In their own words
Noloco
Noloco is a platform for building web and mobile apps, with a built-in database, user authentication, API integrations, and mobile publishing. It supports web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and lists both internal and client-facing app types. The Free plan includes unlimited team seats, up to 50 active clients, 2,000 records, and 30 AI credits per month. Build costs $79 a month, billed monthly, and includes 10 team seats, up to 1,000 active clients, 25,000 records, and 250 AI credits per month. Enterprise lists unlimited records and custom team and client seats, with no price stated. The pricing note describes paid access from $65/mo on an annual basis and a 14-day trial; that differs from the listed monthly Build price. Noloco was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Its combination of app creation, database, authentication, and integrations is intended for teams making web or mobile tools, with separate allowances for team seats, clients, records, and AI credits by plan.
