Draft placeholder — this article's body still needs to be written and fact-checked.

Start from the output, not the tool

Placeholder article body. Decide first what you need to exist at the end: a web app, a mobile app, an internal portal, or a codebase your developers will keep working in.

That single decision removes most of the shortlist before you compare any features.

Then check what happens after version one

Placeholder article body. Ask whether you can export the code, who hosts the app, and what happens to your data if you leave.

Only then compare pricing

Placeholder article body. Pricing models across these platforms differ enough that headline numbers are rarely comparable. Verify current pricing on each vendor's own site.
