{"@type": "Question", "name": "How much does it cost to create an app?", "acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer", "text": "No-code MVPs cost $0 to $2,000. Appy Pie starts at $16/month.

{"@type": "Question", "name": "Is no-code scalable?", "acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer", "text": "For most use cases, yes. VintPets scaled to 5,000+ community members. However, about 25 to 30% of no-code SaaS projects eventually need custom code for specific components."}},
