How to save up to 70% of your development costs with No-Code

Anyone who has ever wanted to develop a software or app knows the problem: It takes forever and costs a fortune. Classic software development means months of work by expensive developers, complicated infrastructures and continuous maintenance. But what if you could build an app without writing a single line of code — and save up to 70% of the costs? That is exactly what No-Code makes possible! In this post, I'll explain to you why no-code is a real game changer technology not only for startups but also for large companies.

1. Developer costs? Save the money!

Anyone who has ever hired a development team knows that it really goes into the money. An experienced software developer costs between 80 and 150 euros per hour — and that's just for one person! However, you often need an entire team of frontend, backend and database developers. Five or even six-figure amounts quickly come together here.

With no-code tools like Bubble.io, you can build your app yourself — without a single line of code. The platform provides drag-and-drop features for interfaces, logic, databases, and even API connections. Instead of waiting months or years for an expensive agency or developer, you can implement your idea in a few days or weeks. And if you do need help, you can hire a no-code expert instead — in most cases, this is significantly cheaper than a traditional development team.

2. Your app is ready in weeks instead of months

Time is money — and classic development costs a great deal of time. Many software projects take months or even years. There are countless meetings, bugs need to be fixed, and when requirements change, you often start almost from scratch.

With no-code, you can develop an app much faster. Visual work with prefabricated components eliminates the need for constant programming. Instead of writing code, you simply assemble components and define logics with the click of a mouse. As a result, MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) can often be completed in just a few days or weeks. And if you want to add features later? No problem — even with no-code, it's lightning fast.

3. Maintenance? Runs by itself!

All software needs maintenance — bugs must be fixed, updates installed and security gaps closed. With traditional software development, this means paying expensive developers again to keep everything up to date.

No-code platforms like Bubble.io do many of these tasks for you. Updates and maintenance run automatically in the background without you having to worry about them. This not only saves costs, but also a lot of time and nerves.

4. Hosting & servers? Everything included!

Servers and infrastructure are another major cost in traditional development. Usually, you need:

• A server or cloud service, such as AWS or Google Cloud
• Someone who configures it all
• Ongoing maintenance and scaling

All of this costs money and is rather complicated. No-code platforms do this work for you. Bubble.io, for example, hosts your app directly on its own infrastructure. That means you don't have to worry about anything and save yourself expensive IT costs.

5. Prototyping without budget issues

When you have an idea, you want to test it before you invest thousands of euros. In classic software development, this means that you have to pay an expensive developer just to get a first prototype.

With no-code, you can create prototypes yourself — quickly and cost-effectively. You can test your idea right in a functional app, collect feedback, and make changes without having to hire a developer every time. This is a huge advantage, especially for startups and small companies.

6. No training required for complicated programming languages

Traditional software development is complex. If you want to code yourself, you often have to learn programming languages such as JavaScript, Python or Swift for years. Training courses, boot camps or IT courses not only cost time, but also a lot of money.

With No-Code, you can get started right away. Most platforms are so intuitive that you'll understand the basics within a few days. And if you do have a question, there are plenty of tutorials, communities, and experts to help you out.

7. Scalability? Also possible with no-code!

Many think that no-code apps aren't scalable. That may have been the case in the past, but today, modern no-code platforms can easily grow with you. When your app gets more users, Bubble.io automatically scales the infrastructure. If you want to switch to your own solution at some point, you can extend parts of the app with code or transfer them to a traditional architecture.

Conclusion: No-code saves time, money and nerves

No-code isn't just a trend — it's the future of software development. Whether you're a startup, small company or large company: With No-Code, you can save up to 70% of development costs, get to market faster and focus on what really counts — your business! So why waste money unnecessarily? Try No-Code and see for yourself how easy it is to build a powerful app!
