What the no-code builders tools reveal

- Glide: Native Glide Tables/Big Tables do not consume 'updates'; external sources (Sheets/Airtable) do, extra updates ~$0.02 each.
- Softr: SOC 2-certified hosting; SSO offered as a paid add-on rather than included.
- Adalo: Free plan is real (500 records, web publish), but native store publishing is paid only.
- FlutterFlow: Plan lineup restructured in 2026 (Standard/Pro/Teams retired → Free/Basic/Growth/Business).
- Draftbit: Pricing reported around $19/mo entry, mid-range vs competitors.
- Bravo Studio: Native iOS/Android apps; MCP path outputs a real React Native app with a Convex backend.
- Backendless: Web apps plus full backend-as-a-service; mobile via API/SDKs.
- WeWeb: Launched its own native backend (WeWeb Tables) in April 2026; pricing rose 12 Feb 2026.
- Noloco: No free plan - 30-day free trial only (distinct from tools with permanent free tiers).
- Stacker: Web apps / portals, not native mobile.
- Retool: Free plan is real (5 users); also a free Agency plan with Business features for qualified agencies.
- Appsmith: Apache 2.0 open source; self-hostable for free with no user cap (advanced features still paid).

Qualitative trends to watch in 2026
Buyers in no-code builders face more choice (and more pricing complexity) every year. A few directional patterns we're seeing, framed as trends rather than precise figures (we don't publish numbers we can't source):
- Annual-billing discounts are widening, nudging buyers toward longer commitments.
- The busiest sub-categories (Nocode App Builder (12), Internal Tool Builder (7)) are where overlap is highest and pricing competition sharpest.
- With 2 sub-categories in play, buyers increasingly consolidate onto a few broader tools rather than stitching point solutions together.
- Trials are doing more of the selling: 4 of 19 tools here lean on a free trial rather than a permanent free plan to win buyers.
