What is Appenate?

Appenate is a no-code platform used to create mobile-friendly forms and apps. Organizations of all sizes use it to digitize field data collection like inspections and audits, automate workflows, and connect their teams.

The platform combines affordability, flexibility, AI innovation, powerful built-in features for field teams, and forever-free support. This makes it one of the most capable and accessible digital form solutions in the world.

Here are the three things that make Appenate different from other no-code platforms:

1. Robust offline functionality for field teams.
2. Comprehensive end-to-end white-labeling for partners.
3. Commitment to hands-on, world-class customer support, including free one-on-one training for all customers.

Core features and selling points

• No-code form & app designer: Drag-and-drop interface for creating digital forms, inspections, audits, checklists, and reports.
• AI-powered form builder: Instantly generates digital forms from simple text prompts, voice commands, or by uploading an existing PDF form. 
• AI photo & voice fill: Snap a photo of any document and let AI extract and map the information directly into your digital fields. Another hands-free way to fill out Appenate forms is to just tap the mic button and describe the situation — in any language you prefer.
• Advanced workflow & automation: Conditional logic, automated notifications, and real-time dashboards for better visibility.
• Rich data capture capabilities: You can attach photos, videos, and audio recordings, pre-fill GPS mapping and navigation data, use NFC and QR code scanning, and collect digital signatures.

• Native, offline-capable forms & apps: The mobile forms and apps you create are available for iOS, Android, and Windows, with full offline capability for field teams working in remote locations.
• Distill: A native BI platform that centralizes data from forms, spreadsheets, and connected sources. Managers use it to create interactive dashboards and reports, while field workers use it to get contextual AI answers based on your internal SOPs, manuals, and other business data.
• Sync: A no-code automation engine used for creating powerful workflows like triggering activities based on events in Appenate, moving or transforming data between systems, and automating complex operational processes.

Third-party reviews

Capterra profile

Appenate boasts a 4.7/5 score based on 160+ reviews. 

Most reviewers indicate that Appenate is highly user-friendly, highlighting its intuitive design and ease of navigation. They appreciate the drag-and-drop functionality, which simplifies the process of creating and customizing forms.

• “Appenate was exactly the middle ground we needed between being offline using paper and developping our own mobile app for internal use. Within the first 3 weeks of using the platform we were able to increase productivity and decrease paper to computer entry completely. Reports that usually took 1 hrs to gather the information and another hour to digitize and publish could be done on the fly during the data gathering phase.” — Mathew V.
• “I have been using Appenate for almost 7 years in my job at an international engineering firm and cannot speak highly enough of this product! I have designed forms from basic single-page fill-in-the-blank type forms to incredibly complicated multi-page forms using pre-populated repeating tables, subforms, and even approval steps.” — Jennifer T.
• “Very pleased with the ease of developing our forms, distributing, updating, and collecting the uploaded data . The drag and drop interface for forms is outstanding and the help files make it easy to develop any workflow you can imagine, very powerful!” — Cliff G.

Potential limitations

Appenate is not intended for organizations seeking a fully off-the-shelf software product; it’s intended for organizations looking to rapidly build software to meet their exact data-capture and workflow requirements.

The platform’s flexibility means users will need to configure and adapt templates to fit their exact workflows — though the intuitive builder, template library, and free support make this easy and fast.

Appenate forms are built to be used within the native Appenate app for iOS, Android, or Windows. For external workflows, you can purchase the WebForms optional add-on on any pricing tier. This allows you to share forms with non-logged-in external users, which is a fantastic way to coordinate with prospects, clients, and third-party service providers/stakeholders.
