DaDaBIK review
A capable self-hosted builder for database-backed web apps and internal tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DaDaBIK is a self-hosted no-code and low-code platform for building database-driven web applications. It suits teams creating internal tools and business data applications such as CRM, ERP, help desk, inventory, and reporting systems. Applications can start from SQL databases, Excel files, CSV files, or a blank project, then be configured with forms, datagrids, reports, dashboards, and workflows. Its feature set also covers authentication, LDAP, OAuth, user groups, permissions, revisions, logging, record locking, and PDF generation.
The pricing structure combines a 14-day trial with monthly and one-time options. The monthly Enterprise subscription costs $24 per month and can be canceled anytime. The one-time Pro license costs $49 and includes six months of free upgrades. The one-time Enterprise license costs $249 and includes one year of free upgrades, while the one-time Platinum license costs $699 and includes three years of free upgrades. The listed plans provide unlimited users, tables, and records. This makes the lower-cost Pro license notable for smaller self-hosted deployments, while longer upgrade coverage may matter to teams choosing Platinum.
DaDaBIK connects with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, Excel, CSV, WordPress, LDAP, and Google OAuth2. It also provides an HTTP API for authentication and record selection, with PHP, JavaScript, SQL, hooks, and custom functions available for extensions. The platform runs on the web and supports self-hosting and API access, but its listed application type is web rather than native mobile. Choose DaDaBIK when database control, deployment ownership, permissions, and business-data workflows are priorities. Teams that need broad native mobile publishing or a wider platform ecosystem should consider an alternative.
