Knack

No-code platform for custom online databases

Overview

Knack provides a no-code platform that lets users build custom online databases without writing code. Users create apps to manage operational data, using built-in features like Formulas, Form Actions, and Field and Display Rules to define behavior and data flow. The product supports subscription plans (monthly and yearly) and generates revenue also from custom code and integration services. It offers a HIPAA-compliant option for healthcare startups, making it suitable for regulated data work. Knack’s differentiators are its flexibility and scalability, support for a wide range of customers from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, and emphasis on data visibility and workflow automation. The company’s goal is to help organizations simplify data management and automate processes by providing an accessible, customizable database platform that does not require developers.
