HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 дек 2022
- There are a MILLION no-code app builders out there. How do you decide which one is suitable for you?
It's even harder if you're a non-technical founder.
Picking the wrong no-code app builder could lead to hundreds of hours wasted.
Having to rebuild an app from scratch again using another no-code tool is not fun.
So in this video, we'll dive deeper into a few use cases that you might face as a non-tech founder and which no-code app builder you use is determined by what happens after you've built the app.
We'll share with you what you should be looking for and we also touched on the limitations of no-code app builders so you're fully aware before making a decision.

![2024 No Code App Builders I Recommend For Non-Techies [Beginner to Advanced]](/img/1.gif)
Want to build a successful no-code app? You'll need a product roadmap to know exactly what to build and how to get there. Check out this video on Product Roadmap 👉 ruclips.net/video/-ZiZ2hwm30w/видео.html
Hi Adrian, i want to create an app with similar capability to tinder but not for dating. I want it to be accessable on mobile and on computers. Would bubble be the best option? From what I understand it have best capabilty for scaling-up as well when your user base increases.
If you reply I promise to subscribe ;)
@@ishy2217 Bubble would be a good start if you're looking to build a mobile responsive web application. Depending on your idea, I would probably suggest most people to start there and worry about mobile app later. Unless your idea is mobile focused only. I don't have a lot of context here though so hope this small little advise help.
I know what I want, I know it's marketable and there is at least tens of thousands of potential users if not hundreds of thousands. My problem is I don't want to pay a monthly fee to another company for assisting me in creation, I want to develope it myself. I have considered python as I have been familiar in the past with it at a beginner level. I am not 100% looking for a no code app builder but it would be easier. It is a simple app that will utilize a specialized calculator (very simple equation), a notepad, calendar/reminders, and recipes. I mainly want to build it for myself, if I'm the only one who ever uses it, I'm okay with that. But I do intend on sharing it in groups that I believe could use it.
@@i_inf0din254 Go get it! 💪
I don’t normally comment but this is one of the best non code video explainers I’ve seen, thank you.
Thanks Johnny! Glad it helped. 🙌
Yeah my exact same thoughts. I NEVER comment but you hit it on the nail 💯 I’m sure we would engaged in some great 💡
What I love about this, is that you really cut to the chase at the beginning. You essentially have given your viewers the answers from the jump and if they are interested in additional information, then they may stay tuned. This, to me, is theee best approach to any informative video.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. This helps me and my team know we've got the format nailed down. Will do more of this!
@@adrianchinghc You're most welcome.
i agree with this
No bullshit, No dragging out videos, Very realistic and insightful and engaging content. You have gained a new subscriber!
I can already tell that YOUR app would have the best User Experience solely based on how well this video was put together. Straight to the point, concise, simple, and SOMEHOW knew my thought process. Well done.
You deserve 100k subs by the end of this year, I do not usually comment but I enjoyed how you were straight forward with the answer that brought me to this video. But I actually learnt I needed your breakdown and found myself watching till the end. Well-structured and composed. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Thank you for your kind words, Brian! 🙏🏻 Do help us spread the word about the channel. 😁
As a non-tech founder looking to develop an app with a pretty solid idea, this helped so much--thank you! Developer it is!
That FAQ tip alone is worth the sub! There is so much value in giving insight that changes your thought process vs teaching a process.
Glad it was helpful!
Subscribed just because he didn't waste my time and in the first 25 seconds gave me the information I came for. I stayed and watched the fool video, not only to learn more but also to Help his algorithm and hopefully get him more views. TYVM.
Honestly , like for real…. Hope you make it big… because you cut to the chase up front … I hate those RUclipsrs who draw out conclusions!!! Magic!
Thank you! Means a lot to me and my team. 🙏🏻
hey thanks for the video. you are the ONLY reviewer who gave this on-ground info. most other youtuber just read off the website description
I appreciate that, Josh! We try our best to give everything we could and keep it authentic.
Appreciate you sharing the recommendation upfront!
I really enjoyed the fact that you cut straight to the point at the beginning of the video. Liked and sub.
Awesome Luke! Thanks for letting us know!
Awesome video, thanks Adrian! Very helpful and well-structured content.
Most welcome Bryan! Glad it helped! 🙌
Great video man, super refreshing to not have someone peddling one platform they're an affiliate of
Hey Tanner! Thanks! Our goal is to serve our viewers first. ✌️
20 seconds in and you already earned a like, keep it up, you're good at this!
Appreciate it! Welcome!
I just want to say thank you for that amazing intro and getting to the point.. Im sticking around for more but really thank you people dont do that
Thanks for sticking around! 😉
love cutting to the chase, not long lead up, makes me more inclined to stay and see the reason
Thanks for the feedback Leo! We'll do more of these in our future videos.
Fantastic presentation, Adrian - you broke everything down so simply!
This lazy former developer will definitely be checking out your recommendations. I'll let you know how it goes.
Good to hear that! Hope this helped point you in the right direction.
Amazing Video!! They give me Alex Hormozi vibes, high quality and to the point.
Wow, thanks Trevor! We love Alex's content too and we're flattered with your kind words. Will continue to produce high quality content. 🙏🏻
Very helpful! Thank you Adrian!
You're most welcome, Lucia!
I chose watched the whole video specifically because I only had to watch 18 seconds. Getting a subscription for that.
Haha! Thanks Ryan!
Literally what I was just trying to figure out! Genuinely, thank you! 💚
Awesome! Glad it helped! 🙌
Best video on this topic, covers broad questions.
Thank you! Am glad it was helpful ✌️
Liked and subscribed! You deserve more subscribers, I mean it.
Thanks for the sub! Help us spread the word 😉
Adrian firstly thank you for all your hard work and informative videos. In summary, is there no legal recourse for your app idea I.e. IP or copyright then?
subscribed just for the straight to the point advice.
Welcome Thomas! Stay tuned for more straight to the point advice coming your way. ✌️

You gave me the whole answer in the first 15 seconds, bro you're the GOAT 😭😭😭
😉
excellent content, man!
Appreciate it, Daniel! Glad you enjoyed it. 🙏🏻
easy learning curve and scalability is what i need any ideas? great video
You can probably try Adalo.
Great video😃
Thanks 😁
Cool video, thanks for this... If you go to a developer for your app creation, will it then come with Intellectual Property Protection?
It will depend on the arrangement with your developer. Talk to the ones that offer full source code ownership rather than the ones who hold the ownership to continuously charge you for it.
Great insights
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this, very informative. By the way, which no-code app builder for web app do you recommend with the most number of users allowed to use the app per month?
I think Bubble should be a good choice for what you mentioned. For most use cases actually.
Definitely B_ubble, due to it's high scalability
That was very well explained, succinct and helpful. Great video, I'm surprised it doesn't have more views.
I'm thinking about building a mobile app for LED lamps I'm making, so that they can be controlled via Bluetooth smartphone connection. I don't know any coding. Would these no-code app builders be capable of making a simple app with various sliders and buttons to control the LED brightness, colours, pre-programmed patterns etc. I'm not sure if it's relevant but the hardware in the lamp will be a BLE enabled microcontroller and the code to control the LEDs will be in the Arduino programming language (similar to C++).
Thanks @Cogwun for the kind words! 🙏🏻
For your situation, it might be quite complex and will require coding to make it work. We've built an app that controls an IOT device with BLE before but that is not using no-code app builders.
Unless if you're using some pre-programmed products that come with an API then it might be possible with no-code app builders.
Hope that helps!
@@adrianchinghc Thanks, in that case maybe my only option is to hire someone to build the app for me. I've seen some videos on YT where they get people to build apps on 5iver so maybe I'll look into that
@@cogwun Fiverr is a good start. But do be careful and do proper due diligence before hiring one. Good luck!
Hello Cogwun, I know this has been a year ago and you would have probably created this app already, but if you have'nt yet.
You can actually get this app up and running on bubble with the help plugins/APIs to enable the bluetooth functionality, I hope this helps.
Good video. But, why DraftBit vs Flutter Flow? A quick watch of several reviews and almost all go for FF. Why do you particularly lean to DB vs FF? I see that FF has better pricing for the features you get and DB is super new in comparison and a much smaller community which is valuable if you're non tech. Finally, the AI feature on FF could help as a non tech. I ask because I am getting close to this stage.
Great video! What platform would you recommend for an MVP that requires a web-facing and mobile-facing solution? Thank you for any help!
Probably Draftbit. They've got this feature where you can publish your mobile app as a Progressive Web App. Though this is suggested without much context so do check it out first before you go for it.
Awesome video and intro
Thanks Sina!
if i wanted to create a dapp for nft minting, nft staking, nft marketplace and landing pages for it all is bubble a good place to start? i got a jest on solidity but creating react dapps from sceatch has been difficult
I'm not very familiar with NFT and web3 but it seems like there are some tutorials and templates for this:
bubble.io/blog/how-to-build-opensea-clone/
bubble.io/template/nft-marketplace-1662719314807x444473960013496300
Hey mate i know the price Varys with each app and the functions it requires but I was hoping you could give me a ballpark range of how much it costs to pay someone to develop an app for you! Great video btw
Hey Benjamin! Great questions. I have the videos just for you.
How much does app development cost? 👉 ruclips.net/video/NJCLgOrd338/видео.html
How much does app maintenance cost? 👉 ruclips.net/video/QJ0t3G6taMo/видео.html
Both of these are considering that you're getting a developer to build your app from scratch and not with no-code. For no-code, it could be lesser than that.
Hope this helps!
Hello, thank you very much for this video! It was extremely helpful! What platform would you recommend for a mobile app similar to Duolingo? Basically gamified learning
Hey Matt! I would probably go with the recommended tool in this video which is Draftbit. Reason being, you'll be able to export the source code in React Native if and when it gets way too complex and require a developer to take over. Hope this helps!
@@adrianchinghc Thank you! Appreciate it!
This video is the best one I’ve seen on this subject! Thank you so much. Which platform would you suggest for an app that is similar to headspace?
Thank you! Great video. You didn't drag it out, unnecessarily. Is there a no code builder that I can use for food delivery? What about for an uber-like clone?
Tf?! There are youtubers that:
1. Give the answer rigt away and font hold the viwer for 10 min
2. WISHES THE PPL THAT TURN OFF EARLY GOOD LUCK?! HOLY SHIT ❤❤❤❤
Hahaha! If you get what you came for, that's all that matters. ✌️
After I build the app do I still have to pay for the monthly fee? Can I cancel the subscription after I build it?
That will depend on the tool you use as well as your plan. If you're using a tool that allows you to export code like Draftbit and plan to continue building the app through code, then yes you can probably stop subscribing after. But if you plan to continue building it in no code, then you'll need to continue the subscription.
This was an amazing video. Could you do one for 2024 please?
A huge one is coming in a few weeks so stay tuned!
But, you are locked in? You can’t import the source code from Draft Bit or Bubble. Flutterflow better than Draftbit for this reason and softr or webflow for web?
Do you mean export? If yes, then Draftbit allows you to do that. Flutterflow too.
Not for Bubble or Softr.
what do you recommend for web and for mobile?
My preferred recommendation now would be Draftbit for mobile if you have plans to continue building using code 👉 try.draftbit.com/87p7xb0iun7v
Adalo if you're just starting and the app is not too complicated 👉 www.adalo.com/?via=adrianchinghc
For web, Bubble is probably still one of the best but I don't like the vendor lock-in. So I've also suggested 3 alternatives in this video: ruclips.net/video/kfEsmKqFmgY/видео.html
Adrian, when you say there will be no protection on IP in no code platforms, did you mean every one see everyone’s work or just the platform admins and owners have visibility on our apps?
I can't really give any legal advise here since I am not a legal expert but to me, when you build on no code app builders (especially those that you can't export code), you don't own the code. So what IP do you have when you don't own the code right?
@@adrianchinghc that is not what my question was. Let’s say you and are two developers working on two different ideas on the same the app builder platform. Both of us have no connection in any way. Will you be able to see my app design and code and vice Versa?
@@vinayramya1901 Oh no. That's of course not possible since you should only be able to see your own apps.
I feel awkward asking as a beginner and trying to take the shortcut with no code..
Is it possible to make android wear apps and widgets with any of these sites? If so what sites have all 3 capabilities?
Hi Jessica, great question! However, I'm not very familiar with Wear Apps so might not be the best person to ask. It seems like Builder.ai supports that: www.builder.ai/wearable-app-builder/wear-os
You can check it out and perhaps reach out to them to confirm. Hope this helps!
@@adrianchinghc okay, thank you
Hmm my problem with no code apps is it's usually a limited template with limits
100%. This is why I suggested Draftbit which allows you to export the code after you outgrow their builder. But it is definitely good for MVPs.
What is the best non coding app for interactive gaming?
Not an expert on gaming apps but a quick Google lead me to these few:
signup.buildbox.com/
gdevelop.io/
www.soba.xyz/
Though I have to say that I've not used any of these so am not sure which is the best.
how do you feel about softrr
Hey Kaya, unfortunately I'm not able to try out all the app builders out there but from their landing page, it looks pretty good too as long as it fits your use case.
How come it doesn’t have link to your company?
Hey Mark! You can find more about us here: upstackstudio.com/ 😉
I'm looking for 2 apps with same website. 1 app for workers and 1 app for customers. Example Uber, Lyft, Doordash ect. How should I start? I want everything to be integrated. If customer books online, it shows up on workers app. If customer books on app then it will show in workers app. Plus shows up in my admin website. Got any ideas?
Definitely possible and this is what we do all day @ Upstack Studio.
Thanks for reaching out to us and I'll be speaking to you soon on the call Billy!
why you don't recommend flutterflow?
I did mention about Flutterflow here: ruclips.net/video/N2sZbkhD5Gk/видео.html
The information about the top low code platforms, such as Appery, OutSystems, Mendix, and Pega, is completely missing in your video, even though it can easily be found by performing a simple search using the phrase "low code app builder" on any search engine.
The video is about no code app builders. Not low code 😅
Hi Adrian, I am a UX designer with some basic HTML CSS knowledge only, is these tools too hard for me? My goal is to make a simple dating app with some payment functions...
Don't think i'll be able to say whether it's too hard for someone to learn these tools as I don't have much context without knowing you personally.
But some of these tools definitely have quite a learning curve especially for non-techies.
You can always try it out to see if it is too hard for you.
If yes, perhaps getting a no-code developer to help you with the tools can be a great way to speed things up.
thanks for the info. if you want to help me build a sneaker app for my cook group lets talk
Hey Gunner! Sure. Hit me up at contact@upstackstudio.com with more details. Me or my team will get back to you after that. Talk soon!
What does mvp mean?
Got the perfect video for you here: ruclips.net/video/AcNPJbsdwJ8/видео.html
Shared more about MVP. Check it out!
How would Draftbit do at creating a rideshare app similar to Uber and Lyft?
The early prototype shouldn't be a big issue for POC. But as you scale, you'll probably be better off exporting the code and work on custom coding rather than no code as rideshare apps can be quite complex.
What about BuildFire?
Haven't checked out BuildFire before so can't comment on this. Maybe others in the comment section can help?
I want to build a CRM but u have zero knowledge, can you make a video from scratch that has everything from creation, automation, integration, and data handling
What if I want to create an MacOS app? What can I Use?
Hey Lindi. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with MacOS app and a quick google search doesn't seem to return any results on that either. Am not sure if there are any no-code macos app builder out there. If anyone reading this know, do share!
The outro is too loud sir lol lower volume on sound effects to match the volume of your voice.
We'll take note on that. Shared it with my team. Thanks!
J o o l y a n. E d e t o r e
are u from Malaysia?
Yes I am!
Why would i use bubble for websites. Its much easier and better to make website with wordpress
Use what works for you is what i always preach. If Wordpress works for you, go for it.
This video is to introduce some of the no code app builders to those who wants to know more about them.
I think wordpress is more suitable for building static webpages. Bubble let's you create full fledged softwares.
Hey... Let's do a collabo very soon.
Hey! Drop us an email contact@upstackstudio.com Will see what you have in mind. 😉
7:30 had to give video thumbs down, too many loud beeps going on around here while the volume is on low already. It’s late.
You can always tune it down further using the RUclips volume feature.
I can see your vengeance on no code because u come from the coding platform.
Everything comes with certain limitations and no code has to and people use that will sure know that limitations.
Just blaming those limitations and saying it's bad. It's not a great way.
Hahaha. It’s not vengeance at all! How is it vengeance when I love the tools and use it myself too?
Just speaking the real truth so more non-tech peeps will know.
You are talking nonsense my friend
I hope you have a great day my friend
Group hug, my friends!
Would you recommend learning to code yourself to build an MVP?
Some of these builders like Bubble and Draftbit seem to high a steep learning curve, so much so that I’m thinking I can spend 6 months learning full stack to build something myself? Doesn’t have to be perfect but would probably be better to learn those skills for the future as well
Ultimately, it depends on what you really want and your current situation.
Learning a new skill is always good. It helps you understand your product better too.
A few questions that might help you decide:
1. Does knowing how to code help you in your business/career?
2. Learning to code is going to be time consuming. Even more so if technical skills like coding is hard to grasp for some. Do you mind investing that much time?
3. Speed to market is also another concern here. Is your product idea going to be time sensitive?
1 advantage of knowing how to code is that it can help you use these no-code tools even better and faster.
But sometimes it also leads to people not shipping or launching.
No-code helps us to launch fast and iterate quickly without the need to code.
Hope this helps!
@@adrianchinghc Thanks!
@@sidehustle_university101 Most welcome!
Great channel
I'm wandering
For ux designer, which one is better to improve my chance to get a job
Hi Amr Q! While knowing an app builder can be great, I don't think having one would be something that would help you improve your chance at getting a job. At least that's not what I would look at when hiring a UX designer.
Just my personal opinion on this one.
appgyver is free
I believe that is free tier so there'll probably come a point where you'll need to upgrade and go for the paid plan once you publish your app live. But this video isn't really about these app builders pricing. More on the features, functionality and my criteria for picking the right app builder. 😁
@@adrianchinghc i triend appgyver i cant see yet what they cant do. if im not mistaken, there is no code app we can download source code of our app. this could be amazing feature too
@@eidodoos You can download source code with draftbit too. But yeah, I agree being able to download the source code is one of the biggest criteria I have as a developer so I'm not locked in.
