WeWeb

This WeWeb review covers what WeWeb is used for, its key features, WeWeb pricing and plans, code export and self-hosting, how it compares with Bubble, and where it falls short. WeWeb started as a front-end builder: you design the interface in a visual editor and connect it to a backend such as Supabase or Xano. Today WeWeb describes itself as a full-stack platform, because it also has a native backend and AI that can generate interfaces and backend logic from a prompt (WeWeb vs Bubble). What sets it apart from most no-code platforms and app builders is ownership: WeWeb lets you export code and self-host the app on paid plans, which gives more control over production apps than an all-in-one platform.

What is WeWeb used for?

Teams use WeWeb to build web apps that need a custom interface and real data: SaaS products, client portals and customer portals, internal tools, dashboards, marketplaces and admin panels. It also works for rapid prototyping, because WeWeb AI can draft a first version from a prompt. It is less suited to content sites and marketing pages, where a website builder is a better fit.

WeWeb is popular with agencies and technical founders who want design control and backend flexibility. You can keep your existing backend, connect multiple data sources in one app and swap providers later without rebuilding the front end. That separation is also why companies with strict data privacy regulations look at WeWeb: when you self-host, WeWeb says your dynamic data never touches its servers.

Key features

• Visual editor: a drag-and-drop canvas with flexbox layouts, breakpoints and reusable components, built for pixel-perfect designs rather than templates.
• Figma import: bring designs from Figma into WeWeb with structure, styles and responsive layout details preserved.
• Data sources: connect Supabase, Xano, Airtable and any REST or GraphQL API, as well as SOAP APIs. WeWeb also offers its own native backend with tables, auth and editable backend logic.
• Workflows: visual logic for clicks, forms, page loads and API calls, including complex workflows with conditions, loops and error handling.
• Custom code: write JavaScript formulas, or create custom coded components in Vue.js and use them inside the editor. The AI component builder can generate these components from a description.
• WeWeb AI: generate responsive interfaces from a text prompt or a screenshot, and build backend logic as editable edge functions. AI usage is metered in AI tokens.
• Code export and self-hosting: export the app as a Vue.js single-page application and host it on Vercel, Netlify, AWS or your own servers.
• Team collaboration: shared workspaces, roles and GitHub sync on paid plans.

WeWeb pricing

In February 2025 WeWeb replaced its old workspace plans and project plans with seat plans, and one seat lets you build unlimited projects (WeWeb changelog); existing users migrate from the WeWeb dashboard. The WeWeb pricing plans now have two parts: seat plans for the people who build, and hosting plans for the apps you publish on WeWeb Cloud. The figures below come from WeWeb's pricing page, which carries an April 2026 update, and are monthly prices. Annual billing saves up to 20%.

Seat plans:

• Free plan: $0. Visual editor, API integrations and 1 million AI tokens. No code export or self-hosting, and published apps are limited to 1,000 sessions.
• Essential: $20 a month for one seat. 10 million AI tokens, code export, GitHub sync and self-hosting.
• Pro: per developer, with team collaboration and unlimited MCP server access. AI token packs range from 25 million tokens for $50 to 150 million for $300 a month. The pricing page showed no base seat price when we checked; Jet Admin lists Pro at $42 per seat.

WeWeb Cloud hosting plans:

• Free: 1,000 sessions, 1 GB bandwidth, 500 MB storage.
• Launch+: $13 a month, unlimited sessions, custom domains, 10 GB bandwidth.
• Grow+: $20 a month, 50 GB bandwidth, 1 GB database storage.
• Scale+: $66 a month, 200 GB bandwidth, 10 GB database.
• Scale+ Pro: $208 a month with dedicated compute.

Regional pricing in local currency is available in eight countries, including Brazil, India, Mexico and South Africa. The pricing model is not usage-based pricing for the app itself: AI tokens are the metered part. The cost surprise to check is that a seat plan does not include hosting: a team pays per builder seat and per published app on WeWeb Cloud, and heavy AI use means buying larger token packs. Self-hosting removes the hosting plan, but you then pay your own cloud provider and handle updates yourself. There are no Bubble-style workload units, so an app's cost does not grow with every database query.

Code export, full ownership and vendor lock-in

Code export is the main reason teams choose WeWeb over an all-in-one platform. On the Essential plan and above you can export the front end as a Vue.js application, keep it in GitHub and self-host it anywhere, which reduces vendor lock-in and gives you full ownership of the front end. Self-hosting needs at least an Essential seat but no separate hosting plan.

Two limits are worth knowing. The export is the front end: logic that lives in WeWeb's native backend, or in Supabase or Xano, stays where it runs. And exported code is generated code, so most teams keep editing in WeWeb and re-export, rather than treating the export as a hand-maintained codebase. Some competitor comparisons describe WeWeb components as React components; WeWeb's own documentation says custom components are written in Vue.js.

WeWeb vs Bubble: frontend control or one platform

Bubble is an all-in-one platform: interface, database, logic and hosting live together, and Bubble apps run on Bubble's servers. WeWeb is modular: you choose the backend, and you can export code and self-host. In practice:

• Choose WeWeb for more control over design and the frontend, an existing backend, strict data privacy requirements, or when you want to own the code.
• Choose Bubble when you want one platform that handles everything, a larger community and faster first versions for non-technical builders.

WeWeb has a steeper learning curve for beginners, because you need to understand how a frontend talks to a backend and APIs. Some coding experience helps, although the AI features lower the bar. Bubble is generally easier to start with; WeWeb gives more control and long-term control as the app grows, up to complete control when you self-host. With its native backend, WeWeb now covers full stack app development too.

Where WeWeb shines — and where it falls short

Strengths:

• Design control and pixel-perfect interfaces without writing code.
• Backend flexibility: native backend, Supabase, Xano or any external API.
• Code export and self-hosting on paid plans, so less vendor lock-in.
• Custom Vue.js components and AI generation for what the editor cannot do.

Trade-offs:

• A steeper learning curve than all-in-one no-code platforms.
• Two bills to plan: seat plans and hosting plans, plus AI tokens.
• No native mobile apps; WeWeb builds web apps and progressive web apps.
• A smaller community and fewer templates than Bubble or Webflow.

How WeWeb compares

• Bubble: all-in-one no-code platform with database, logic and hosting, but no code export.
• FlutterFlow: visual builder for native mobile apps with Flutter code export.
• Webflow: visual website builder for marketing and content sites.
• Retool and Appsmith: internal tools on top of databases and APIs.
• Softr: quick client portals on top of Airtable, Google Sheets or databases.
• Supabase: the open-source Postgres backend many WeWeb apps connect to.

Is WeWeb worth it?

WeWeb is worth it for teams that want a custom web app with full control over design, data and hosting: SaaS products, client portals and internal tools on an existing backend. The free plan is enough to learn the editor, and the Essential plan unlocks code export and self-hosting at a modest price. It is less of a fit for beginners who want one platform to do everything, or for teams that need native mobile apps. If you want help to build a WeWeb app, connect it to your backend or migrate from Bubble, the WeWeb agencies on LowCodeDevs can take it on.
