Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between low-code and no-code platforms?

Low-code platforms are designed for developers and technical users to build applications with minimal hand-coding, whilst no-code platforms target non-technical business users with entirely visual interfaces. Most modern platforms blur this distinction, but low-code platforms typically allow custom code extension when needed.

Which low-code platform is best for enterprise applications?

Mendix and OutSystems are the market leaders for enterprise-grade applications, offering comprehensive security, compliance, scalability and governance. Salesforce Platform and Appian are strong alternatives depending on your existing infrastructure and process automation requirements.

How much do low-code platforms typically cost?

Pricing ranges significantly: budget platforms like Zoho Creator and Airtable cost $10-30 per user monthly, whilst enterprise platforms like Mendix and OutSystems involve custom pricing often exceeding $100-200+ per user annually. Microsoft Power Apps sits in the mid-range at approximately £20 per user monthly.
