The 12+ Best No-Code App Builders in 2026

If you're tired of juggling multiple platforms to build your app, manage databases, and create automations, AgentUI solves this problem by bringing everything under one roof. This is the platform that finally connects the dots between app development and workflow automation—something that's been missing from the no-code space. The magic of AgentUI lies in its unified approach. When you build an app, you're automatically creating a database that your automations can tap into. Need to trigger a workflow when a user submits a form? It's already connected. Want to display automation results in your app's dashboard? The data flows seamlessly. This eliminates the friction of setting up API connections, managing webhooks, or dealing with third-party integration platforms just to make your tools talk to each other.

Zapier is different from other no-code app builder options on the list: it's not as flexible when building a UI for your tools, offering a simpler experience. You won't have pixel-perfect control over the frontend. Still, the drag-and-drop builder has all the features to build good landing pages to engage prospects or customers, forms to capture leads, client portals to help customers discover resources, and much more. You can add password protection to restrict access to privileged pages and payments to monetize your product or solution. On the data side, it supports creating data tables to save data either long-term to serve in your interfaces, or temporarily as you execute a complex Zap (automation flow).

Don't be deceived by how simple Softr looks. It may lack the complex vibe we associate with powerful apps, but the range of things you'll be able to build—and the customization options at your disposal—is surprisingly good. In the past two years, it has turned its focus to customer portals and internal tools, although you might still find it useful for building MVPs depending on your product requirements, target audience, and tech stack. You'll be building the user interface block-by-block. This means less granular control over the nitty-gritty, but a lot more speed when putting together forms, lists, or payment flows.

Bubble has its own visual programming language, making it accessible for beginners to create an app without code, while still providing the freedom and flexibility of a platform on the low-code spectrum. You'll have a lot of control over UI, data structure, and overall performance. It's so robust that some no-code agencies use only Bubble to build apps for their clients. A normal day in front of the editor involves building the UI with controls similar to Canva, working with data on a screen that looks like Excel, and setting up the logic step-by-step using workflows, reminiscent of Zapier.

Using an app on multiple devices boosts your productivity: laptops excel at deep work, while phones shine for quick actions on the go. Building an app for both these environments—and all experiences in-between—could get quite intensive, forcing you to think deeply about responsive design. Glide skips this step: your apps will deliver a smooth user experience on any device without extra setup. Thanks to its highly structured UI building experience, you can set up each tab in one of the available layouts—for example, swipe, checklist, or cards—establishing the overall look and functionality.

When you're building AI features into your app, you'll spend a decent chunk of your development time setting up the API calls to OpenAI to send your data and get an output. While other no-code platforms have a set of general connections to help you do this, Momen has an integrated AI agent builder that makes this process faster and easier to manage—and that's on top of its full-stack capabilities. You have all the tools to provide an LLM with everything it needs to give a good response back into your app. You can add as many inputs as you want, selecting the data type (including images and video for multimodal).

Web apps, Chrome extensions, progressive web apps for phones, and blockchain-enabled apps for Web3—these are the apps that work best on Bildr. What I like the most about it, apart from this flexibility, is the highly visual building process. If you've ever used Figma, a popular product prototyping platform, the user interface will ring a few bells. If you haven't, then a whiteboarding app like Miro is the next best analogy. You'll see all the pages, screens, and patterns of your app in one big canvas.

Backendless is for brave, tech-forward folks. It ranks low in ease of use (compared to the other apps that made this list), and it almost failed the "is it really no-code?" test. Why is it on this list, then? Because of its flexibility, documentation, and community. The apps we use today can be divided into two main parts: a frontend (the user interface, buttons, and input fields we interact with) and the backend (the range of servers and connected services to store data and process the app's logic). Backendless started as a backend-as-a-service platform, helping developers put together all the databases and services to get a website, app, or cloud service up and running.

Full-stack solutions—those that combine data, interface, and workflows into a single platform—are great because you can go from zero to launch without having to use anything else. But this also means that you're depending on a single company, which can get complicated with price hikes, outages, or roadmaps that diverge from your development priorities. The solution? Decouple frontend and backend and go full modular with WeWeb for UI and Xano for infrastructure. WeWeb's editor window is super clean and well-organized. It takes some time getting used to it due to the number of features, but once you get the lay of the land, it's easy to find the controls to see page structure, add new elements, or set up the backend.

A triple: the FlutterFlow, Firebase, and Buildship combo is not for the faint of heart and not completely no-code, but it can reduce the difficulty of creating an app that runs on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and even Linux systems. FlutterFlow is the leader of the group, and where you'll spend most of your time designing the user interface and adjusting core app settings. The UI design process is intuitive and feels powerful, especially since it supports advanced smartphone finger actions. Firebase takes care of user accounts and databases. It has a generous free plan offering plenty of storage and compute to run your infrastructure, which is great to keep your runway long even as you acquire new users at a good pace.

Retool has carved out a niche as the go-to platform for building internal tools quickly. Unlike general-purpose app builders, Retool focuses specifically on the kinds of apps that operations teams, customer support, and internal stakeholders need: dashboards, admin panels, data management interfaces, and workflow tools. The platform excels at connecting to existing databases and APIs. Whether you're working with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, REST APIs, or GraphQL endpoints, Retool makes it simple to pull in your data and build interfaces around it.

Adalo makes it remarkably easy to build mobile apps without code. The platform is specifically designed for creating native mobile applications, and it shows in how intuitive the building process is. You can see exactly how your app will look on a phone as you build, with a library of pre-built components optimized for mobile interactions. The drag-and-drop interface is one of the most approachable in the no-code space. You can add screens, components, and actions without getting bogged down in technical details. Adalo handles the responsive design automatically, so your app looks good on different screen sizes without extra work.
