Sending mail from someone else's domain reputation
A no-code platform's built-in sender puts your password resets on a shared pool you do not control. Owning SPF, DKIM and the bounce data costs about $20 a month and an afternoon of DNS.
When the interface stops being an app
Airtable Interfaces read well and write badly. An interface-only viewer costs nothing; the moment that person needs to edit a record they become a billable collaborator at $20 to $45 per month.
The asset library has a ceiling
Webflow caps uploads at 4MB per image and 10MB per audio file with no plan qualifier. Cloudflare R2 charges $0.015 per GB-month and caps nothing. The gap matters once you own a video library.

Stack Overflow's 2025 survey sized the pool for React at 44.7% and Postgres at 55.6%. Webflow, Bubble and Xano are not on the list, and Xano's $85/month Essential plan caps you at 5 team seats.
