The short version
- Only WeWeb has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Stacker there is no source export and no self-hosting, so leaving means rebuilding the entire interface and permission model elsewhere, even though the underlying records remain yours.; 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: Stacker covers Per-record permissions, WeWeb covers Backend agnostic.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Stacker
- There is no source export and no self-hosting, so leaving means rebuilding the entire interface and permission model elsewhere, even though the underlying records remain yours.
- Performance is bounded by the data source, so an Airtable base near its row limit or an API under rate limiting produces a slow portal that no amount of Stacker configuration will fix.
- Pricing distinguishes internal editors from external portal users, so a portal that succeeds by adding hundreds of light-touch external users can end up costing more than the internal system it fronts.
- Custom logic is limited to the actions and conditions the builder exposes, so anything resembling a calculation engine or a branching multi-step approval hits a wall and needs an external automation tool bolted on.
- It is a portal and CRUD tool by design, with no offline mode, no native mobile application and no real reporting layer, so it will not be the only system a growing operation runs.
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.

Questions people ask
- Is Stacker or WeWeb better?
- Neither clearly leads. Stacker starts at On request and WeWeb at Free, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Stacker or WeWeb?
- WeWeb has a free tier; the other does not. Paid plans start at On request for Stacker and Free for WeWeb.
- Does Stacker or WeWeb run on more platforms?
- Both run on Web, so platform support will not decide this one for you.
- Can I use WeWeb for free?
- Yes. WeWeb has a free tier, so you can try it without paying. Stacker starts at On request.
- What is Stacker best used for?
- Stacker is most often used for giving clients a login that shows only their own records inside an internal airtable base, contractor or franchisee portals where each account must see one slice of a shared dataset, replacing a spreadsheet emailed to partners with a permissioned live view of the same data, putting a usable interface on a salesforce or postgres dataset for users who should never see the underlying system. Of those, giving clients a login that shows only their own records inside an internal airtable base and contractor or franchisee portals where each account must see one slice of a shared dataset are not what WeWeb is typically brought in for.
- What can Stacker do that WeWeb cannot?
- Stacker covers Per-record permissions, External user portals, Live connection to the source, Page and layout builder. WeWeb covers Backend agnostic, Vue output, Data binding and workflows, Custom code.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Stacker: Where does my data live?
In the source you connect: Airtable, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets or your own Postgres. Stacker reads and writes to it rather than becoming the system of record.
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.
Stacker: Can I export the app if I cancel?
No. The data stays in your source system, but the interface, permissions and workflows are Stacker configuration and do not come with you.
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.
Stacker: Is it suitable for hundreds of external users?
Technically yes; check the pricing arithmetic first, because external portal users are charged separately and that is where the bill grows.
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.
Stacker: Will it replace Airtable?
No, it sits in front of Airtable. If the base itself is at its limits, the fix is moving the data to Postgres rather than changing the portal.
