No-code Industry Growth
The no-code industry is growing extremely fast.
Dozens of no-code tools appear every month, venture funds invest millions of dollars into new players and the media keeps covering hot news about the no-code movement.
While working in the design & development space since 2015 and joining a fast-growth no-code startup, I saw the evolution of both spaces. When leading my startup, Flawless App, I witnessed how developers and design tooling took a strong place in the product teams workflow, both in small teams and large enterprises. Back then design tools like Figma raised $200 million and development tools like BuddyBuild was acquired by Apple. After closing my own M&A deal with Flawless and joining a $54M funded design startup (Abstract), I was still impressed how big the creative market was.
I’ve split my research into a few easy to digest sections, covering everything from the market size, funding landscape, no-code use cases. As well as some interesting insight from WeLoveNoCode, as our no-code developers already built more than 2000 no-code projects for clients and worked with 241 tools. Let’s dive in!

- Now, I’m leading marketing at WeLoveNoCode, a no-code developers marketplace, which is growing 30% MoM in MRR. And I have a strong feeling of dejavu. Like 6 years ago creative tooling was taking off the ground, now no-code is moving in the same trajectory. This is an industry you should definitely follow.

Market Growth
No-code/low-code platforms have been around for a while. Popular website builders, like Wix and Weebly, started in 2006, online-database databases Airtable and visual programming platform Bubble in 2012. So this industry was emerging even before “no-code” became a trendy term with rapid interest from the masses.

So this industry was emerging even before “no-code” became a trendy term with rapid interest from the masses.
However, assessing the size of a diverse market like no-code is difficult. The main reason is that its a new emerging space, where every estimation is more or less a smart guess. Also, different research firms use their own methods for measuring and assessing the dollar value of the no-code industry.
Some will look at the asset value of the companies involved, others will use the revenue projections of the businesses. In some cases it’s the amount spent on no-code by businesses that is used to calculate the market value.
Anyway, by looking at the various places reporting data, I can pull together estimates for the no-code industry growth. It’s surprisingly similar across the next few years. Among 4 different researches, the range of sizes for the low code & no-code in 2020-2021 runs from $12.8 Billion up to a maximum of $13.8 Billion, a fairly tight set of data. Take a look:

When I begin to analyze the data, the projections start to vary, but with some key patterns. Within 4 years, the low code and no-code market will more than triple in size to over $45 Billion and by 2027 the market could reach between $65 and $127 Billion. This sounds as an exciting tipping point to start working on this market:
No-code Funding landscape
An interesting look on the industry comes from the venture deals in the space. Crunchbase can provide us with some insightful information on the amount being raised by popular no-code platforms. Those rounds are pretty impressive showing the strong investors interest in the no-code space:
An interesting look on the industry comes from the venture deals in the space. Crunchbase can provide us with some insightful information on the amount being raised by popular no-code platforms. Those rounds are pretty impressive showing the strong investors interest in the no-code space:
- Airtable raised $270M in 2021.
- Coda is a document collaboration platform that brings data and teams together. In June 2021 they went through a series D round of funding, bringing their total funding to $240M.
- Webflow, a leader in no-code website development has recently announced a series B round of $140M, giving it a $2Bn valuation, with total funding of $214.9M.
- Bubble raised $100M. It is a no-code app building platform used to build software and applications like SaaS platforms and marketplaces. One of the best known names in the no-code industry, in June of 2021 they announced a series A funding round of $100M, having previously taken on just a $6.3M seed round in 2019.
- No-code platform Betty Blocks raises $33 Million (August 2021) to speed up application development by empowering business developers (citizen developers) within enterprises.
- Zapier is an integration platform and this year has made one of the first big consolidations of the no-code market by acquiring Makerpad, a website that teaches others how to build tools without code.
At the same time, there are a lot of small players who run no-code tools in a boostrapped manner. In a census, the no-code community reported the type of funding that their companies had received. An interesting highlight was that although there are some massive no-code businesses, right now the majority of the sector is bootstrapping, as the team at Bubble did for the first seven years:
The same census reported that the average company size has just 4 employees, supporting how many were from startups (30%).
- 76% reported the business to be bootstrapped with no funding
- 12% less than $5M
- 4% between $6M and $50M
- 8% with more than $50M
The same census reported that the average company size has just 4 employees, supporting how many were from startups (30%).

Can you build a business based purely on no-code?
As we see, no-code platforms are building successful businesses, but can real companies be built using these tools? To show how they can, let’s look at some examples: WeLoveNoCode, Comet, Plato, Lambda School and Qoins.
WeLoveNoCode
...
...
Comet
A marketplace for data and tech freelancers to connect with potential clients who need engineers for their projects. It was built with Bubble. In less than 3 years they have helped more than 1,000 clients and have 1,500 freelancers on their books. Comet’s turnover is now at $800k a month and in 2018 they raised $12.8M.

Plato
Engineers and mentors of the world's biggest companies meet on Plato. They match applicants with mentors who are experienced in their fields. Plato actually raised its funding by building an MVP on Bubble and its back office is built on it now. They have already raised $13 million funding from Y Combinator. In 2020 alone they hosted over 20,000 mentorship sessions.

Lambda School
Lambda School is an online coding course provider that claims to be close to a fully fledged university program. The true uniqueness is how people pay for the course because you don’t pay a tuition fee upfront. In fact, people only get charged when they get a new job and pay a percentage of their salary until the fees are paid.
They created the platform with a combination of different tools like Typeform, Airtable, and Retool. They currently have over 150 employees, have raised over $70M and are believed to be worth over $150M.

Qoins
Qoins is an app-based financial platform that helps people pay off their debt more easily and efficiently through automated, personalized ways, including features like payroll deductions. You might buy an ice cream that’s $1.75 but the app takes $2.00 and uses the $0.25 towards paying your debts. Over $12M of debt has been repaid through the app. They built their app on Bubble and continued to use it as they grew and have raised $750M.

Practical Benefits of no-code
No-code is the art of creating solutions (native apps, websites, web apps, integrations), which is made using visual methods (without coding). no-code is a new way of building products, very different products. It's not magic but it has very practical benefits for business owners, startup founders, product managers, designers, developers and SMBs. Let’s talk about some of the practical benefits of no-code.
Most no-code tools use a visual drag-and-drop interface. In addition, a lot of them have pre-built templates that you can customize.
Bringing MVP to market faster
No-code development tools are simple to use, fast, cheap, and effective in building MVPs for startups and makers. This is a massive advantage as you can build an MVP to test the viability of your idea quicker, get feedback from customers and iterate without a huge upfront cost. The main goal of the minimum viable product is to deliver the core value to the right users and see their reactions. I won’t focus on the MVP creation here but you can get a nice overview of the steps needed to create MVP in this guide.
If the response to your MVP is positive, you can go ahead and make a more complicated and sophisticated product. If the response is negative, you can define key problems and pivot.
Examples of MVPs built with no-code stack could be:
The MVP approach helps to reduce the risk of product failure, costs of development and time to market. Combined with the MVP no-code tech stack it’s become the founders’ superpower in defining whether the product is needed by users at all. Also, no-code made life of product managers much easier because it significantly decreased the resources needed to push the first product version to users (now PMs can build MVPs themselves or with a team of one no-code developer).

Examples of MVPs built with no-code stack could be:
- Minimum version of a consultation service: form collecting leads with scheduling appointment widgets. Take a look at Jotform widget, which you can set up together with a form in less than 30 minutes. If you want to start your PR agency, marketing consultation or branding team, you can start generating sales calls with a simple form right from your network.
- Minimum version of SaaS product on the pre launch stage: could be audience building MVP. You create a landing page with Tilda or Webflow and add Mailchimp integration to collect email addresses. With Betalist launch or sharing your landing over target communities, you can get the first signs of user interest. For more marketing tactics on getting first users for your startup you check my ebook here.
- Email Campaign MVP, which can be done by creating simple email in SendInBlue, integrating it with Hubspot. This type of testing is the best for checking value proposing for new products among the cuccent user base and requires minimum setup. While it doesn’t sound as fun as building the functional MVP, it answers the main question of user interest based on the metrics of open rate, click rate and replies.
- Pre-order MVP can be done with a single Gumroad page. This is a perfect solution for makers working in the creator economy. If your MVP is a book, learning courses, design project, then setting up a description and payment page over Gumroad is something you can do in under one day. Gumroad allows you to get payments for pre-order making the life of founders much easier. And it’s all done without any code.
- Single-feature MVP: if you have an idea of a marketplace, you can build it with tools like Softr and launch it on Product Hunt. As the first “service providers” for your marketplace you can use your own team or hired experts, so “buyers” will be able to solve their problems (and you test your business idea). Don’t forget to add only must have capabilities even in a single-feature MVP (MoSCoW Matrix can help here).

Faster Development of the Core Product
The number one reason the community loves no-code is the speed at which no-code can produce results. According to Forrester, development using low code and no-code platforms is 10 times faster than traditional methods. Speeding up your development brings so many advantages from getting more revenue from released products to needing fewer developers to achieve your roadmap.
Why is no-code development faster? Most no-code tools have an intuitive drag-drop interface, visual modeling, reusable pre-built components, out-of-the-box & ready-made features and simple integration with all kinds of web services. On top of that no-code tools propose created blocks, templates, widgets for typical business cases. All these makes product development faster, especially for well-known product types (apps, landing pages, marketplaces).
A study by GoodFirms Research showed over 60% of software development takes 4-6 months to complete using traditional custom development. While most no-code projects are completed in less than half of that time, for MVP creation the average time is 4-5 weeks (based on WeLoveNoCode data).

Cost Saving
Another advantage is the cost savings, which comes from having fewer developers. The general cost of no-code developers is lower and they can cover design and development at the same time. According to Forrester, the average company avoided hiring two traditional developers using low code tools.
According to another research, 41% of respondents believe that no-code tools are 6 times more affordable than using traditional development methods. From WeLoveNoCode data, average development cost is $4000 per project, delivered in one month which is 10x time cheaper than working with a US development agency. So if your main criteria for a project is cost, no-code is definitely an option to consider. It brings saved development time, lower day rates and utilising existing staff who can work with no-code tools.
Also, no-code platforms are great for the Do It Yourself approach, when even not-tech savvy founders can create their products. Almost every no-code tool provides some type of learning materials and guides, which decreases the learning curve.

Support from the community
The no-code industry is very community driven. That proves active forums, where community members help each other (take a look on the Bubble forum), dozens of no-code templates () and excellent learning materials created by Makerpad members. All these makes no-code space welcoming for new comers, simple to find needed technical support for those who are building with no-code and fast-to-start for those who can use templates.
I think it's a huge benefit of the no-code space because it makes the industry open and self-driven in terms of its development.

Filling a Skills Gap
According to a survey by Appypie, the key reasons for choosing no-code are reducing IT backlog (55%) and dependency on hard-to-hire skills (38%).
As the data above shows, another benefit of no-code is filling the skills gap. Developers have become like unicorns in the last few years. Sometimes the skills needed for traditional development projects are hard to find and no-code platforms help get around that issue. Evidence from Mendix shows 70% of low-code users who had no tech experience at all learned low code in 1 month or less. This creates a huge workforce to fulfill the need for product development. With the growing supply of no-code developers, the hiring process becomes easier and product companies are getting an alternative option to hiring $9K/month traditional developers. WeLoveNoCode has a pool of 10 000 skilled no-code developers, who can cover various development tasks for thousands of businesses.

Time saved for your developer
It’s fair to say that developers like spending most of their time solving problems, not doing repetitive tasks. While some of the tech projects might be exactly like that (especially for the marketing department). With no-code tools and platforms, so much of this can be automated, taking these tasks away from the developer. Less repetitive tasks improve developers productivity and make your engineering team happier. In the nearest future no-code skills will become an additional tool set for traditional developers, who anyway can benefit from no-code right now.

No-code tools promote experimentation
No-code helps deliver products faster, which leaves more time to iterate and experiment by tring different ideas. When you can develop and roll out a new feature in a matter of days or weeks, not months, it is possible to spend more time testing. And the price of failure is significantly decreased, making it mentaly easier to fail and try over.
You can go a step further and extend your no-code product’s functionality with custom code, 3rd party app APIs, external databases.

No-code gives marketing teams more freedom
The marketing team drives users and revenue growth in every company. This team works under the constants pressure to deliver more, faster. To do that marketing should be supported by other coworkers — designers and developers, as well as have a strong MarTech stack in place. The tech and design teams are the ones, who have the capability to build websites, apps, analyze big data, create automations, set up marketing attribution, install analytic tools. All of which are extremely important for a marketer.
Now, imagine some of this power shifting into the hands of the marketer without the need to write a single line of code or ask the tech team for support (or learn it on your own). That is exactly what “no-code” tools are doing to empower a marketing function. With no-code tools marketing teams can build growth projects faster, create powerful integration to drive leads and boost growth hacking to the new level.
User research is the first and the most important step in product development. This is the stage where entrepreneurs ask questions, identify problems, and spark ideas for solutions. There are no-code tools that can help you create design processes for idea generation. We will cover a few of them: Miro and Mural.
Example no-code Cases
Bloomberg has reported a number of success stories highlighting how no-code has helped deliver lots of quick development and make quick returns on investment.
