Find the answers you need
about developing Apps

What is the best tool to build an app if I can't code?
+
-

No-code builders: Tools like Noloco, Bubble, Thunkable, let you drag-and-drop screens, connect data, and publish without writing code.
‍Pros: Fast, accessible, cheaper to start, Noloco is good for internal tools, others  for MVPs (minimum viable products).
‍Cons: Some tools might have limited flexibility, scaling issues, harder to add custom features later.

Can AI build an entire app?
+
-

Today: AI can get you ~50–80% of the way (prototypes, MVPs, boilerplate code). You still need a developer (or at least a tech-savvy person) to polish, test, secure, and deploy.
‍Tomorrow: AI will keep shrinking the gap — especially for non-coders wanting simple apps.

Can I build an app with no coding?
+
-

Yes, you can build an internal app without coding using Noloco, a no-code platform designed to empower non-technical users to create custom applications. If you want to build instead an MVP or customer facing APP, you should use other tools, like Bubble.

What’s the difference between native, hybrid, low-code, no-code tools?
+
-

Native: Built with platform languages (Swift/Objective-C for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android).Best performance, full device access, best user experience.But requires separate builds for iOS and Android.
‍Hybrid / Cross-platform: Single codebase → multiple platforms (React Native, Flutter, Ionic, Cordova).Faster, cheaper, good balance between speed & performance.Slightly less “native feel” or advanced performance.
‍Low-code: Visual + code mix (OutSystems, Mendix, FlutterFlow).Speeds up development but allows coding for complex logic.Great for business apps with some custom needs.
‍No-code: 100% visual, drag-and-drop.Accessible for non-developers.Limited customization, lock-in risk.

What tools exist to build apps quickly — prototypes vs production?
+
-

Prototypes / MVPs: Figma (design), Bubble, Thunkable. Fast to build, easy to show to investors/users.
‍Production apps: Flutter, React Native, Swift, Kotlin.Scalable, customizable, long-term maintainable.

How much will it cost, how long will it take with different tools?
+
-

No-code: $20–200/month for platform fees. MVP can be ready in days/weeks.
‍Cross-platform (React Native/Flutter): Freelancers $25–100/hr; small app $10k–30k; mid app $30k–100k. Takes 2–6 months.
‍Native (Swift/Kotlin): Usually most expensive; $20k–200k+ depending on complexity. Takes 4–12 months.
‍DIY (learning + building): Mostly your time investment; free to start, but slower.

“With Noloco, we're able to onboard people very quickly and easily. The second they get that link, they're dropping all their documents, and filling in their information. Now I have everything and it's all tagged, rather than sending me an email with 20 attachments and having to sort through and organize them myself."

RE Cost Seg
“As CMO, I was able to build an amazing app on Noloco without needing to use our team of full-stack developers. This freed up our internal resources and resulted in massive cost savings.

Luke Branford
