With Zoho Creator, you have to stick with a particular price plan and the features available in that plan. This means you might have to jump to a higher plan, even if you want only one or two extra features.
Read moreIn other words, you can’t customise your app to meet your business’s unique requirements unless you pay extra for a range of features you don’t want.
However, with Builder.ai, everything’s up to you. You can truly tailor your app to your unique use case, adding and subtracting what you need from a library of 500+ reusable features. Because of our pay-per-feature pricing model, you never pay for anything you don’t need.
What’s more, if your desired feature doesn’t exist in our library, we can create it for you from scratch. And as new business and user needs emerge, you can meet them simply by adding more features to your app.
Although Zoho Creator provides a drag-and-drop interface, it's very difficult to create custom apps unless you have technical knowledge. You might find using the platform a bit challenging, as it has a steep learning curve and you have to learn the intricacies of the platform.
Read moreWith Zoho Creator, you have to learn Deluge, Zoho’s scripting language, to design and customise your app.
Whereas with Builder.ai, there’s no learning curve. You don't have to waste time dragging and dropping features because our award-winning AI and dedicated project managers constantly support you in your app-building journey.
You simply share your app idea and we build it for you.
Zoho Creator offers a 15-day free trial for curious app builders, but users have to pay on a per-user basis once that’s over. Plus, the platform also uses vendor lock-in, meaning you rent rather than own your app’s code.
Read moreThis means that if you fail to pay the subscription fee, you won’t be able to use your app. Vendor lock-in also makes it difficult for you to migrate to another platform or build features you might need independently.
On the other hand, Builder.ai has a pay-per-feature pricing model that guarantees development costs ahead of the project start date. Also, there’s no vendor lock-in with Builder.ai. This means that once your payment plan is complete, you have complete control over the future development of your app, even if you want to migrate or build custom functionality without us.
