Quick answer: The strongest Draftbit alternatives are Glide, Softr and Adalo. Glide is the closest match for most users; the others trade off on price, features or focus. All 6 are compared below on pricing, strengths and best use case.

Draftbit is a solid nocode app builder tool — Visual app builder that generates clean React Native source code you can export and own, aimed at technical founders who want code portability rather than platform lock-in. But maybe the pricing no longer fits, or you want a feature Draftbit doesn't prioritise. Here are the strongest alternatives worth a look, with what sets each apart.
