Pega competitors lack essential functionality and advantages like extensive customization, code ownership, integration with other systems, etc. App Builder fills these critical gaps with 65+ UI reusable components, full code generation and export, no proprietary functionality, AI-driven views creation, and beyond – everything you need for the most complex, mission-critical apps.
Leverage an intuitive WYSIWYG, drag-and-drop UI – start an app from scratch, use a sample, or convert Figma designs to code.
Quickly build apps with framework-agnostic controls – fast grids, charts, input fields, buttons, plus many others.
Unlike Pega, there’s no steep learning curve. We provide how-to guides, tutorials, extensive documentation, and other useful resources.
Forget the spaghetti code. Instantly generate clean, editable code for Angular, React, Web Components, and Blazor.
With a live preview option for your app so you can inspect the code and validate UI behaviors with ease.
Export your code, host it anywhere, or add custom logic – you are not locked into a proprietary infrastructure.
Including GenAI features such as generating images, data sources, and views based on plain language prompts to augment development.
Out-of-the-box functionalities for enterprise-level apps – Form Builder, Remote Data Operations, Query Builder, and Reveal Dashboard.
Integrating a complete design system – Indigo.Design – that bridges the designer-developer gap and reduces silos.
Achieving faster time to market by minimizing manual coding. Apps that take months to build can be developed and deployed within days or weeks.
Democratizing code and eliminating legacy apps used by fusion teams, software engineers, and stakeholders.
Mitigate risk through compliance with regulations, app requirements, best practices, and policies.
You can quickly add, edit, and use any data source (Rest API) you want.
No more relying on predefined datasets. Set up any data input and benefit from integration with different sources: databases, spreadsheets, and APIs.
App Builder works with external tools and services like GitHub and Reveal for embedded analytics.
We do not need to write much documentation anymore about how a certain function should work and behave, we just design it.

I think that App builder make it easy for anyone to create their own mobile app without coding. They are affordable, fast, and offer customizable templates.
”
You don’t need to be a skilled UX/UI designer or developer to create simple interactions by setting up states that are activated by events. Instead of needing to repeatedly redo an element, the screen part allows you to specify it once and reuse it across the project as needed. Everyone can quickly learn how to use this software because of its low learning curve.
”
The best software I have ever seen to build an app without coding. It’s saving the development time to build better apps.
”
It provides the drag-and-drop option to create awesome Ui for the application. It provides a prebuilt template and component with a customizable option to create the application fast and easily.
”
The amazing no-code solution allows developers to create apps quickly and easily without needing to write code. One of the key features of App Builder that I liked the most is that it has a wide range of pre-built templates and modules, which can be easily customized to meet the project’s specific needs.
”
App Builder’s user interface is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and utilize the platform’s features. The drag-and-drop functionality simplifies the app development process.

Harnessing the power of low code and AI is a strategic move that drives business growth and innovation at faster rates. And now with App Builder AI, businesses have an even greater advantage. App Builder AI combines the simplicity of low-code platforms with the intelligence of AI, enabling teams to build and deploy applications faster and more efficiently than ever before.
While Pega is geared towards case management and business process workflows, and provides model-driven development, App Builder works as a feature-rich low-code platform that streamlines app development cycles. Our tool introduces an easy-to-use WYSIWYG interface with 65+ drag-and-drop components that can be reused for building Angular, React, Web Components, and Blazor apps. There are also advantages like code generation, instant app preview, AI-driven functionalities, data binding, integration with third-party systems, and more.
App Builder is generally much easier to start using compared to Pega. The intuitive interface, drag-and-drop components that are framework-agnostic, and code generation ensure automation and simplified processes that don’t require extensive manual coding or specific know-how. Even though Pega is considered to have low-code nature, it has specific architecture, terminology, and rule-based logic that can be complex for new users.
Yes, you can build customer-facing apps with both platforms. However, when it comes to deep customization and code ownership, App Builder excels and becomes the best Pega alternative. In addition, Pega is widely used for internal process apps.
Both platforms are optimized for scalability but in different ways. Pega is great for integrating and scaling enterprise processes with role-based access and other features. Whereas App Builder ensures scalability in app development through the generated code that can be easily modified. There is also a toolbox of highly customizable, framework-agnostic UI controls and continuous updates to make sure that our low-code platform enhances development efficiency and scales as the business grows or when the market changes.
For non-technical users, it will be much faster and easier to use App Builder as it democratizes app development. Automating much of the development process, citizen developers can create simple UIs and workflows, letting more experienced developers and enterprise architects manage complex processes and app logic in the meantime.
Definitely App Builder. There is more direct control over front-end customization through the highly editable code after generation, flexible UI controls, intuitive design, and no vendor lock-in risks. When it comes to Pega, advanced or highly specific customizations may require experienced developers and are sometimes constrained by Pega’s framework.
Yes, there are AI-driven features delivered by App Builder. Users can easily generate views, images, and data sources using App Builder AI by simply describing and typing what they need.
