What are the Advantages and Limitations of No-Code Tools?

Easy to setup, costly to customize.

As a builder of No Code Test automation platform, my experience shows: pros: easy to use, fast to learn and start, cost effective, no need to expertise cons: lack of control, customization in the complex projects

I built NoCode tools like https://flezr.com and siteoly.com The point is straight. If its possible to use NoCode products and get things done, please use those especially when they save a lot of time and engineering efforts. Don't worry about the limitations too early without actually making any revenue. But if you are dev, don't pick NoCode tools that have bigger learning curve.

The ones that remove tedious things from the workflow are the best suited for no-code. If the no-code app helps me do my job way faster than doing it manually and with similar results in quality, then that's worth looking into. If it's just for the sake of no-code and general people without a minimum specialization in that something your no-code tool tries to solve, then it's just a waste of time.

Advantages: 1. Easy to learn 2. Build and launch fast Limitations 1. Scaling is the problem and 2. You are at mercy of the no code tool company. Like when they increase prices, you should increase your saas price too in order to stay profitable.

The greatest advantage for us has been the speed of development. Our 4 person team is frequently deploying upwards of 10 - 20 times in a day. While the no-code tools of today does have limitation, we have only just scratched the surface of what is possible. We are launching a new no-code tool https://toddle.dev on the 1. of May, make sure to check it out!

The best thing of No-code tools is easy to get started for everyone, but inevitably that makes them less flexible.

Frankly, I believe that "no-code" will replace traditional coding methods in the coming months and eventually become the new norm.

The advantages of no-code tools include faster app development, reduced costs, and increased accessibility for non-technical users. Limitations include limited customization options, scalability challenges, and potential performance issues. It's important to weigh the benefits and drawbacks to determine if no-code tools are the right fit for your project.

The biggest one is probably that they're overall limited. Especially if you want to do some backend stuff like managing servers. This is why we built evoke-app.com without no-code on the backend

I'd say there are two cases for it. One thing is if you want to develop software that will evolve greatly over time, another is if it is something very "set in stone". For example, I've seen many bank and insurance apps built with no code. This works because they cater to existing users and are not the enablers of the business model itself. A few no codes scale good enough for this and it is easy enough for these low tech businesses to have a mobile or web presence that is easier to build. For many software companies where the software itself is the enabler of the business model (think SaaS and platforms) no code is great to start iterating. While you have no product market fit there is no point in reinventing the wheel if a no code is just easier to build and iterate on. It will not scale to your needs (maybe after 1k users, maybe after 10k depends on the case) most likely at some point, but if you want speed of iteration, in most companies your pure code product will also be built in a non scalable way. Tech dept is inevitable if your goal is to quickly find product market fit. And that's the benefit of no code.

Easy to get started, but sometime limitation on some features so we have to adjust with it.

No-code tools rock for MVPs, prototypes & simple apps. Great for non-tech founders. But for me complex, custom, or scalable apps, traditional coding still wins

Main advantage: No knowledge is required to build your software, and it can be stepped up in hours Disadvantage: They own everything. If they decide to shut down or increase their price, it will have a drastic effect. You don't own your code

As a working student no-code tools literally run my both personal and work life. The major feature of no-code tools is that they allow you to do many things without having the same amount of technological knowledge with a tech guy. I think the limitations depend on what you're looking for, if you feel that a no-code tool doesn't meet your expectation you may consider low-code tools.

The best thing of No-code tools is it's simplicity which of course motivation beginners to start an online buisness.
