Appreciate your input – you've brought up some valid points about the challenges of building on low/no code platforms.
Indeed, trust is a key factor. While it's true that concerns about price changes, platform stability, and data security are valid, it's also worth considering that we often rely on a multitude of applications and services to keep things running smoothly.
It's a balancing act between leveraging tools that can streamline processes and being mindful of the potential risks.
There is too much risk and lock in what if the platform raises prices, goes out of business, something happens where they lose your data/app.
How well will it scale? What will the costs be at scale?
I can't imagine trusting a platform holding all your cards like that.
There are too many reasons to build on open source and own your own destiny.
Granted sometimes a startup doesn't have a technical founder but there are still lots of decisions to be made and technical decisions for them to be successful.
I just can't see going all in on a no/low code platform of any kind.
