Question Regarding No-code tools

I'm looking into various no code products to help with a quick mvp, but each product charges × per month or year. If I need 3 or 4 different tools that quickly adds up $$$ wise. How do no coders deal with that? Any advice?

    Ya I experienced this today too, it’s pretty expensive but at the end of the day it’s nothing compared to development costs

      thanks for your input

    Find the ones that you can get a free tier, or not at all.
    Carrd has a black friday deal, so it's hella cheap per year: NoCodeBlackFriday.com
    Zapier does have a free tier. Airtable has a free tier.

    I’m sure we’ll see some consolidation in the next few years for better or worse

      perhaps, the more tools the more $$$ it seems. For a bootstrapper that could become costly down the road

    As @Bsme said, it is cheaper than a dev costs. @AndrewKamphey Zapier has a free tier (https://zapier.com/pricing ) and I always remind people about Microsoft Flow. $15 with an unlimited number of flows (https://us.flow.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/).

    @Milestonehackers, you’re forgetting the advantage of not depend on a developer (if you are concern about pricing and not get the best developer in your network, stick with no code... it’ll be away cheaper

      thanks for your input.

    I would say with around $100 / month you should be covered for major things. I use 4 tools => webflow / zapier / memberstack & airtable and some of them still on the free tier. Depends on the complexity of your projects. Although webflows pricing does feel a bit annoying (charging for both amount of projects and feature tiers separately)

      thats not too bad. I took advantage of carrds black Friday deal

    I recently created a screencast walking through an MVP setup with Webflow, MemberStack, and Zapier.

    Find it here: https://nocodequest.com/personalization-with-unique-member-dashboards/

    Costs:

    $15/month - Webflow site plan
    $20/month - Zapier
    $25/month - MemberStack
    --------------------------------------------
    $60/month

    This price per month for an application you can build quickly, don't have to maintain, and can very easily charge users a monthly subscription for is a really good deal.

    FYI, I've set all of that up on the free tiers (minus Zapier). So to build out something it's costing me $20/month. When I go live, $60/month.
