What Databutton is (in plain English)

• Databutton is an AI app developer you chat with to build real software—frontends in React and backends in Python with FastAPI—then deploy with one click. You can see, edit, and even export the code any time, so you’re never locked in. (docs.databutton.com)

• It’s designed to move you from idea to a working, production‑ready tool fast, with the AI agent handling scaffolding, wiring, and a lot of the busywork. (docs.databutton.com)

Why Back Office teams should care

• You can replace manual spreadsheets, glue scripts, and one‑off admin tasks with lightweight internal apps and automations that your team can actually use.

• Because Databutton ships full‑stack apps with real code and built‑in auth, IT can review, approve, and govern them, while ops teams iterate quickly without a long development queue. (docs.databutton.com)

• The result is less busywork and faster cycles for finance, HR, sales ops, and customer operations—without hiring a large engineering team.

How it works day to day

• You describe what you want; the AI agent writes and edits code, creates APIs and UI, tests endpoints, reads logs, and helps debug. You stay in control and can adjust anything. (docs.databutton.com)

• You get checkpoints and one‑click deploy, so it’s easy to try changes safely and publish when ready. (docs.databutton.com)

What you can connect

• You can integrate popular services through Python and npm packages or direct APIs. Databutton provides guides for services like Stripe for payments and supports databases such as Firebase and Supabase when you need them. Secrets are stored securely and injected into your code. (docs.databutton.com)

• For agentic workflows, you can expose your app’s APIs as an MCP server and connect them to tools like modern AI IDEs. (docs.databutton.com)

Security, control, and deployment

• You retain full code ownership and can export the code anytime. (docs.databutton.com)

• Databutton includes authentication, secrets management, and built‑in storage for private and public files to keep internal data tidy and accessible. (docs.databutton.com)

• Deploy apps to a Databutton subdomain instantly, and use a custom domain on paid plans. Hosting bills are usage‑based; backend compute is charged via credits when it’s actually doing work. (docs.databutton.com)

Pricing snapshot (as of September 28, 2025)

• Databutton’s current site highlights credit‑based plans for product usage: Starter at $50/month, Launch at $200/month, and Unlimited at $500/month. There’s also an optional App Launch Program starting from $5,000 for expert help. (splash.databutton.com)

• Some third‑party trackers still list “Agent +” support tiers (e.g., from $20/month for Agent + Community, $700/month for Agent + Human Support, and $4,000+/month for Advisor/Dev team). Treat those as indicative and confirm current terms with Databutton. (softwaresuggest.com)

Support options you can lean on

• Everyone gets weekly community office hours and access to Discord. If you need more help, there are options for advisory support and a dedicated human dev team that can partner with you. (databutton.com)

Where it fits in a solid Back Office stack

• Finance ops: Build a self‑serve billing portal, reconcile Stripe events to your ledger, and generate month‑end reports automatically. (docs.databutton.com)

• Sales and CS ops: Create internal tools to sync customer data, trigger outreach, and standardize handoffs—without juggling five different tabs.

• People ops: Stand up a new‑hire onboarding app that collects docs, assigns tasks, and tracks completion with role‑based access.

• RevOps/BI: Publish a secure metrics hub that pulls from your systems, runs Python transforms, and ships to the web with a click.

All of these are fast to iterate because the stack is React + Python (FastAPI) with a clean codebase you can review, extend, and export. (docs.databutton.com)

A quick way to try it

• Start a new app, describe your workflow, and let the agent scaffold a React UI and FastAPI backend in minutes.

• Add credentials in Secrets, connect APIs, and test your endpoints right in the workspace.

• Click Deploy to publish to a subdomain, then add a custom domain when you’re ready. You can roll back to the last deployment anytime. (docs.databutton.com)

Bottom line

• Databutton is a practical bridge between ideas and working internal software. It gives Back Office teams the speed of no‑code with the governance and flexibility of real code, so operations can keep moving while IT stays comfortable with the stack and controls. (docs.databutton.com)
