What is Frontly?
Frontly is a no-code platform that allows businesses to create internal tools, customer portals, and dashboards without requiring technical expertise. It helps teams manage data efficiently and streamline workflows.
Is there a product roadmap?
Yes! You can view our product roadmap here: roadmap.frontly.ai.
Where is Frontly hosted? Can it be self-hosted?
Frontly is a fully-hosted solution, similar to Shopify or Squarespace, meaning you don’t need separate hosting. Currently, we do not offer self-hosting options.
Can I add a custom domain to my Frontly app?
Yes! All paid plans allow you to connect a custom domain (e.g., from GoDaddy, NameCheap). Initially, your app will be hosted on a frontly.ai subdomain, but after adding a custom domain, it will be accessible from your chosen address.
What are Frontly’s data privacy and compliance policies?
Frontly does not share your data with third parties. While we prioritize security and compliance, we cannot yet confirm full compliance with GDPR or HIPAA. We are continuously improving security measures to align with these standards.
Where is Frontly located?
Frontly is headquartered in British Columbia, Canada, while our servers and databases are hosted on AWS/Heroku in the United States.
What is the operations rate limit in Frontly?
Frontly’s operations rate limit applies to users who purchased a plan after January 2025. If you purchased a lifetime deal or subscription before January 2025, this rate limit does not apply to you, except when using Frontly DB.
Operations are counted whenever your app interacts with a database, including:
Viewing records
Creating new entries
Updating existing records
Deleting records
If you need a higher operations limit, upgrade options are available in your account’s billing page.
Do Frontly apps have scalability issues?
Frontly does not impose any hard row limits or sheet usage restrictions. However, certain data sources have natural performance limits.
Google Sheets: Performance may slow with 5,000+ rows.
Supabase & Frontly DB: Built for larger-scale applications with better speed and performance.
If you need high scalability, we recommend using Supabase or Frontly DB instead of Google Sheets.
Can I set up a page that shows different data based on who is logged in?
Yes! Frontly allows you to filter data dynamically using Hidden Filters. These filters can restrict displayed data based on user-specific criteria, such as team assignments or role-based access. Learn more in our Hidden Filters guide.
Can I turn my existing Supabase, Airtable, or Google Sheets data into apps?
Yes! You can import existing data and either manually build your app or use our AI app generation feature to create an app based on your data structure. Learn more about our integrations:
What types of apps is Frontly best suited for?
Frontly is ideal for internal business tools, such as:
✔ Client portals
✔ Dashboards & analytics tools
✔ Project management apps
✔ Custom CRMs
What types of apps are not supported?
While Frontly can be used for public-facing apps, it is not designed for consumer SaaS products (e.g., marketplaces, e-commerce platforms). Currently, direct payment integrations (like Stripe) are not available, but we plan to support them in the future.
Are there video tutorials for specific use cases?
Yes! We regularly upload tutorial videos and feature updates on our YouTube channel. You can also find step-by-step articles in our Help Center.
Does Frontly support payments?
Frontly does not currently have built-in payment processing, but you can connect external payment services using automation tools:
Make, Zapier, or Pabbly Connect can trigger updates when a payment is made.
You can sync payment statuses with Google Sheets or Supabase to reflect in your Frontly app.
If you need payment functionality, let us know—we are actively exploring solutions for future updates.
What is Frontly’s Marketplace?
Frontly’s Marketplace is where users can browse and install community-created blocks, pages, and actions to use in their apps.
Listings are submitted by Frontly users from all over the world.
Currently, only blocks in pages and actions can be listed, but we plan to expand the Marketplace to support full apps in the future.
Everything in the Marketplace is free to install for Frontly users. However, this is subject to change in the future, as we plan to introduce options for marketplace contributors to monetize their listings and get paid for their work.
