The short version

  • Only WeWeb has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; 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: Noloco covers Row-level permissions, 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
