Santalo did not name specific competing companies in the August 2022 interview. He characterized the competitive landscape broadly, arguing that the primary competition for 8base is not other low-code platforms but rather developers building applications from scratch. "I would say in some areas, yeah, there's been solutions that have come out and made a difference, but there's still a lot of greenfield opportunity here," he told Latka.
He also noted that existing low-code tools have generally required users to learn a new visual or scripting language, which he positioned as a weakness that 8base addresses by staying within the JavaScript ecosystem. No competitor-specific metrics were cited.
