There are three approaches to creating mobile applications:
Traditional. They involve writing code, creating a layout, optimization, command and other stages.
Zerocoding. Does not require knowledge of programming languages. It’s like using a Tilde (this is also, by the way, a zerocoder tool) to create websites: you don’t need to know CSS, HTML, JS — you just arrange blocks with content, set up animation and get a good site.
Low-code is something in between zerocoding and programming: you still have to write code, but not much.
Zerocoding tools can already cover most business tasks
And instead of reinventing the wheel, you can launch an MVP in a few days or test a hypothesis with minimal costs. And if you have at least a couple of weeks left, then you can file a full—fledged application. Zerocoding solutions can be assembled alone — the entire infrastructure is provided by platforms and there is no need to spend extra money on hosting, server administration, etc.
At the same time, the usual development will be delayed for 3-6 months and will eat up to a million rubles — if you work with a freelancer or a modest regional studio.
