Bubble
Bubble lets non-developers build fully functional web applications — with user auth, a real database, workflows, and conditional logic — entirely visually. It is more complex than Webflow but produces real apps, not just websites. The free plan is limited; production apps require a paid plan for custom domains and performance.

Glide turns spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable) into mobile-first web apps without code. Point-and-click UI builder, built-in user auth, and Glide AI for computed columns and AI actions. Best for simple data-driven apps — directories, field service tools, event apps — where the data already lives in a spreadsheet.
