Presentation
WeWeb is a no-code platform that rethinks how web applications get built. It lets you create custom front-ends connected to any backend, which makes it well suited to customer portals, multi tenant SaaS platforms and internal applications. Where a site builder stops at marketing pages, WeWeb goes further: design freedom, backend flexibility and no-code workflows combine so teams can ship scalable, data driven apps without a full engineering effort. It sits in the same no-code family as Webflow, but its focus is the application layer rather than the marketing website.
How does WeWeb work? The overview below shows the essentials in a few minutes.
How it works
You design your interface in a visual editor, then bind it to real data. WeWeb connects to any API (REST, GraphQL or SOAP) and ships native plugins for backends like Airtable, Xano and Supabase, so your app reads and writes live data. Business logic is built through no-code workflows with actions, branching and a native debugger, and authentication uses industry standard methods, including custom token based systems. Because you can import custom Vue.js components and add your own CSS and JavaScript, WeWeb stays flexible when a project outgrows purely visual building.
Features
- Visual editor: responsive interfaces with data grids, Kanban boards and rich inputs.
- No-code workflows: business logic with actions, branching and a debugger.
- Integrations: connect to any tool with an API, plus native plugins.
- Data source flexibility: REST, GraphQL or SOAP, with Airtable, Xano and Supabase.
- Authentication: standard methods and custom token based systems.
- Extensibility: custom Vue.js components and custom CSS and JS.
Use cases
- Building custom front-ends for various backend systems.
- Creating scalable customer portals and multi tenant SaaS platforms.
- Developing internal applications for teams and enterprises.
- Launching an MVP quickly to validate an idea.
Advantages
- Speed: accelerates web app development with a no-code approach.
- Design and backend freedom: deep customisation and any backend.
- Scalability: supports growing, complex applications.
- Integrations: robust connectivity for richer functionality.
- Customisability: custom components and code when you need them.
Drawbacks
- Learning curve: takes time to master the platform and data logic.
- SEO limits: less complete than dedicated SEO tools, so pair it with Webflow for marketing pages.
- Backend needed: WeWeb is the front-end, you still bring or build the backend.
At BeBranded, we often pair WeWeb with Webflow: Webflow for the marketing site and SEO, WeWeb for the connected app or customer portal behind it.
WeWeb pricing
WeWeb lets you design for free and charges to publish and scale (check current pricing on the official WeWeb website, as plans change):
- Free or starter: build and test projects in the editor at no cost, useful for prototyping before you commit.
- Paid plans: publishing a live app starts roughly in the $39 to $49 per project per month range, rising with traffic, seats and features.
- Scale and enterprise: higher tiers for production apps that need more capacity, collaboration and support.
Prices are indicative and vary with the number of projects, traffic and billing period. Always verify the latest pricing on the official WeWeb website before you decide.
WeWeb alternatives
Several tools compete with WeWeb depending on how much backend they include:
- Bubble, an all-in-one no-code platform that bundles the backend.
- Retool, focused on internal tools and admin panels over your data.
- Wappler, a visual builder that generates clean code across stacks.
- Webflow, the reference for marketing sites, often used alongside WeWeb.
WeWeb stands out as a front-end builder that connects to any backend, so you keep full control of your data. Bubble bundles everything for speed, while WeWeb suits teams that already have or want a separate backend. For a Webflow project we pair Webflow for the site with WeWeb for the app.
WeWeb with Webflow and no-code
WeWeb and Webflow are a natural pairing in a no-code stack. Webflow handles the marketing site, SEO and content, while WeWeb builds the connected application, customer portal or dashboard behind it. Users move from your Webflow pages into a WeWeb app that reads and writes real data, without a full engineering team. As a Webflow agency, we design this split and build the application layer through our web apps service, so your marketing site and your product feel like one experience.
