WeWeb no-code apps and custom React cost similar upfront, around $100,000, but maintenance is where costs diverge. A WeWeb app might need $2,000 monthly, while React requires full-time developers costing tens of thousands per month. Maintenance, not building, is the real expense.
The difference of once you have this built for, let's say, $50,000, $100,000— there are WeWeb agencies charging people $100,000 to build a WeWeb app, surprisingly. It's not like, are you paying $100,000 to set up a WeWeb app compared to $100,000 to set up a React app? Even though most React apps are now Vite-coded, you know, so I think actually there's more effort and thoughts being put into the WeWeb app or Norecraft. Um, but it's like, okay, paying $100,000 for both, it's fine, but The difference is, are you paying $2,000 a month for maintenance moving forward, or are you paying $20,000 for 2 people doing maintenance full-time? So it's the recurring cost that you, you know, like building software is cheap, maintaining software is expensive.
