⚠️ 6 No-Code Platform Gotchas to Watch For
No Code Export:HIGH Many no-code platforms don't let you export your actual application code—if you leave, you rebuild from scratch on a different platform
Hosting Lock-in:HIGH Your app can only run on their infrastructure. There's no option to self-host or deploy to your own servers, regardless of plan
Database Portability:MEDIUM While you may export data as CSV, the database structure, relationships, and workflows are platform-specific and non-transferable
Plugin/Connector Dependency:MEDIUM Third-party plugins can be removed from the marketplace at any time, potentially breaking critical app functionality
Workload/Operation Limits:HIGH "Unlimited" plans often have hidden caps on API calls, workflows, database operations, or "workload units" that can halt your app
White-Label Restrictions:MEDIUM Lower tiers may require platform branding, and custom domains or removal of "Built with [Platform]" badges require premium plans
