| 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) | $85/month billed annually (Essential) · free tier: Free $0 — 1 workspace, 1 seat, 100,000 records, 1 GB DB SSD, watermarked images, REST APIs rate limited to 10 requests/20 seconds, U.S. region only, 24h audit logs, community support only |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Subscription (tiered) with paid add-ons |
| 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. | Semi-technical teams and agencies that already have a front end and need a compliant, region-selectable managed backend that survives real traffic without hiring DevOps. |
| 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 want one tool that builds the whole app including the UI, you are a true no-code beginner, you are budget-capped below ~$85/month, or you need HIPAA without an extra $500/month. |

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.
