A low code platform lets you design software by configuring screens and logic instead of programming from scratch. Mauqe is built specifically for everyday business work: purchase requests, leave forms, vendor onboarding, inspections, helpdesk intake, and anything that today lives in email threads and spreadsheets.
Unlike generic website builders or spreadsheet databases, Mauqe combines a visual form builder, a workflow engine for approvals, searchable record tables, dashboards, role-based access, and optional API connections in one company workspace. You get the structure of custom software with the speed of a SaaS tool.
The Starter plan is genuinely free: one admin user, two apps, 100 MB storage, and 100 submissions per month. That is enough to pilot your first process, prove ROI to leadership, and upgrade only when volume or team size requires it.

Task inbox
Approvers work from a focused queue — approve, reject, delegate, or revert with comments.
Dashboards
Charts and summary widgets for operational visibility without a separate BI tool.
API access
Generate API keys to push or pull data when you need integrations with other systems.
Audit and exports

Mauqe vs the old way
Why teams switch from email, spreadsheets, and custom dev projects.
| Aspect | Spreadsheets & email | With Mauqe |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first working app | Weeks or months waiting on IT or an agency quote | Same day — often under an hour for a first form and approval flow |
| Cost to start | Custom development budgets or expensive enterprise licenses | Free Starter plan with real features, not a crippled trial |
| Who maintains it | Developers for every change request | Business admins and process owners update forms and workflows visually |
| Approvals and audit | Email chains with no central record | Built-in task inbox, status tracking, and decision history |
| Scaling | Rebuild or renegotiate when requirements grow | Upgrade plan for more users, apps, and submissions as you grow |
Who is a free low code platform for?
Mauqe fits teams that need operational software quickly but do not have budget or appetite for a full custom build. Typical users include office managers digitizing paper forms, operations leads replacing spreadsheet trackers, HR coordinators standardizing requests, and founders prototyping internal tools before hiring engineers.
- →Small and mid-size companies without a dedicated dev team
- →Departments inside larger orgs that need autonomy from central IT
- →Agencies and consultants building repeatable client workflows
- →Nonprofits and associations collecting structured applications
Low code vs no code vs custom development
Custom development gives maximum flexibility at maximum cost and lead time. Pure no-code tools often stop at simple forms or websites. Mauqe sits in the practical middle: low code for business operations — enough power for approvals, roles, APIs, and records, without requiring a engineering team to operate day to day.
Security and data ownership
Each company workspace is isolated with role-based permissions. Admins control who can submit, approve, or configure apps. Audit logs track sensitive actions. For teams with compliance needs, exports and clear decision histories support internal reviews without exporting chaos from email archives.
