Head-to-head
Hayaiti vs. No-code platforms
No-code is genuinely powerful in 2026. If you can build it yourself on Bubble or Webflow, you should — it's the cheapest path to validation. The ceiling exists (performance, custom logic, scale) but you may never hit it.
Quick verdict
If you're choosing between us and No-code platforms…
Pick Hayaiti if
You know what you need (landing page, MVP, internal tool, audit), you want to see numbers before you talk to anyone, and you want it shipped in days not quarters.
Pick No-code platforms if
You're a pre-revenue founder validating a single workflow — for example, a two-sided marketplace MVP where you need to test if both sides will transact before writing any real code. You're technical-enough to learn Bubble in a weekend, your ceiling is a few hundred users for the validation phase, and you're explicitly OK rewriting on real code once you hit product-market fit.

What No-code platforms does well
- Cheapest path to a live product
- You stay in full control
- Modern platforms (Webflow, Bubble) are genuinely capable
- Iterate on the fly without dev cycles
- Cheapest cash spend — Bubble starts ~$32/mo, Webflow ~$23/mo, Glide ~$25/mo
- Fastest time to a working prototype if you're already platform-fluent
- No engineering team needed — non-technical founders can ship to validation
Where No-code platforms struggles
- You don't own the code — platform lock-in is real
- Performance and custom logic ceilings exist
- Migrating off later is painful and expensive
- Your time isn't free either
- Vendor lock-in: your product is the platform's database schema, you can't export and self-host
- Performance ceiling — Bubble apps slow noticeably past ~5K active users without aggressive optimization
- Custom integration limits — third-party APIs work but anything outside the plugin marketplace is painful
- Costs scale punishingly: Bubble subscription climbs from $32/mo to $349+/mo as users and workload units grow; a full rebuild on real code is typically forced around 10K MAU
Honest take
When No-code platforms is the better choice
You're a pre-revenue founder validating a single workflow — for example, a two-sided marketplace MVP where you need to test if both sides will transact before writing any real code. You're technical-enough to learn Bubble in a weekend, your ceiling is a few hundred users for the validation phase, and you're explicitly OK rewriting on real code once you hit product-market fit.
We're not the right answer for everything. If your situation fits the line above, No-code platformswill likely give you a better outcome than we will. We'd rather you know that now.
Our take
When Hayaiti is the better choice
You know what you need (landing page, MVP, internal tool, audit), you want to see numbers before you talk to anyone, and you want it shipped in days not quarters.
You're also not paying for slack. Every SKU is fixed price, fixed timeline, source code in your repo from day one. If we miss the deadline, we refund 25% — that risk lives with us, not you.

Worked example
If you needed an MVP to validate an idea
Through No-code platforms: you'd subscribe to the platform (Bubble, Webflow, etc.), follow tutorials, and build it yourself across nights and weekends. Cheapest cash spend, most expensive in your time.
Through Hayaiti: you'd pick the matching SKU on our pricing page, see the price and timeline before any call, pay 50% to start, and have working code in your repo on day one. We refund 25% if we miss the published deadline.
Both approaches work. Pick based on which trade-offs match how you want to operate.
