No-code is the future.
If we were to rewind 10 years from now, many applications and web designs would depend on professional developers who had to work day and night to make the code work.
The technical skills required to get custom apps or any other software up and running were not a joke, and the manual processes of writing lines of code weren't either.
Fast-forward to today, the developer's job is to code a tool to help us develop - with no code.
It is the best time to jump on to no-code train now.
No-code is the future. If you become an expert now,
you will be one of the most in-demand people
in the future.
Arun Saigal, Cofounder and CEO Thunkable
You may not realize it, but you’ve probably used a wide range of no-code or low-code platforms already.
The chances are even higher if you are a creator on the web. And if you think you haven’t used them, you definitely came across one.
Even something as challenging as creating a website or building an app can be possible thanks to no-code tools.
Before providing you with a list of tools that are no-code, you might want to know what exactly no-code tools are.
What is no-code?
No-code or a no-code tool, to be more practical, is a method and a movement of programming that does not necessarily involve writing code for the users but instead works with GUI (Graphic User Interface) tools. This is so to say that no-code tools don’t depend on their users’ knowledge and ability to use code; instead, it makes use of way simpler methods to increase efficiency.
However, if we were to look into it, we must make something clear.
“No-code” doesn’t really mean no-code.
In fact, there is coding, and that is the coding the people who developed the tool did. However, for an easier and cheaper experience for the user of the tool (meaning most businesses today) and more scalable business processes, all you need to do is click, scroll, and/or drag and drop.
Mr. Robot doesn’t seem so cool now, does he?
What can I do with a no-code tool?
Today, there is almost no limitation to what you can create with a no-code tool as a non-technical user. And that's one of the reasons why no-code tools are SO POPULAR.
In fact, you can count a lot of things you already did without knowing it was no code. From creating a website to building custom mobile apps, there are so many possibilities. You can automate your work or home tasks with no code automation tools, you can organize your data, or you can get paid via no code.
Remember that one time you created a survey online? That was no-code too.
To code, or not to code. That is not the question anymore.
No-code is not focused on one specific industry or area of work; there are many kinds of tools. However, it doesn’t change the fact that all no-code tools have a purpose – be it in one industry or another.
Let’s look at the types of common no-code tools and no-code solutions that you can benefit from as a citizen developer.
No-Code Tool Types
Believe me when I say that there are as many types of no-code tools as there are no-code tools.
Since most of these tools are equipped with different kinds of features, it is very hard to say one specific tool is one type of tool unless the software developers declare that it is.
However, there are some prominent types that are big requirements for SaaS businesses, so instead of going down to the philosophy of no-code development and tech, let’s talk about them:
- App/Website Building
- Onboarding/Interactive Guides
- Project Management
- Customer Service
- Automation
- Voice
- Analytics
- Marketing
App/Website Building
Building a website, let alone a complex application is one big task.
But we seem to have forgotten this, thanks to no-code tools with powerful features for website/app building. While no-code tools like Bubble, Webflow, and Carrd are among the forerunners of no-code web app builders, there is a wide variety of options for smaller or enterprise-level companies.
Of course, with these tools, you are unlikely to be able to build an app like clubhouse, but it will definitely be possible in the future.
Onboarding/Interactive Guides
You have built a website alright, but you cannot be the only one who knows how to navigate through it.
No-code tools for interactive guides come into the picture right here. These guides are designed to work for all industries since you are the one creating the content of it.
While there are no code tools, there are also low code tools for onboarding solutions, but in my humble opinion, it is best to entrust your very own no-code product to a trusted no-code solution (I've just the one for you)
Project Management
No-code tools for project managers are no trivial matter either.
Now, I don’t want to reveal just how young I am, but the Excel files and notebook checklists were nowhere to be found when I stepped into business. I even have a hard time with Google Sheets still.
This could be because I am in the SaaS industry or because those aren’t really a thing anymore. And we have no other than no-code project management tools to blame for that.
Think of a world where you can’t just open Notion or Airtable; add a topic there for all your teammates to see and know that the task is gonna get done.
Or just think of 20 years ago, I guess 🤯
It just doesn’t feel right.
But we don’t really have to think about such a scenario since no-code project management is only getting better every day.
Customer Service
All good SaaS companies have at least one thing in common: good customer service.
That is precisely why it is important that you get your customer service up to the top-notch. And when you are aiming for perfection, the fastest and the most effective solution is no code.
Tools like Zendesk and Intercom got your back.
Automation
Without automation, so many businesses would be doomed to go bankrupt.
Everybody wants everything right, fast, and on time now, and it is no human task to make that wish come true.
So, it goes without saying that we need no-code automation. And no-code automation specifically, because automation and the rest of the tasks in all businesses have become so intertwined that everyone needs to make automation for their own needs now.
So yes, no code automation tools like Juphy, Zapier, and Automate.io are here to stay.
Voice
In the last couple of years, or maybe even the last decade, voice tech slowly but surely became a big part of our lives.
And now, people look for voice integrations left and right.
If you are like me, you also talk to Siri or Alexa a lot. They make it all easier, and it is always fun to find out what you can and can’t do with just a voice command.
No-code voice tools are made by people who understand that and look for better ways to let us use our voice with no code. Voiceflow and Otter.ai are among those tools that help you get your customers accustomed to the luxury of voice tech.
Analytics
Now, if you think automation cannot be entrusted to a human being, get ready for this one ’cause I assure you: you should let the computers do the math.
Of course, analytics goes further than calculation and reporting; and no-code analytics tools like Obviously.ai and Mixpanel prove that. They make the whole process so much easier with visuals and drag-and-drop features that I’d even say they make analytics fun.
Math was my worst subject at school too, mind you.
With no-code software like Google Analytics and its suite of tools, you might not even need a premium plan to handle your analytics-related business processes.
Marketing
Marketing is an inseparable part of any business.
And so, there is an abundance of no-code tools dedicated to various types of marketing, like email marketing, social media marketing, and conversational marketing. But let’s remember why exactly no-code marketing tools matter so greatly.
Marketing is a fast-paced, critical business.
It is easy enough to deduce that there is no room for the intricacies of coding. Thus, no-code tools like HubSpot Marketing Hub and MailChimp have the spotlight on ’em.
Now that you know the types of no-code tools, we can head over to talk about the tools themselves.
But before we start the no-code/low-code product hunt, we’ve attended TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin 2019 and compiled a list of the best low/no-code startups from the event; I recommend you take a look 😎
And now, let’s take a look at my favorite no-code examples from our no-code growth marketing report.

Details, details, and details.
Most website builders will let you customize to a certain extent, but with Webflow, it feels as easy as dragging and clicking and as in control as writing custom code.
Furthermore, it is very customizable. You can choose to start from scratch and build a fully responsive website just the way you like, or you can use a template if you want to go the quicker way.
Webflow is easily among the best no-code tools in the no-code web app builder category.

With that being said, let me present you with a different trait of the no-code software I'm about to mention: It's an open-source no-code tool.
WordPress is an open-source no-code tool that you can use to build a website by doing nothing OR many; that depends on you as your in-house developers can customize it however they see fit via coding or leave it as it is to further use. As it has an intuitive user interface, WordPress is easy to use and has several use cases, from creating a blog to building your brand.

Onboarding /Interactive Guides

It has a lot of core features but today, we're focusing on its onboarding because we all know that onboarding isn't a process to enhance the customer experience only; it's just as important for your new hires to learn their way around.
In terms of onboarding, this digital product enables you to onboard your employees globally by providing you with a system that divides your items into specific sections so that you can fill them out and virtually hold your new hires' hands to take them through each item. These sections can vary according to what you see fit for onboarding; for example, they can be related to HR, such as agreements, required pieces of training, and policies.
Rippling Pricing
Rippling starts at $8 a month per user, but it doesn't reveal its pricing system; you can get a custom quote by talking to its sales team.

Trust me when I say that personalization is the key to engaging companies, no matter how big or small.
Moreover, you can always track the features your customers engage the most, thanks to the advanced analytics Walnut provides you with; thus, you'll be able to understand which features are the star of the show and which ones are not helping users as much as you hoped.

20- Memberstack
During using onboarding, we have one primary goal in mind: making sure the user comes back.
And you can’t really succeed if you can’t get your user to sign in on your website/app.
Now, getting a login/sign-in function or even a payment section isn’t really the easiest part of coding if you are entrusting it to an in-house developer.
That’s why I recommend you use a no-code tool like Memberstack.
Although it is a fairly new tool, it has gained quite some popularity. From secure login to gated content as well as integrations with Zapier and Integromat and a perfect match with Webflow, Memberstack has a lot to offer.

Voice Tech
37- Voiceflow
After Siri’s debut as a voice assistant in 2011, we’ve come a long way.
With Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Google Assistant taking their place right next to Siri as the most prominent voice assistants, it was high time voice tech became a no-code tool.
Now be honest, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to customize your voice assistant more?
Voiceflow does exactly that.
With Voiceflow you can prototype on the browser or try it on the actual voice device, thanks to the feature that lets you upload with one click. Voiceflow can be used for Alexa or Google Assistant. And even when you are working with a team, there’s a space in the tool just for that purpose.

With features like live transcription, automatic meeting note summaries, easy recording options, and a ton of integrations, Otter.ai offers an interactive experience we didn’t really consider happening.
But it did happen, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Well, to be exact, most of us had the first impression already as Otter started working with Google Meet and Zoom for live transcription. And let’s not forget that Dropbox, IBM, and Verizon Connect also use Otter.ai.

What I really like about Mixpanel is how customizable its reports are. Many users report ease of use, but the ease of use means nothing when there is not much to work with from the beginning. So, what Mixpanel does is that it brings together ease of use and both customizable and essential features together.

Google Analytics is a small business’ best friend because it has very advanced features and an intuitive user interface, and it gets you the data only Google can get you. Literally.
But it’s not only small businesses who enjoy cool features like reporting, data analysis, and visualization, as the Google Analytics 360 opens up even more advanced features. What’s more, you are using a Google product, so it automatically integrates with every other Google app seamlessly.
Google Analytics Pricing
Google Analytics as a base software is a freemium tool; you get to access advanced features for free. But if you need more, there is Google Analytics 360. There is no fixed price for this upgraded version and you get to talk to the sales according to your specific needs.
