The short version

  • Only Hevo Data has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Hevo Data billed on events ingested rather than on connectors or seats, so the bill tracks how chatty the sources are; Noloco pricing follows user counts, and a client portal is by definition many low-activity users, so an agency with a few hundred client logins climbs the bands quickly for people who sign in twice a month.
  • They diverge on capability: Hevo Data covers No-code pipeline builder, Noloco covers Row-level permissions.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Hevo Data

  • Billed on events ingested rather than on connectors or seats, so the bill tracks how chatty the sources are
  • The free plan allows 1M events a month and the Starter plan starts at $265 a month billed annually
  • Event volume is a priced tier inside each plan, at 5M, 20M or 50M on Starter
  • Usage above the plan quota is charged as on demand on top of the subscription, and the overage rate is not published anywhere on the pricing page
  • Paying monthly rather than annually raises Starter from $265 to $299

Noloco

  • Pricing follows user counts, and a client portal is by definition many low-activity users, so an agency with a few hundred client logins climbs the bands quickly for people who sign in twice a month.
  • Limits are inherited from the data source. Airtable record ceilings, API rate limits and slow queries appear in the portal your customers use, and no setting inside Noloco can fix them.
  • Design control is deliberately narrow. You get a consistent application shell rather than a bespoke interface, which is fine for operations and a problem for anything marketing-led.
  • It is a small vendor competing directly with Airtable Interfaces and Softr, both far larger, so roadmap pace and long-term viability are legitimate procurement questions.
  • Output is responsive web only, with no native mobile application and no offline mode, so field staff on poor connections are not served by it.

Source
Noloco: Do I need Airtable to use it?

No. Airtable is the most common source but PostgreSQL, MySQL, Google Sheets, HubSpot and built-in Noloco tables all work.

Hevo Data: How are Hevo Data events counted?

Each record inserted, updated, or deleted in the destination counts as one event toward the monthly quota.

Source
Noloco: Can external clients log in without paying for seats?

Client and internal users are counted differently, but they are still counted, so a portal with many client logins moves you up the plan bands. Check the current band definitions before committing to a per-client model.

Hevo Data: Does Hevo Data offer annual discounts?

Yes, Hevo Data offers 12% discount for annual billing on all paid plans.

Source
Noloco: How is this different from Softr?

Both build portals over existing data. Noloco leans harder on permissions and multiple database sources; Softr leans on templates, speed to a first version and a bigger ecosystem.
