Top 10 reasons why customers switch from Knack to Tadabase:

 

1. Tadabase is the only platform you need to run your business.

Tadabase offers all the essential features and services your business needs, included in one platform. Included are multi-file uploads, PDF management, app-side data importing, automatic domain certificate generation, effortless integration with external services, and so much more.  This means you won't have to spend on third-party tools or spread your data across multiple services, unlike Knack. In contrast, on Knack, essential services are often lacking, forcing Knack users to spend extra money on external tools. This not only raises expenses but also needlessly complicates data management, making it less efficient. Tadabase, with its extensive features, may have a slightly steeper learning curve. However, the effort is worthwhile when you consider the extra costs and data challenges Knack users often face. A faster learning curve for a limited, simpler platform can seem tempting, but it can be penny wise, pound foolish.  

 

2. Tadabase has Pipes.

Tadabase uses its proprietary integration system, Pipes, to dynamically integrate any external data into your app. This removes the need for 3rd party integration tools like Zapier, Integromat, or Workato. One of the reasons that Tadabase stands out as the top Knack alternative is its Pipes feature. Customers who switched from other no-code platforms such as Knack report an 80% decrease in their tech stacks since switching to Tadabase. By utilizing Tadabase's built-in Pipes, customers have slashed their monthly integration expenses by thousands of dollars. With Pipes, you'll be able to seamlessly integrate real-time data with preferred external services without exiting your app.

 

3. Tadabase is scalable.

Tadabase surpasses typical technological limitations thanks to its all-powerful SQL-backed infrastructure. With a combined 30+ years of experience in constructing robust infrastructures and scaling large applications, alongside long-standing certifications in Microsoft Engineering and AWS architecture, the founders built Tadabase from the ground up. Their primary goal was to enable limitless growth, making it the core focus of the platform's design.

 

4. Tadabase is enterprise ready.

Tadabase offers an exceptional enterprise-ready infrastructure that ensures your app scales effortlessly in step with your business growth. Unlike any other no-code platform, Tadabase can handle millions of records swiftly and efficiently. Scaling on Tadabase is a seamless process. You can easily add dedicated resources when required through a transparent pricing model and self-manageable dedicated servers. From your dedicated server dashboard, you have the flexibility to monitor your app's performance and dedicated resources autonomously. You can easily scale your servers up or down according to your specific needs.

 

5. Tadabase apps can be white labeled, for real.

While Knack claims to provide white-labeled web apps, yet their information persists in customers' app codes and URLs. This hinders the creation of a truly custom or white-labeled application. At Tadabase, when we say that our apps are custom to your business, we mean it. Your Tadabase white labeled app will have zero mention of Tadabase throughout the app code, URL, or design. This guarantees that: Consumer-facing applications can have their own distinctive appearance. Applications developed for clients will appear as if created entirely from scratch.

 

6. Tadabase is customizable.

All Knack apps are quite similar, so after seeing one, you've essentially seen them all. At Tadabase, we understand that your business is unique, and your app should mirror your specific brand and style. With features like custom login forms, drag-and-drop themes, and over two dozen unique components, your app's potential holds no limit. We know the struggle of fitting square data into round views. With Tadabase, the app you truly envision is ready to become a reality.

 

7. Tadabase prioritizes your security.

At Tadabase, the security of your data is our #1 priority. While Knack claims to value security, one look at a Knack app's code and you'll quickly find API keys and other sensitive data. Customizing your web app on Tadabase doesn't require exposing your API keys in Javascript. We provide server-side methods, allowing you to achieve extensive customizations without the need to expose your API credentials.

 

8. Tadabase offers more admin controls and app-side features.

Tadabase firmly believes that your data is yours, and you should have the freedom to manage it as you see fit. That's why we offer robust admin controls and increased flexibility for your app users to engage with your data from the app-side, giving you full discretion. For instance, our app-side importing feature lets you decide whether your users can systematically import records directly within the app, with the option to automate processes on those imports. Additionally, our app-side logging of user logins and record changes enables you to choose whether your users can access logs of user logins and record modifications directly from the app. Knack, on the other hand, lacks these similar features and flexibility, limiting their customers' control and the essential interaction of app users with data.

 

9. Tadabase is developer-friendly.

Tadabase provides a more structured approach to your custom code by segmenting it at the page, layout, or app level. This means you won't risk crashing your entire app with a breaking change. Additionally, Tadabase offers Page Versioning, allowing developers to track and revert to previous page versions swiftly. For teams, Tadabase offers finer control over member permissions compared to Knack's broader permissions. Additionally, developers can leverage our Builder API to manage their apps through API endpoints and showcase their skills by creating custom component designs, unlocking endless possibilities within Tadabase.
