Budibase April 2023 Product Update
Grid interface Currently in Beta Manage your data as easily as a spreadsheet — add new columns and rows, filter, sort, and inline-edit with just a few clicks. The power of a database and the usability of a spreadsheet are an exciting combination that will provide productivity gains for all users. The new Grid interface is currently in beta. It currently only works with the internal database and Datasource Plus connections (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Google Sheets, and others).

Simpler pricing
Since the launch of our platform, we have always aimed to make our pricing model as simple as possible and perfectly tailored to your needs. On the 2nd May 2023, we are taking a giant leap towards that goal by introducing our new pricing. Goodbye day passes Day passes were introduced to provide a granular approach to pricing that closely aligned with usage. However, after receiving feedback from users and customers, we have found that this model is confusing and difficult to predict.

February 2023 release notes
As Budibase continues to grow in users and usage we decided to dedicate February to improving the scalability and usability of Budibase. Undo/Redo A small but mighty feature, Undo/Redo has been on our backlog since day 1. With the February release, I’m pleased to announce users can undo/redo actions with the click of a button or using keyboard shortcuts. To undo an action, simply press Ctrl + Z / ⌘ + Z.

Budibase raises $7M to help every company on the planet build their own tools
At our old jobs, we got sick of reinventing the wheel every time we needed an internal tool. That’s why we built Budibase to empower IT teams to build beautiful internal tools faster. In the past year, we have come a long way, and we are excited to share the latest milestones in our journey. Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $7M in Seed II funding led by SignalFire and a bundle of new product updates that make Budibase exceedingly more extensible.
