WeWeb

A visual front-end builder that connects to any backend — Supabase, Xano, a REST API — where AI can generate pages and logic, aimed at teams who want a real coded app without hand-writing the frontend.

What you'd use it for

Building the visual front end of a real app on top of a backend you already have or choose, without hand-coding the interface.

Design pages visually and bind them directly to live data from Supabase, Xano, Airtable or a REST API
Build and edit a backend's own data tables and APIs without leaving the WeWeb editor, using its built-in backend
Generate pages and workflow logic from a plain-language prompt with the WeWeb AI assistant
Export the finished app as real Vue.js code and self-host it instead of staying on WeWeb's own hosting
Import custom-coded components for anything the visual editor can't reach

The verdict

WeWeb earns its place for people who already have, or want to choose, their own backend and just need a serious visual way to build the interface on top of it — the code export on the Essential tier is a real escape hatch, not a marketing line. It gets you to a working prototype faster than hand-coding a front end, but 'weeks not months' is still weeks — this is not a same-afternoon tool. WeWeb apps are client-rendered single-page apps, and WeWeb's own 2026 roadmap post says server-side rendering is deliberately not being built this year (they call it a long-term idea, not a near-term one), so a public site chasing organic search needs a prerendering workaround on top — internal tools, dashboards and logged-in products aren't affected by any of this.

What it costs

Tier	Price	For	Includes
Free	$0/month	Personal projects and evaluating the editor.	The visual drag-and-drop editor, API and data integration, a 14-day trial of the WeWeb MCP server, deploy to WeWeb cloud up to 1,000 sessions.
Essential	$20/month	A solo developer who wants to own the code.	Everything in Free plus exporting and self-hosting the code, GitHub sync, unlimited WeWeb cloud sessions, daily editor backups.
Pro	Per-developer pricing; the exact monthly figure did not render correctly on the vendor's own pricing page at the time of this check. Separate AI token add-on packages run $50–$300/month for 25–150 million tokens.	Teams that need to add seats and collaborate.	Everything in Essential plus additional seats, hourly auto-backups, unlimited MCP server access, protection from AI edits on locked resources.
Enterprise	Custom pricing	Organisations with hosting and compliance requirements beyond the standard cloud tiers.	Custom deployment and support arrangements.

What you need to start

A free WeWeb account, no credit card needed for the Free plan
A backend or database if you want data beyond WeWeb's own built-in tables — Supabase, Xano, Airtable or a REST API
The Essential plan ($20/month) to export the code and self-host it

Minutes to a free account and a first page in the editor; weeks, not months, to a working app wired to a real backend, per WeWeb's own materials.

Your first run The WeWeb 101 guides walk you through adding your first element to a page inside the free editor within minutes; per the vendor's own framing, a working prototype wired to a real backend is realistically weeks away, not a same-day result.

Where it breaks

The Pro tier's headline price displayed as a rendering error ('$NaN/month') on WeWeb's own live pricing page rather than a real number — this looks like a page bug rather than a genuinely unpublished price, but it means the actual Pro seat cost could not be confirmed here.

Separate from the editor seat price, WeWeb also sells its own cloud hosting on a tiered ladder — Free, Launch+ ($13/month), Grow+ ($20/month), Scale+ ($66/month) and Enterprise ($208/month) — since an exported app still needs somewhere to run.

First entry in this reference. There is no previous check to compare it against.

When not to use it

Not for anyone who wants one tool to own the whole stack — pair it with a backend decision you still have to make yourself, unlike an all-in-one builder such as Bubble. Not for a public site that needs to rank in search without extra work, since WeWeb ships client-rendered single-page apps and its own 2026 roadmap post confirms server-side rendering isn't being built this year — WeWeb frames it as a long-term possibility, and third-party workarounds like Prerender.io exist for now. And not for someone who wants a working app this afternoon — the realistic timeline the vendor itself describes is weeks.

WeWeb is built for a specific split in the no-code world: it is the front end only, deliberately paired with a backend you choose yourself — Supabase, Xano, Postgres, or a plain REST API. That is a different bet from an all-in-one builder like Bubble, which owns both ends of the stack. If you already have or want a real backend and just need a visual way to build the interface on top of it, WeWeb fits that gap; if you want one tool to own everything, it will feel like an extra piece to manage.

The other differentiator is that WeWeb apps export to real code — HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can self-host — rather than staying locked inside a proprietary runtime. The Essential tier specifically sells that export-and-self-host capability, which matters if “what happens if I ever want to leave” is part of your evaluation.

A pricing page worth double-checking

Free and Essential prices are clean and confirmed. The Pro tier’s own pricing page returned a broken number rather than a real figure at the time of this check, which looks like a temporary bug rather than deliberately hidden pricing — worth reloading the live page before you commit, since the number should be there.

Add AI token packages and separate cloud-hosting tiers into your budget: WeWeb’s editor seat and where the finished app runs are billed independently.
