Our assessment in one line
The professional choice in this bracket, with one caveat that moved its score. WeWeb takes 4.4 on integrations because it treats a web application as something that has to be connected to real data, and WeWeb Cloud now ships a real managed backend of its own: a managed database, lambda compute, file storage and transactional email, which is why we have changed its category rather than calling it a pure front-end tool. SEO is the loss, at 3.1. The output is a Vue.js single-page application, and the vendor's own cheapest hosting tier is named "Static sites and SPAs", so unless the customer adds a rendering layer of their own, crawlers and LLM fetchers get an empty shell. Two commercial facts matter more than the sticker price. WeWeb does not charge per app user on any tier, and end users, APIs and workflows are unlimited everywhere, which is a decisive advantage over Softr and Retool as an audience grows. Against that, MCP is effectively a Pro feature at USD 50 a month per developer, with a 14-day trial on Free and no listing on Essential, and the Free tier cannot export code, so ownership, the platform's headline promise, is paywalled.
