"Our startup's $2 million revenue runs on a $80/month NoCode stack."
When I shared this, I got many questions around the tools used.

A) Tools: @unicornplatform, @umsohq
B) Use cases
- You can simply drag & drop elements onto a page
- Build a marketing website in less than 60 mins
- Easily edit your marketing copy & communication to customers
C) Example
- We built our entire website of https://t.co/mdQsG3XKpg containing over 50+ pages on Unicorn platform
D) Alternatives
- @carrd
- @webflow (covered later)
A) Tool: @airtable
B) Use cases
- Advanced and more UI-friendly excel
- Easily collect data using an intuitive form
- Neatly present the data on your website in intuitive layouts
C) Example
- To help individuals laid off due to COVID, we built a page listing those who could be hired: https://t.co/QRmyRdLvWk
D) Alternatives
- Tools like Sheet2site, Table2site work well with Airtable to make quick websites
A) Tool: @webflow
B) Use cases
- Build beautiful custom layouts without Code
- Leverage its "CMS" to make numerous automated pages
- Use particularly if you are a designer and want to implement custom design to pixel perfection
C) Examples
- We built both Scale (https://t.co/WYOMSbhe0S) and Founder origin stories (https://t.co/Bccnk2ttJc) on Webflow
D) Alternatives
- Bubble (https://t.co/EBjaMRd1FQ): However, if focus is pixel perfect design, Webflow is much better.
A) Tools: @zapier, @integromat
B) Use cases
- Automate recurring manual effort
- Store data in CRM, send automated mails, integrate tools, etc.
- @zapier is more intuitive but costly, @integromat has a steeper learning curve but handles complex cases
C) Example
- Almost all our dynamic flows are handled by Zapier or Integromat. User signup -> storing their data in our db -> sending them a mail
D) Alternatives:
- Parabola (@parabolahq)
- Automate (@automate)
A) Tools: @MemberstackApp, @memberspace
B) Use cases
- To convert your static website to have signups/logins and to also manage SAAS memberships
- Restrict content or pages to only paid users
C) Example
- We built a dashboard for new projects viewing, sharing invoices, etc. using the above set of tools: https://t.co/GzLnfE0dSr
D) Alternative
- Bubble offers an in-built authentication system but doesn't manage subscriptions

a. Airtable is the primary database. Project details are added/edited by our team here.
b. A button in Airtable triggers Integromat which transfers all these details to Webflow.
c. A simple collection list is implemented in Webflow to showcase the projects. pic.twitter.com/SAg1JQ32G9
A) Tool: @bubble
B) Use cases
- Job-boards, marketplaces, internal tools => build varied applications using its "workflows" & database
- Quite self-sufficient and removes the need to depend on other tools
- Responsive design is a not the best
C) Example
- Our internal tool is entirely built on top of Bubble and saves ~160 human hours per month (has sensitive data, so can't share video)
D) Alternatives:
- Adalo, Glide: More suited for mobile apps (discussed next)
A) Tools: @glideapps, @AdaloHQ
B) Use cases
- Build complex mobile apps with a simple drag & drop functionality
- Automate user actions with in-built workflows
- Use their own DB or even GoogleSheets to store data
C) Example
- Not used these products myself, but a really cool example is of the apps made to help organise & share COVID resources with people: https://t.co/5mpFJSKvWv
D) Alternatives
- No credible alternatives that I know of
Also, I regularly write on startups, so, if you would like more such threads, consider retweeting the first tweet & following me :)
