Overview
Structr is an open-source low-code platform that runs on your own infrastructure with data held in a Neo4j graph database. You model types and relationships in a visual schema editor, and each type is exposed automatically as a REST endpoint with CRUD, filtering, sorting and pagination. Business logic is written in server-side JavaScript on GraalVM or built in a node-based flow editor.
- Best for
- Teams in the EU needing self-hosted internal apps with graph data and fine-grained permissions.
- Pricing
- No prices are shown; the platform is described as open source and self-hosted, with a free cloud-hosted sandbox for evaluation.
- Runs on
- WebLinuxSelf-hosted
Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Self-hosted on your own servers; data stays in a standard Neo4j DB
- Schema, REST API, auth and page rendering in one platform
- Server-side JavaScript on GraalVM when visual tools fall short
- Source code is publicly available to audit and extend
Trade-offs
- You must run and maintain Neo4j and a Linux server yourself
- Requires Java 25+ and Neo4j 5.x or 2026.x
- Memgraph and Amazon Neptune support is experimental
- Cloud sandbox is for evaluation; no hosted production option shown

How this score is made up
Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.
MCP support
Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.
API quality
Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.
Documentation
Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.
Agent friendliness
How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.
Changelog
A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.
Marketing site structure
Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.
Page speed
How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.
Operational trust
Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.
Measured, but not part of the score
Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.
Openness
Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.
Maintenance
Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
