What is Caspio?

Caspio is one of the leading platforms in the world of no-code/low-code app development. It is used to create custom database-driven applications that can be deployed on your website or accessed through a custom portal.  

Caspio Partners

Since 2022, Watkyn has been a Caspio partner, eager to help clients create or improve the no-code custom application they need to make their business more productive and profitable. Caspio specializes in supporting small businesses with apps that provide critical data to decision-makers in a clean, intuitive interface that can be tailored to your business’s look and feel.

Create Custom Business Solutions Quickly

The world of no-code/low-code custom app development includes a number of platforms, like Caspio, that allow you to create custom business solutions quickly. How do you know which one is right for you? One key differentiator is the platform’s pricing model.

No-Code Pricing: The Caspio Difference

Not a Typical No-Code Platform

Like most online software solutions and platforms, our other no-code platform, Quickbase, primarily charges by the user, with a minimum of twenty users at the lowest tier. For that price, businesses can build numerous custom applications to manage complex workflows. This makes Quickbase an ideal platform for many large and medium-sized clients in industries like manufacturing, construction, education, and government. You can read more about where Quickbase shines here and find out more about our Quickbase services here.

Custom Pricing for Professional Service Firms

Caspio, however, bases its pricing on the complexity of the app rather than the number of users by counting what it calls data pages–the forms, reports, charts, and graphs that allow users to review, input, and analyze data. This makes it ideal for businesses that offer professional services, like law offices, medical practices, accounting firms, and marketing companies and want to allow clients to have visibility on the progress of their work without having to pay extra fees for a large number of infrequent users. 

Popular Caspio Use Cases

The app templates most commonly downloaded from the Caspio marketplace are a good indicator of popular Caspio use cases:

  • Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
  • Support Ticketing System
  • Patient Portal 
  • Appointment Scheduling 
  • Project Management 

As you can see, Caspio excels in helping you connect with and serve your customers or clients.

Save on Costs with our Caspio Template Apps

At standard Caspio prices, the Professional plan costs six times as much as the Starter plan and includes five times as many data pages (100 v. 20), plus other advanced features. While staying within the 20 data page Starter plan limit (and utilizing one add-on feature), Watkyn has created two Caspio template apps that provide robust business functionalities for high-value use cases. Our Starter Project Management app is currently the only app in the Caspio Marketplace that wasn’t created by Caspio itself–and our Starter CRM app should soon be joining it. Both apps were designed to allow a business to give Caspio an extended trial at a low price while providing real value through an efficiently designed, attractive application (find more details below). 

You can demo these apps for free and purchase them from Watkyn at a very low price ($250 each). Try out the Project Management app (here) or the CRM (here), then contact us to get your own copy.

Improving Your Caspio App

If you already have a Caspio app, we can help you add even more value or functionality by:

  • building a custom portal: Since Caspio apps can be deployed anywhere, we can build a custom-made portal that fits your brand and meets UI/UX standards and best practices. That way, you can ensure your users have a great user experience and make them more likely to use the app regularly. 
  • maximizing the value of your data pages: We can help you get more out of the data pages included in your subscription by employing code and using other techniques that multiply the functionalities included in a single data page. 
  • improving your forms: Attractive, highly functional forms are a critical part of many Caspio apps. We can upgrade your forms by making them more visually appealing and adding features like custom buttons. 
  • deploying powerful formulas: Complex calculations can be critical to understanding or improving your business’s profitability. An experienced developer can use SQL queries to create formulas that go beyond native Caspio functions. 
  • optimizing your database structure: The long-term usefulness and scalability of your database application depend heavily on the quality of your underlying database structure. Professional developers can help you organize your tables and build relationships between them to ensure your app is built on a good foundation.
  • building API integrations: Most Caspio plans include web services APIs that allow you to extend the power of Caspio and integrate it with other solutions. By using this feature, you will be able to build additional features and complex functions for your Caspio app and move data between your Caspio database and other applications.
