Hello,
Has anyone tried out Bildr.com? I heard the Bildr platform was built in Bildr itself or trying to, can’t remember. They also claim to be for “no-code professionals,” in the same arena as Wappler. I’d love to hear a comparison of the two.
Just saw that there’s Youtube videos and Wappler seems way better still imo

This is comparing sour prunes with Sunkist oranges. They are not in the same league. One is a proper IDE, the other is a web-based application. Company goes belly-up? One loses ALL information, the other can be edited using another IDE.
I can keep going; but I think that you get the gist.

Totally agree - I wrote the post before seeing their demo on youtube
Love the analogy you made

I think with almost all no-code editors you are limited with the functionality they provide. They maybe are more user friendly and provide a lot of features, but you finally you want to have a specific feature that they don’t offer and you are stuck. Wappler isn’t a fully no-code editor, it gives you best of both. It tries to give you the tools to create an app or website without needing to code but also gives you a way to add your own code or do the whole coding yourself. Wappler gives you more freedom.

I don’t think Wappler is aimed at 100% no-code. Yes, it rights the code for you but you still need a knowledge of database structures, some coding, etc. to produce top results. I see Wappler as a tool to massively speed up the writing of top-quality code. I reckon what used to take me a week can now be done in a day or less with Wappler.

@patrick explained it so much better than me!

Wappler is a category of its own. There is no alternative regarding Wappler. Yes, there are other solutions that might be similar or do some stuff that Wappler does, but as already said in previous answers, Wappler has the best of both. You can speed up 1000% development time while producing cutting edge results while you can freely add your own stuff. There is no other solution (as far as I know) that interacts so freely with a custom database.

Adding to Patrick’s explanation… from our little experience with Webflow (no-code platform) and what we have read about numerous others tools, the term that is more appropriate for Wappler is Low Code.
Achieving a “top-notch” application via any no-code tool out there, at the moment, looks impossible.
Without custom plugins/code/modules etc, one can only build top-notch static websites.
We understand that low-code is the way forward and a no-code tool cannot ever suit every single type of weird and sometimes illogical business requirements apps may need.

Low Code is quite misused term now. DronaHQ says its a low code tool, so does AWS Honeycomb and many others.
Their capabilities are not half of what can be done with Wappler.
We need a new terminology for Wappler’s league!
not just bildr, there are other wannabes out there like: uibakery, adalo, draftbit, appgyver, etc.
but all have some major limitations (which is very subjective depending on the use case - but when compared to what Wappler allows you to do, it evidently limited) and some better stuff than Wappler as well.
But for us Wappler’s seemingly limitless capabilities when building a web app is more important than others.

We build Wapplercations!
Only Wappler has this capability. There is nothing like Wappler on the market full-stop. New territory and as @nshkrsh points out above it deserves its own terminology from here on out.

Hey any chance someone provide a more detailed comparison of Wrappler vs Bildr?
From what I can see, both are the top low-code applications for developers to create advanced custom web apps (excluding overpriced/limited enterprise solutions). Considering Bildr built itself with its own application, it seems comparable to Wrappler in this regard.
I’m digging into this now, so I’ll add my perspective, but I’d think clarity on this comparison from Wrappler would be valuable to others who will be comparing these two applications.
Thanks!
Mike
Welcome to Wappler, Mike.
Two completely different products. No comparison. Biggest advantage that Wappler has (and there are many) is that Wappler does not tie you to it’s product/hosting in any way. You own the code. Host anywhere and build unlimited web and mobile apps. You can leave Wappler at any time and your projects will still work.

Thanks Brad. Yes I understand the difference of code export. But I’m still unclear on other capabilities. Maybe this is a longer answer more suitable for a blog with a table comparing both applications’ features. So I’ll dig into both applications and post what I find.
It is really hard to compare tools. Wappler is a unique product. Great for developers/designers/front/back. You can expose the code if you want or work as a low-code solution. Dexterity is above and beyond. Support is worth the monthly subscription alone, this community is worth its weight in gold.
To quote Ben...
Could go on and on about the benefits but others are far more elegant at doing so than me.
Welcome by the way. We hope you stick around!
To keep it simple. the difference that counts is this.
When I have finished developing the site in Wappler and have published the site, I no longer need Wappler. I stop the subscription and paying for the product.
When I need to make minor changes to the website, I open my free-of-charge Visual Studio and make the alterations. Need to make major changes? Could be done using VS, but to save time (and money) I take out a one month subscription of Wappler and make the changes. In fact, I could even create a new project in that one month.
Try ending the subscription to Bildr and see what happens to your project.
