| Pricing | USD $45.00 per seat per month (Pro, vendor-supplied via G2) · free tier: Free plan confirmed at $0.00 (vendor-supplied via G2) | 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) |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Subscription plus usage-based metering (workload units) |
| Best for | Educators, students, founders and ops/IT teams who need a simple native iOS/Android app shipped quickly, are happy for it to live on the platform, and want to test at zero cost first. | 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. |
| Avoid if | You need deep UI customisation, in-app-purchase-dependent monetisation, source-code portability, a contractual SLA or named compliance certification, or a large current evidence base for procurement. | 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. |

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.
