  • Small and mid-sized
  • Enterprise

WeWeb

Best for

Best for teams and agencies that want a visual front end on top of Supabase or Xano and the option to export the code and host it themselves.

Cataleo does not name a winner. Both statements come from the vendors themselves.

Full Comparison

Criterion Quickbase WeWeb
Starting price From $35 / user / month Team is $35 and Business $55 per user per month, priced annually. Neither figure includes the platform minimum, a base charge on top of the per-user price. All users in an account must be on the same plan. Enterprise is quoted by Quickbase. Free plan; paid seat and hosting plans are priced separately Pricing is split in two. A seat plan (Free, Essential, Pro, Partner) controls editor access, AI tokens, code export and MCP access; a hosting plan (Free, Launch, Grow, Scale) covers WeWeb-hosted deployments, with limits on bandwidth, storage and app sessions. A seat plan is required before a hosting plan can be added, and self-hosted apps have no session limit.
Free trial 30-day free trial with the Business plan features Free plan with the visual editor, WeWeb-hosted deployment with a session limit and a monthly AI token allowance
Output Custom operational applications with tables, forms, reports, dashboards, roles and workflow automation Vue.js single-page web apps, hosted by WeWeb or exported and self-hosted
API Yes, JSON REST APIs; the platform analytics API and solutions API are Enterprise only Not stated
Hosting Not stated WeWeb cloud on AWS, or self-hosted after code export
What it generates Custom operational applications: tables and forms for the data, more than 13 report types and personalised dashboards, roles and permissions, and pipelines for workflow automation. Pave, the AI builder, takes a description of how the work happens today and constructs the application, including data structures with linked records, user roles and permissions, automation and hosting Production web apps such as SaaS products, customer portals, internal tools, directories and MVPs, built visually or generated from a description by the WeWeb AI assistant
Stack and frameworks There is no framework or language to choose. An application is assembled in Quickbase's own builder and runs on Quickbase's platform, and it is widened rather than swapped: more than 40 pre-built Pipelines integration channels connect it to other systems, and Quickbase Extensions, a paid package, adds document generation, e-signatures, SMS, email notifications and mapping to the same app Vue.js single-page applications, editable visually or extended with coded components
Auth and database Quickbase's own tables and linked records, with role-based permissions, encryption, audit logs and data classification. Single sign-on and SCIM provisioning arrive with the Business plan; restricting user creation to realm admins and managing token permissions is Enterprise Supabase, Xano, Airtable, Algolia, SmartSuite and any REST API, with internal databases connected without replication; auth through Supabase Auth, Xano Auth, Auth0, OpenID, custom tokens or WeWeb Auth
Hosting and deploy Hosted by Quickbase, with the application ready to use once built. On-premise connectivity and data warehouse integrations are Enterprise features WeWeb cloud hosting on AWS, or self-hosting anywhere after code export, with a documented Cloudflare route
Payments No payment collection or checkout of its own, and none is documented for the apps built on it: these are internal operational applications rather than customer-facing products. Money stays in the systems Quickbase connects to, through the financial software category among the 40+ pre-built Pipelines channels or through the JSON REST APIs Yes, a Stripe plugin among the documented extensions
Access to the code Code pages let a builder add custom HTML, CSS or JavaScript to an app and surface it through a button, a hyperlink, a formula URL field or an iframe; JSON REST APIs cover programmatic access Yes, full Vue.js code export and self-hosting from the Essential seat plan upwards
MCP-ready No stated Yes

Support Email helpdesk, Community forum Chat, Community forum

The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

Quickbase

Strengths

  • Pave builds a working app, data model and permissions included, from a description of the existing process
  • Governance is part of the platform: roles and permissions, encryption, audit logs and data classification
  • No-code connectors to Salesforce, Jira and ServiceNow, plus JSON REST APIs
  • Code pages allow custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript where the no-code builder stops
  • Quickbase states that customer data is not used to train the AI

Limitations

  • The published per-user price excludes a platform minimum that is not published, so the real cost needs a quote
  • AI capability beyond Pave, namely the AI agent, Data Analyzer and AI Actions, is a paid Intelligence Package add-on
  • Single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, a sandbox and FDA and HIPAA compliance require the Business plan
  • All users in an account must be on the same plan, so one requirement can lift the whole account a tier
  • Platform analytics and solutions APIs are restricted to Enterprise

WeWeb

Strengths

  • Exports the generated Vue.js source, so an app can be self-hosted and is not locked to the platform
  • Connects to Supabase, Xano, Airtable, Algolia, SmartSuite and any REST API, including internal databases without replication
  • Six documented authentication routes, from Supabase Auth and Auth0 to a custom token flow
  • Official MCP server, so outside agents such as Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT can build inside a project

Limitations

  • Seat plan and hosting plan are billed separately, so the cost of a project depends on both
  • Code export and self-hosting require at least the Essential seat plan
  • MCP access needs a Pro or Partner plan once the 14-day trial on a new workspace ends
  • The MCP server does not expose plugin actions, so an agent cannot build with the Xano or Supabase plugins
  • It builds the front end and expects a backend such as Supabase or Xano alongside it

Plans
