| Pricing | Reported at $29/month (web only), $42 with mobile, $59 for both — SECOND-HAND, sources disagree on which track $59 sits in; vendor pricing page not retrieved · free tier: Free plan at $0 reported for learning/prototyping only — cannot publish a live app on a custom domain; one source cites 50k workload units and 1 editor (SECOND-HAND, unverified) | $36/month billed annually (Starter; monthly billing carries a 20% premium, indicatively ~$45) · free tier: Free $0/month: 500 records per app, 0 published apps, unlimited test apps and screens, 1 editor, Ada AI (Beta), docs/community support only |
| Pricing model | Subscription plus usage-based metering (workload units) | Subscription |
| Best for | Founders and small teams building a genuinely complex, data-heavy product — marketplace, two-sided platform or SaaS with real permissions and backend logic — who can absorb a months-long learning curve, will model workload-unit consumption before committing, and accept platform lock-in. | Solo founders and small businesses shipping one or two apps who want predictable flat pricing plus real Apple/Google Play distribution, and small agencies staying under five published apps and ten editors. |
| Avoid if | You are a first-time builder needing to ship in weeks, need a predictable fixed bill that does not scale with your own traffic, need to own or port your source code, or are a design-led team requiring fine-grained CSS control. | You need more than five published apps, operate in a regulated sector requiring verifiable compliance certification, need complex custom logic, cannot tolerate auto-renewal and credits-not-cash refund risk, or are shipping an iOS-first product where a launch-day crash is unacceptable. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
