Directual plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

People bring Directual in for providing the backend for a webflow or flutterflow front end that needs real data, authentication and logic, replacing an airtable base that has outgrown its row limits without hiring a backend developer, event-driven workflows such as order processing or scheduled billing runs that must run without a person triggering them, organisations with a data residency requirement that rules out most no-code platforms, using the self-hosted tier. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Directual are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in No-Code
Too few no-code tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Directual (this page) | Free | quote | - | |
| OutSystems | On request | Application Object consumption plus internal and external user packs | - | vs Directual |
| Mendix | Free | Per application tier (One App vs Unlimited Apps), cloud infrastructure billed separately | - | vs Directual |
| Caspio | On request | Flat monthly fee by data record volume and DataPage count, unlimited users included | - | vs Directual |
| Appian | On request | Per user, per app, per month, escalating across Standard, Advanced and Premium tiers | - | vs Directual |
| Quickbase | On request | Per user per month, billed annually, with an enforced minimum seat count per tier | - | vs Directual |
| Zoho Creator | Free | Per user per month, billed annually | - | vs Directual |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Directual badges page.
Before you pay for Directual
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Directual runs on web, and is published by Directual. The full record is on the Directual review, and the rest of the category is under best no-code tools.
