The short version

  • Each has a real cost: ProtoPie the free plan allows 2 prototypes, 8 scenes per prototype and 50MB of cloud storage; WeWeb there is no database, authentication provider or server-side logic layer, so a WeWeb project is always at least two subscriptions and the total cost is never the price on the pricing page.
  • They diverge on capability: ProtoPie covers Interactive prototyping, WeWeb covers Backend agnostic.
  • 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.

ProtoPie

  • The free plan allows 2 prototypes, 8 scenes per prototype and 50MB of cloud storage
  • Free prototypes carry a watermark and shareable links require the Basic plan
  • Saving prototypes locally requires the Pro plan
  • Team libraries and handoff recordings require the Pro plan
  • Basic caps storage at 500MB and prototypes at 20
  • Single sign on, private servers, custom fonts and custom hardware integrations are Enterprise only
  • Enterprise requires a minimum of 3 seats and is priced by quote
  • Connect Core is a paid add on at $20 per user per month

WeWeb

  • There is no database, authentication provider or server-side logic layer, so a WeWeb project is always at least two subscriptions and the total cost is never the price on the pricing page.
  • Self-hosting and the more useful delivery options sit on higher tiers, so on entry plans you are hosting with WeWeb and depending on its uptime for a production application.
  • The learning curve is closer to a front-end framework than to a drag and drop builder; collections, bindings and state assume you understand how data flows through an interface, which defeats non-technical buyers.
  • Output is web only. There is no native mobile build, so anything that must appear in the App Store needs a wrapper or a different tool entirely.
  • It is a small European vendor competing against far larger platforms, so procurement teams that assess supplier viability, support depth and long-term roadmap will need convincing before signing.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

ProtoPie: How much does ProtoPie cost?

ProtoPie offers a free plan ($0/month), Basic at $25/month, and Pro at $47/month per editor. Annual billing offers up to 26% savings. Enterprise pricing is custom for minimum 3 seats.

Source
WeWeb: Do I need another product to use WeWeb?

Yes. It builds the front end only. You need a backend such as Supabase, an existing database or an API before the application does anything useful.

ProtoPie: Is there a free version of ProtoPie?

Yes. The free plan includes 2 prototypes, 8 scenes per prototype, and 50MB cloud storage. Perfect for trying the platform.

Source
WeWeb: Can I host the app myself?

On the higher tiers, yes. That is one of the main reasons agencies choose it, because the delivered application can run without the vendor in the path.

ProtoPie: What is included in the Pro plan?

Pro plan at $47/month includes unlimited prototypes, unlimited handoff recordings, 5GB team storage, local saving, and team libraries per editor.

Source
WeWeb: Is it suitable for someone who cannot code?

Less so than most no-code builders. You do not have to write code, but you do have to think like a front-end developer about state, collections and bindings.

ProtoPie: What add-on products does ProtoPie offer?

Connect Core ($20/month per user), Connect Enterprise and Connect Embedded (custom pricing), and User Testing (custom pricing, annual-only for Pro plan users).
