Overview
Ply.io is a no-code platform that allows users to build custom internal features into the apps they already use, such as Gmail, Zendesk, Salesforce, and HubSpot[1][7]. It aims to accelerate work by making everything customizable and providing contextual solutions[2]. Ply.io is currently in beta[4].
Features
- Contextual Features: Ply.io enables users to build features that are contextual, meaning they can take data from the item being viewed and use it in their own feature or interact with data and features from other platforms and services[12].
- No-Code Platform: Users can create custom features without any coding knowledge[1].
- Integration with Popular Apps: Ply.io works with Gmail, Airtable, Zendesk, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Intercom, and many others[6].
- Role-Based Permissioning: Ply.io offers groups and roles for granular, role-based permissioning[1].
- Marketplace: Users can install Ply.io from the marketplace[1].
Use Cases
- Time Tracking: Ply.io can help users solve time tracking issues for their teams[1].
- Customer Support: Ply.io can be used to create a custom version of Zendesk, making onboarding new customer success managers easier[1].
- Data Integration: Ply.io allows users to build workflows directly into products using buttons and interactive UI elements, which can then perform actions at the request of the user[15].
Pricing
Ply.io is currently free while in beta[4]. The company has not yet finalized its pricing plans, but it is considering separate plans for team member features (internal users) and customer-facing features[4]. Internal features are likely to be priced per-user ("seat-based"), with a free tier for casual users and an affordable tier with unlimited (or near-unlimited) usage for most users[4]. Advanced capabilities and enterprise plans may also be available for larger teams and companies with advanced security needs[4]. Beta users will receive a discount when pricing is introduced[4].
Reviews
Ply.io has received positive reviews from users who have tried the platform during its beta phase[5]. Users have praised the technology, the team behind the product, and the platform's ability to empower teams to create tailored solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing apps and data[5]. The contextual features have been highlighted as a key advantage, allowing users to drive impactful change with ease and speed while enjoying a faster ROI[5].
