Businesses use code generation platforms for a variety of reasons such as:
- Prototyping a new idea or product
- Automating processes or workflows
- Creating a program
- Creating simple tasks for yourself
- Creating a website.
However, finding the right solution that fits the needs of organizations is not easy as there are many codeless software solutions in the market. That’s why we created this article to inform business leaders about the capabilities and features of codeless tools and a list of the top vendors in the market and their market presence and capabilities.
What is a codeless development platform?
A code-free development platform is a software program that provides a development environment for users, usually non-programmers or business users, to design and develop programs without the need to write code.
The popularity of code-free development tools raises the question of “Does no code enter the software development environment?”. However, code-free software was developed as a business solution to support middle-class solutions and businesses that require technical knowledge or coding skills and can be used by non-technical users who are often called citizen developers.
This approach democratizes job growth by managing technical needs and application parameters. A no-code approach enables companies to quickly adapt and change, allowing non-technical staff to participate in the development process.

7 top apps that don’t use code
When selecting suppliers to investigate in our research, we narrowed down the list of suppliers based on certain criteria. We used the number of B2B reviews by the company’s employees to estimate its presence in the market because this is public and reliable.
Therefore, we set limits to place our work on top companies based on market availability, choosing companies that have:
- 500+ employees
- 200+ reviews on analytics platforms including G2, Trustradius, Capterra
- at least one of the Fortune 500
The following companies meet these requirements:
1- Creation
2 – Aviation
3- ServiceNow App Engine
4- Salesforce Platform
5 – Quickbase
6- Jotform software
7- Microsoft Power Apps
We have analyzed vendors based on market availability and sales (eg, free trial & pricing). You can select Table 1, for example, easily using ratings.

No-code software to consider when narrowing down your options
System management
This functionality helps organizations to transform businesses within their organization. Once conditions and triggers are established, no-code software handles these tasks, improving efficiency and reducing effort for business users.
Creating an App
Code-free platforms enable users to create mobile apps using an easy-to-use interface, often using drag and drop. Therefore, people with little or no skills can create programs that meet their needs.
For example, a restaurant can create a table reservation management system. They can create an interface that allows customers to choose the date, time, and table, and the system will change the availability of the restaurant in real time without writing code.
Customizable UI
Businesses can customize the look of their app to reflect their brand and to gain more user experience. This creates a consistent brand image across all digital channels, which can increase customer loyalty and satisfaction.
AI/ML models
Some codeless platforms come with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems. These models can be integrated into these programs to provide advanced tools and capabilities that can assist in decision making.
In combination with other tools
No-code software often integrates with other tools and systems, allowing easy data transmission across platforms. This can help businesses create a collaborative technology environment within their company.
Offline functionality
Applications that can work offline can be developed using code-free platforms. As a result, users can use certain applications even when they are offline, and any changes they make will be synced once they are connected to the Internet. This ensures that even in areas with poor internet connectivity, users can access and benefit from the app.
Customer service
No-code platforms provide customer support to help consumers use the platform and solve problems they may encounter. This ensures that customers can use the platform effectively and resolve any issues they may encounter and may take the form of training, a dedicated channel, live chat, email, or phone support.
Data security
In codeless platforms, data security is a priority. In order to protect the confidential information held by the software developed on these platforms, strong security measures must be implemented. This may include secure user authentication and compliance with data protection laws. Data security ensures that everything related to your company, as well as any data from users or customers, is kept safe.
