Detailed Review
Simplifier is a German low-code platform built by Simplifier AG, headquartered in Würzburg since 2012, with a stated 740 employees and more than 300 customer projects delivered. Its specific niche inside this category is SAP integration: Simplifier is an SAP Silver Partner and a SAP-Certified Business Technology Platform provider, which means it is explicitly positioned as an alternative — or a complement — to building low-code apps directly on SAP's own BTP tooling.
Beyond SAP, the platform is also a Microsoft Partner and lists on both AWS and Azure Marketplace, so a customer isn't locked into an SAP-only deployment story even if that's the platform's main selling point. Pricing is not published anywhere on the site; every engagement begins with a ‘Discovery Call’, which is typical for this SAP-adjacent tier of enterprise software but does mean no number appears before a sales conversation.
The vendor's own marketing claims a 40% total-cost-of-savings figure against SAP BTP, which is a vendor-stated number rather than an independently verified one and should be read that way. Simplifier makes the most sense for a company already running a significant SAP estate that wants a dedicated low-code layer over it; a company without SAP in its stack gets comparatively little advantage from choosing it over Mendix, Betty Blocks or Ninox.
What Simplifier does well
- Würzburg-headquartered (Simplifier AG), operating since 2012 with a stated 740 employees and 300+ customer projects
- Certified SAP Silver Partner and SAP-Certified Business Technology Platform provider — a genuine SAP-integration specialism
- Also a Microsoft Partner with AWS and Azure Marketplace listings, so it isn't purely SAP-locked as a deployment option
- Vendor states over 100,000 end users across its customer base, suggesting real production scale
Where Simplifier falls short
- No published pricing anywhere — every quote requires a discovery call with sales
- The vendor's own ‘40% TCO savings vs SAP BTP’ claim is unverified marketing and should be treated as such, not as an independent finding
- No independent security certification (SOC 2, ISO 27001) found on the pages checked, despite the SAP partner credentials
- Its core value proposition is specifically SAP integration — a company without an SAP estate gets little advantage over the other EU alternatives in this category
Standout feature. Deep, certified SAP integration — Simplifier is an SAP Silver Partner and a SAP-Certified Business Technology Platform provider — aimed specifically at companies that want to build apps against SAP without committing entirely to SAP's own BTP low-code tooling.
