I think that App builder make it easy for anyone to create their own mobile app without coding. They are affordable, fast, and offer customizable templates.
”
You don’t need to be a skilled UX/UI designer or developer to create simple interactions by setting up states that are activated by events. Instead of needing to repeatedly redo an element, the screen part allows you to specify it once and reuse it across the project as needed. Everyone can quickly learn how to use this software because of its low learning curve.
”
It provides the drag-and-drop option to create awesome Ui for the application. It provides a prebuilt template and component with a customizable option to create the application fast and easily.
”
App Builder’s user interface is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and utilize the platform’s features. The drag-and-drop functionality simplifies the app development process.
”
Significantly improves designer-developer handoff by turning Figma designs into code in some of the most popular app development frameworks – Angular, React, and Blazor
”
At our company, we appreciated the same powerful WYSIWYG drag-and-drop interface and pixel-perfect code output (Angular, Blazor, React, Web Components) as the cloud version but fully behind our firewall. It comes with more than 65 UI components, starter templates, routing and Figma integration and instant previews all hosted securely on our infrastructure.
”
The App Builder AI and code generation features make this low-code tool stand out. The fact that I got live previews so quickly and the ability to generate clean, production ready code for popular frameworks is great. Then, in just a click, I could publish it straight to GitHub and save a ZIP file.
”
I’m not a developer, but I was able to create working dashboards and interactive apps without writing code. The drag-and-drop UI, sample apps, and built-in themes made it easy for me to get started.
”
I love how intuitive the WYSIWYG drag-and-drop interface is. Even if you’re not a developer, you can assemble UI screens quickly, build apps from scratch, and generate/preview production-ready code in Angular, React, Web Components, and Blazor. It’s a complete low-code IDE backed by a comprehensive toolbox with reusable UI controls.
”
This low-code tool has a short learning curve and anyone can build dashboards and configure interactive apps without writing a single line of code. Reusable components and the AI functionality save time across the project. I also liked the fact that I could start with a sample app, giving me the opportunity to inspect the code and learn best practices.
”
It has all the power of the cloud App Builder drag-and-drop app experience, Figma UI kit, instant code gen and preview, and UI components, but it runs entirely behind our firewall. That means enterprise-grade security without giving up the ease of use.
”
The reusable components are framework-agnostic, which means I can design once and use them across Angular, React, Blazor or Web Components. This makes our development stack more flexible, especially when projects have different requirements.

Harnessing the power of low code and AI is a strategic move that drives business growth and innovation at faster rates. And now with App Builder AI, businesses have an even greater advantage. App Builder AI combines the simplicity of low-code platforms with the intelligence of AI, enabling teams to build and deploy applications faster and more efficiently than ever before.
App Builder is the best and most comprehensive WaveMaker alternative that streamlines the entire app development cycle. Our low-code tool includes a robust library of 65+ reusable UI components, delivering the fastest grids and high-performance charts on the market. There are various customization options, code generation for Angular, React, Web Components, and Blazor, code preview capabilities, a complete design system (Indigo.Design), gen AI functionalities with App Builder AI, REST API integration for CRUD operations, the ability to convert Figma designs to code, and more.
App Builder provides flexible subscription plans with on-prem and embedded versions, a multi-year discount, and a 14-day free trial. On the other hand, WaveMaker does offer a free trial but the pricing is not transparent and readily available on the website.
App Builder has an easier learning curve than WaveMaker. It comes with a drag-and-drop UI and a complete WYSIWYG app-building experience. To help users start using the tool and provide a walkthrough, there are various step-by-step guides, detailed documentation, how-to videos, and other useful resources.
Both tools provide rapid application development. However, App Builder ensures flexibility, more low-code and AI functionalities, framework-agnostic components for more frameworks compared to WaveMaker, a WYSIWYG drag-and-drop interface, and more. It also allows users to develop an app by using a blank template, by starting with a feature-rich sample app that can be further customized, or by converting Figma files to code in a click without extensive manual coding. Which additionally saves time and efforts.
There are companies from different sectors that choose App Builder as a WaveMaker alternative because of its cost-effectiveness, features, online developer community and resources, code flexibility and licensing. These include Financial Services and Banking, Retail and eCommerce, Manufacturing and Logistics, Education and Learning, and more.
Using App Builder has no restrictions. Because App Builder offers no vendor lock-in and gives teams all the tools they need to create data-rich, high-performance web applications with grids, charts, and any other feature they choose, people can switch between platforms with ease.
You have the option to start using App Builder for free or choose from the pricing models that best fits your needs and budget. There is a 14-day free trial and after it expires, you can purchase the product to access all the capabilities. In case you need more time to evaluate the product, please contact the sales department. They can offer a small trial extension to help you decide.
