Best No-Code App Builders in 2026

Bubble is the most capable general-purpose no-code builder in this list. A single project combines a visual page designer, a built-in database, workflow logic, user authentication and an API connector, which is enough to build marketplaces, SaaS products and customer portals without code. Since adding native mobile, Bubble can also publish iOS and Android apps running on React Native from the same project.

Plans are bought per project. On annual billing Starter costs US$32 per month, Growth US$119 and Team US$349, with 175,000, 250,000 and 500,000 workload units and 1,000 to 4,000 AI credits a month; Enterprise is custom. The Free plan includes 50,000 workload units, 500 AI credits, the development version and the API connector, but no live website.

Bubble's flexibility comes with a learning curve closer to software development than to spreadsheet-style tools, and its workload-unit metering means costs rise with server activity. Users receive alerts at 75% and 100% of the allowance and can disable overages. There is no code export, so applications remain tied to Bubble's platform.

Glide turns data in Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable and other sources into apps for desktop and phone, with a focus on internal operations such as field data collection, inventory and team dashboards. Its AI features include SheetSense, which reads spreadsheets including formulas and notes, an agent that builds apps from data, "Ask Glide" for questions on live data, and MCP connections for external agents such as Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT. The company says teams at more than 100,000 businesses use it.

Glide prices by plan with unlimited guests on every tier. Basic costs US$25 per month with 100 credits, two team members and two published apps; Plus US$50 with 250 credits, three members and five apps; Pro US$125 with 500 credits, five members and unlimited published apps; Enterprise is custom. The Free plan allows two members and ten projects but no published apps. Annual plans were listed as "coming soon".

Glide is easier to learn than Bubble but less suited to complex consumer products, and its pricing page does not describe native app store publishing.

Softr builds business applications such as client portals, internal tools and directories on top of its own databases or external sources including Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot and Notion. An AI co-builder generates applications from a description, and Softr Workflows automate actions.

Softr counts "team users" (sharing a builder's business email domain) separately from "client users", which suits portals for customers or partners. Basic costs US$19 per month with one builder, five team and five client users and 5,000 database records; Pro costs US$99 with two builders, ten team and 50 client users, custom code, API connectors and removal of Softr branding; Business costs US$329 with three builders, 30 team and 100 client users, two-factor authentication and an installable PWA with push notifications; Enterprise is custom. A free plan is available.

User caps are the main constraint: portals with hundreds of external users require Business or additional user purchases, which start at US$1 to US$2 per user per month. Softr does not build native store apps.

Airtable is a cloud database with a spreadsheet-like interface that has expanded into app building. Its pricing page lists Interfaces for creating custom views of data and a newer "AI App Building" capability for building custom business apps without code, alongside Airtable AI and AI agents that can run inside apps.

Airtable is priced per seat: Team costs US$20 and Business US$45 per user per month billed annually, and Enterprise Scale is custom. Only users with edit permissions on at least one base are charged; read-only collaborators, form submissions and share links are free, which keeps costs down for apps that many people view but few edit. A Free plan is intended for individuals and very small teams, and when record or attachment limits are reached no more can be added until upgrading.

Airtable is strongest when the application is essentially a structured, shared database with views, forms and automations. For customer-facing portals, many teams pair it with Softr or Noloco. The pricing page does not specify which plans include AI app building or AI agents.

AppSheet is Google's no-code app builder. It creates apps from Google Sheets, Google Drive, Excel, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Salesforce, Smartsheet, OData and REST sources, and the apps run on desktop and mobile devices. Typical uses include inspections, inventory tracking and field data collection.

Pricing is per user per month: Starter US$5, Core US$10 and Enterprise Plus US$20. Core is included in most paid Google Workspace plans, so many organisations already have it. Enterprise Plus adds cloud databases, APIs, enterprise data services, machine-learning modelling, governance and priority support, and requires a Workspace administrator to sign up. Users can build and test apps free with up to ten test users, and Publisher Pro costs US$50 per month per app for public apps without sign-in.

AppSheet's interface is configuration-driven rather than a free-form designer, which speeds up data apps but limits visual customisation. Per-user pricing makes it costly for apps used by large external audiences unless Publisher Pro applies.

Adalo is a no-code builder for native mobile and web apps with a drag-and-drop screen designer, a built-in database and the Ada AI assistant. It is aimed at people with no development background who want to launch an app in the stores.

The Free plan includes unlimited test apps, one editor, 500 records per app, five AI prompts a month and one free app build. Builder costs US$65 per month, US$175.50 quarterly or US$624 a year, and includes two published apps, five editors, unlimited AI prompts, one instant update per month and custom domains. Business costs US$200 per month or US$1,920 a year, adding five published apps, unlimited instant updates, ten editors, the Collections API and external databases.

Publishing to the app stores is supported on paid plans but requires separate Apple (US$99 a year) and Google Play (US$25 one-time) developer accounts. Adalo trades flexibility for simplicity: complex logic, large datasets and external databases push users towards the Business tier or towards more flexible tools such as Bubble.

Power Apps is Microsoft's app builder within the Power Platform. Business users create canvas apps by designing screens, or model-driven apps generated from a Dataverse data model, and connect them to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams and other services. Although Microsoft markets Power Apps as low-code, much of its use is by business users without programming experience.

The Premium plan costs US$20 per user per month paid yearly and covers unlimited Power Apps and Power Pages for each licensed user, with a 250 MB Dataverse database and 2 GB file allowance; buyers of at least 2,000 licences pay US$12. A free Developer Plan offers three environments for building and testing, but production use requires Premium or pay-as-you-go via Azure. Extra Dataverse database capacity costs US$40 per GB per month.

Copilot features help users build and use apps, but agentic features are limited to model-driven apps. Organisations outside the Microsoft ecosystem gain less from it, since much of its value comes from Microsoft 365 integration.

Zoho Creator lets users build business apps with drag-and-drop forms and pages, workflows and built-in AI models, connected to Zoho applications and external data sources. Zoho markets it as a low-code platform, but most business apps can be assembled visually from forms, pages and workflows.

On annual billing Standard costs US$8, Professional US$20 and Enterprise US$25 per user per month; monthly billing costs US$12, US$30 and US$37. Regional price lists are lower in some markets. A Free edition includes one custom app, and a 15-day trial of any paid plan needs no credit card, after which accounts revert to the Free plan.

Plan limits are significant: Standard allows only one application, five data sources and five custom connectors, while Professional and Enterprise allow unlimited applications. External users require a separately priced customer portal add-on. Zoho Creator is best value for organisations already using other Zoho products.

Noloco builds internal tools and client portals on its own Noloco Tables or on external sources such as Airtable, Google Sheets and Xano. It separates internal team seats from "active clients", which suits businesses giving customers secure access to project or account data.

The Free plan includes unlimited team seats, 50 active clients, 2,000 records, Noloco Tables and CSV import, with 30 AI credits a month plus five a day and Noloco branding. Build costs US$79 per month billed monthly or US$65 per month billed annually, with ten team seats included (then about US$5 per extra seat), 1,000 active clients, 25,000 records (expandable to 250,000 at US$25 per 25,000), 250 AI credits a month, external data sources and two-factor login; Enterprise is custom. Non-profits receive 50% off paid plans, and every plan includes a 14-day trial of Build.

Noloco's simple two-tier structure makes costs predictable for portals with up to 1,000 clients. Its pricing page lists a mobile apps feature without stating plan availability.

Thunkable is a no-code builder for native mobile apps that combines drag-and-drop design with block-based logic. Apps can be tested live on a phone and published to the Apple and Google stores. Education plans are sold to students, teachers and districts.

The Free plan includes 2,000 AI tokens, three public projects and five screens per project. Builder costs US$59 per month or US$37 per month on annual billing with ten private projects, unlimited screens and one live published app; Advanced costs US$189 per month or US$99 annually with unlimited published apps and priority support. A smaller Accelerator tier is priced at about US$18–19 per month.

Thunkable states that published apps become unavailable if the subscription expires. The block-based approach is easy to learn but becomes unwieldy for large apps, and data features are less extensive than in database-centred builders such as Bubble or Glide.

Bravo Studio converts app designs into native iOS and Android apps, with live Figma sync among its listed features; it states that it is not affiliated with Figma. Instead of building screens from a component library, designers keep control of the visual design and use Bravo to connect data, APIs and actions.

The free Starter plan includes phone preview, basic API connections and up to 15 screens per app, but no App Store builds. Solo costs US$22 per month billed monthly and includes up to 30 screens per app, unlimited native builds and integrations with Stripe, OAuth and Firebase. A one-time Bravo To Go service builds an app or website for US$999.

Bravo depends on external backends for data, so builders must set up a service such as Firebase or an API. The 30-screen limit on Solo restricts larger apps, and annual prices were not shown on the page.

Appy Pie offers template-based app creation aimed at small businesses that want an app quickly without design or development work. Users pick a template, add content and features, and publish.

Pricing is per app per month: Basic US$16 and Gold US$36 for Android only, Platinum US$60 for Android and iOS, and Enterprise by quote. The page advertises up to 20% savings on yearly billing and displays strikethrough prices twice as high. A 7-day free trial lets users build and test an app for personal, non-commercial use. Google Play's US$25 one-time and Apple's US$99 annual developer fees are extra.

Appy Pie is the simplest option in this list for a basic informational or ordering app, but it offers far less control than Bubble, Glide or Softr, and iOS publishing requires the most expensive published tier.
