How to choose
Which platforms does your app need to run on?
Choose a builder that supports the platforms your intended users rely on. App targets are a comparison field on this board.
The listed platform coverage includes web, Android, iOS, API, macOS, and Windows. Check a tool's supported targets before committing.
What should you compare before paying?
Compare the free plan, paid starting price, and any free trial before choosing.
Check whether the listed starting price fits your budget and whether the free plan or trial gives you enough room to decide.
Do you need a hosted backend?
Compare the hosted-backend field with what your app needs. A backend is the part that can handle an app's data and behind-the-scenes work.
Also check builder mode, since the board compares that alongside backend hosting.
Can you export the app's source code?
If you need to keep or change the app's code outside the builder, check its source-code export option before signing up.
Check the open-source mark and licence as well if access to the underlying tool's code matters to you.
What do you need to publish your app?
Compare the custom-domain and published-app-limit fields with your plans for releasing the app.
Before choosing, confirm that the builder supports the apps and services you already use; the board's comparison fields do not specify integrations.
