge. Same everyday job as a separate Clay or Apollo subscription, built in.

Is it a real database?

+

Yes. TinyTables is a real database under the grid, with linked tables and rollups, and you can switch the same records between grid, kanban, calendar, gallery, Gantt and form views.
