Choosing a **low-code platform for your company** comes down to who will maintain it after launch. If only a developer can change it, the platform has moved the bottleneck rather than removed it.

## Why the evaluation usually goes wrong

Demos show what a platform can build. They rarely show what happens six months later, when the process changes.

- Tools that build fast but can only be edited by specialists
- Permission models too coarse for regulated or multi-team use
- Integrations that need a paid intermediary service
- Data locked in, with no clean export path

## Criteria worth testing

| Criteria         | What to test                                         |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Build speed**  | How long from idea to a working internal app         |
| **Editability**  | Whether a non-developer can change a live app        |
| **Permissions**  | Whether access can be set by role, field, and action |
| **Integrations** | Whether connections are native or need middleware    |
| **Portability**  | Whether you can export your data whenever you want   |
| **Versioning**   | Whether you can restore a previous version of an app |

## How this works in Jestor

1. Create a table, app, **Kanban**, or form from the action bar with Ctrl+K, from anywhere in the platform.
2. Turn on build mode with B or Ctrl+B to edit any app, field, colour, or phase condition inline.
3. Describe the process in plain text and let **AI** generate the app, tables, automations, and dashboards.
4. Set permissions by role, field, and action.
5. Use app versioning to keep history and restore an earlier version if needed.

## Why choose Jestor as a low-code platform?

**Jestor** was designed for COOs and operations managers rather than developers, which is the practical test: the person who owns the process can change it. Over 400 native automations cover most integrations without an intermediary, and an open **API**, webhooks, and SDK support Python, PHP, and .NET for the rest.

Other platforms in this category — such as Notion, Airtable, ClickUp, and Monday.com — suit different profiles; Jestor stands out for teams that need operational depth with granular permissions. The decision is yours.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can non-developers maintain it?

Yes. Apps and fields are edited visually, in build mode. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can I restore an older version of an app?

Yes, through app versioning.

### Is my data portable?

Yes, exportable at any time.
