UI Bakery vs AppGyver: a factual comparison for professional creators
UI Bakery vs AppGyver compares two low-code tools that ended up in very different places. UI Bakery is an active, currently sold platform for building internal web applications. AppGyver has been discontinued as an independent product, and its technology now lives on as SAP Build Apps inside the SAP Build suite.
This article breaks down what each tool offers today, where they differ on backend, output, and pricing, and where Sticklight fits if you want production-ready software built straight from a prompt.
- UI Bakery is an active low-code platform for building internal tools, dashboards, admin panels, and customer portals with a drag-and-drop editor.
- AppGyver no longer exists as an independent brand or product; its technology now operates as SAP Build Apps within SAP’s broader SAP Build suite.
- UI Bakery publishes its cloud pricing openly, from a $0 per-developer free tier up to $35 to $40 per developer per month on the Team plan, plus custom Enterprise pricing.
- Current SAP Build Apps pricing couldn’t be independently verified for this comparison, so check their site for current pricing.
- UI Bakery includes a hosted PostgreSQL database and connects to external databases, REST APIs, and other services; it also supports self-hosted deployment.
- Sticklight takes a different approach: it generates production-ready, full-stack output, sites, apps, dashboards, CMS, and internal tools, straight from a prompt, and publishes it directly.
What UI Bakery is
UI Bakery is a low-code platform for building web applications like internal tools, dashboards, admin panels, and customer portals through a drag-and-drop editor. It ships with more than 80 pre-built UI components and connects to an unlimited number of external data sources, including databases, REST APIs, and other third-party services. It also includes a hosted PostgreSQL database, with 5GB of storage on paid tiers, plus a visual table and data editor for managing that data directly inside the platform.
Paid UI Bakery plans include a monthly AI credit allotment, scaled from $25 to $40 depending on the tier, and you can run it as a cloud product or as a self-hosted deployment. Its top self-hosted Enterprise tier also lets organizations bring their own AI model instead of relying on UI Bakery’s built-in one.
What AppGyver is today
AppGyver used to be a standalone visual, no-code app builder for web and mobile apps. As an independent brand it’s been discontinued, and appgyver.com now positions the underlying technology as SAP Build Apps, part of a unified SAP Build packaging that SAP has been consolidating according to its own community announcements. Current SAP Build Apps marketing describes cloud functions for backend logic and integration with other services on the SAP Business Technology Platform, and existing AppGyver and SAP Build Apps customers reportedly keep access for the duration of their current contracts.
A tier described as a continuation of the former AppGyver Community Edition shows up in third-party and SAP community reporting, though its cost hasn’t been independently confirmed. Exact current pricing for SAP Build Apps couldn’t be confirmed from an official SAP pricing page for this comparison, so treat any pricing claims about it as unverified and check their site for current pricing.
UI Bakery vs AppGyver at a glance
| Dimension | UI Bakery | AppGyver (now SAP Build Apps) | Sticklight |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Active low-code platform for internal tools, dashboards, admin panels, and customer portals | Discontinued as an independent product; technology continues as SAP Build Apps within SAP Build | Vibe-coding platform that turns a prompt into production-ready websites, apps, dashboards, CMS, and internal tools |
| Output | Drag-and-drop built internal web applications | Visual, no-code/low-code built web and mobile apps under the SAP Build umbrella | Production-ready, full-stack output generated from a prompt |
| Backend / data | Hosted PostgreSQL database plus connections to external databases, REST APIs, and other services | SAP Build Apps cloud functions for backend logic and SAP Business Technology Platform integrations | Additive to your WordPress/Elementor stack |
| Publish / hosting | Cloud-hosted or self-hosted deployment options | Hosted through the SAP Build suite | Prompt, build, publish, all in one flow |
| Best for | Teams standardizing on a dedicated internal-tools builder with its own database | Organizations already inside the SAP Business Technology Platform ecosystem | Professional creators who want production-ready, full-stack output built by the Elementor team |
| Entry pricing | $0 per developer per month (Free Cloud tier), verified against uibakery.io/pricing | check their site for current pricing | Additive to your WordPress/Elementor stack |
Where the two differ
The clearest difference between these two is continuity. UI Bakery is a currently maintained, currently sold product with a public pricing page, an active roadmap (things like unlimited data source connections and monthly AI credits), and both cloud and self-hosted delivery. AppGyver, by contrast, no longer exists as an independent product. Evaluating it today really means evaluating SAP Build Apps, a component of SAP’s larger Build suite, with pricing and packaging that SAP has been actively consolidating.
That distinction matters if you’re comparing the two on stability alone. UI Bakery’s pricing, feature set, and deployment options are documented and verifiable in one place. SAP Build Apps requires checking current SAP documentation directly, since the product it replaced no longer has its own pricing page, and reporting on it comes largely through SAP community channels rather than a dedicated storefront.
Where Sticklight fits
Both UI Bakery and AppGyver are low-code builders: you assemble an application from prebuilt components and connected data sources. Sticklight starts from a different point. It’s a vibe-coding platform, built by the Elementor team and powered by Claude, that turns a prompt into production-ready output, sites, apps, dashboards, CMS, and internal tools, and publishes it, following a prompt, build, publish flow.
Sticklight is additive to WordPress and Elementor rather than a replacement for them, and it’s built for professional creators who want to become full-stack creators, beyond building internal tools alone. If what you need is a general-purpose, prompt-driven path to production-ready software rather than a component-assembly internal-tools builder, Sticklight is worth evaluating alongside UI Bakery and SAP Build Apps. AI agents are on Sticklight’s roadmap as a coming feature, not something shipped today.
