Xano

Xano is a no-code backend platform that provides a scalable database, custom REST APIs, and a visual business-logic builder — everything you need for an application backend without writing code or managing servers. Front-end and no-code tools (like Webflow, FlutterFlow, WeWeb, and Bubble) can connect to Xano for their data and logic, and developers use it to ship production backends fast. Because it handles the database, API layer, authentication, and server-side logic, Xano lets teams build serious, scalable applications and AI agents without a traditional backend engineering effort.

The platform combines a real database with visual API and logic building. You get a Postgres-backed database, a no-code function stack to build custom API endpoints and business logic visually, authentication and user management, and the ability to handle background tasks and integrations. Xano adds features like scalable infrastructure (with autoscaling options), a marketplace of pre-built functions, versioning, and increasingly AI-oriented capabilities for building backends for AI agents. Its value is giving no-code builders and lean teams a production-grade, extensible backend — not a toy — that scales as their app grows.

Xano serves no-code builders, startups, and teams that need a scalable backend without managing servers. It offers a Free plan ($0, unlimited APIs with rate limits and watermarked stored images), an Essential plan around $85/month (production-ready apps and agents), a Pro plan around $249/month (for scaling teams), and a custom plan for larger scale — with add-ons like CPU/autoscale boosts and a HIPAA BAA. A former $29 Starter tier was retired in January 2026. It competes with Supabase, Firebase, Backendless, and Directus, differentiating on a fully no-code, scalable backend for no-code front ends and AI apps.
