About Caspio
Caspio is a long-running low-code platform that combines a hosted relational database with point-and-click builders for forms, reports, charts, search pages and login-protected portals. Apps can be published on Caspio's own pages or embedded into an existing website, which is why many organisations use it to add data-driven features to WordPress or corporate sites. It focuses on regulated and public-sector customers, offering compliance packages for HIPAA, GDPR and other standards, plus single sign-on and audit features at higher tiers. Customers include healthcare providers, universities and government agencies that want something more controlled than Airtable but cheaper than custom development. Pricing is monthly per account rather than per user, starting with a Team plan and rising through Business and Enterprise; there is a 14-day free trial and discounts for nonprofits and educators. It runs in the browser. The builder has a learning curve and looks old-fashioned, and costs are high for very small projects.
Best for: Organisations in regulated sectors that need embeddable database apps with compliance options.
