- Complex apps can hit performance limits compared to hand-coded applications as data and workflow complexity grows.
- The visual workflow editor has a steep learning curve for genuinely complex business logic.
- Free tier cannot host apps on a custom domain, limiting it to prototyping rather than production launches.
Wufoo
- Free plan caps at 5 forms and 100 entries
- Starter plan ($16.25/mo) still limits to 10 forms and 1,000 entries per month
- Accepting payments requires the Professional tier ($33.25/mo) or higher; Free and Starter tiers cannot take payments at all
