It seems that coding skills are becoming less and less of a barrier to building and launching a successful application.
No-code tools have offered everyone from small businesses to enterprises the opportunity to achieve digital transformation both simply and sustainably. In the words of Forbes contributor John Everhard, no-code, as well as often-associated low-code, solutions help “build powerful applications that can scale for any organization—without writing any code.”
Everhard further discussed in his article the powerful impact that no-code tools, also known as codeless tools, can have. With these types of software, IT teams no longer need to spend 60% of their time keeping their current systems working. Instead, no-code solutions help companies maintain a competitive edge over their peers with up to a 75% improvement on time to market.
Industry analysts have taken note of the “no-code movement” as well, with Gartner predicting that low-code application platforms (LCAP) will account for 65% of application development activity by 2024. Enterprises seem to be taking note as well, whether by acquiring codeless tools or by releasing no-code capabilities of their own.
With that in mind, here is a list of different tools to keep on your radar in the no-code space. These tools cover every stage of application development, although there are other solutions that are not covered here, such as industry-specific solutions and payment applications.
