I took at briefly look at Jam. Jam is a much more sophisticated version of web2py's appadmin, our name for the database UI. web2py is not a database UI and the one it exposes is in fact very limited. jam.py is better at it. web2py is a system for creating arbitrary complex web applications.
For example if you work with a client, they may hav strict requirement about how the UI should look like, how you should navigate, maybe the app should app in cordova on a mobile phone, maybe you should use Facebook to authenticate users, maybe the images should be stored on Amazon S3, etc. Maybe it needs to expose APIs adhering to a custom protocol to be consumed by multiple clients. Maybe you need to host multiple apps under the same instance with different requirements. In web2py can do these things with some programming. In jam.py you get one interface, the one they provide. It is not mean for end users. It is meant for administrators who need to access a database via the web. And it is really good at it. My only complaint is that it based on jquery and jquery plugins which it makes it a bit of old style.
