Appenate

Appenate, formerly called Forms On Fire, is an Australian no-code platform founded in 2011. Businesses use it to build their own mobile apps for collecting field data. Teams design forms and screens in a visual builder, then run them as native apps on iOS, Android, and Windows. The apps capture photos and data offline and sync once a connection returns. Common uses are building and safety inspections, audits, and service reports. The Premium plan adds task and job dispatch plus document management, and the Pro plan adds AI form generation, a conversational assistant, and voice and photo fill. Pricing is per user with a minimum of five users. Standard costs 25 USD per user per month on monthly billing, Premium 35 USD, and Pro 45 USD, and annual billing takes about 20 percent off. Standard is capped at 1,500 form submissions a month. Several add-ons are quoted separately: a self-hosted server, white-label apps, dashboards (Distill), SQL replication, workflow automation (Sync), web forms, and multi-environment tooling. It connects to Salesforce, NetSuite, Xero, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Sheets, Power BI, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, ArcGIS, and others, and it has a REST API. Appenate says it holds SOC 2 Type 2 and is HIPAA compliant. It suits small and mid-sized service, construction, and maintenance companies that want custom inspection workflows without writing code. The main limitation is that it is a general forms platform rather than a maintenance system: it has no built-in asset registry, preventive maintenance scheduling, or sensor integration. Reviewers also report slow mobile performance on large forms with many images.
