The Lowdown on
Betty Blocks
Let the business rapidly build enterprise apps, governed by IT. Cloud-based Betty Blocks is easy to use, rich in features, and fit for an agile way of working.
Easy to use
With the Betty Blocks platform, you easily build state of the art enterprise apps. Just login to your browser and start building within minutes. Use the Page Builder to drag-and-drop your wireframe and design, integrate with any external data source, visualize your data with the data modeler, and automate your workflow with actions.
Shortest time-to-market
By building apps with predefined building blocks, and only using code to extend the platform when needed, development time decreases significantly – implementing changes four to eight times faster than usual is not uncommon. When changes in an app are needed, it is literally as easy as logging in and implementing them in a no-code way. What used to be put on IT’s backlog and might take weeks to be processed, can now be done by citizen developers in just a few clicks.
Cost-effective development and maintenance
Development and maintenance are scalable and predictable. Apps deliver proven value fast. With 100% cloud-based Betty Blocks you don’t need to install anything. Updates are managed by us automatically, meaning you always run the latest and safest version, without any effort from your side.
Use Betty Blocks to:
Automate
Automate your workflow and case management, order management flows, compliance and quality management, and other manual processes, and drastically save time in your day-to-day work.
Build portals
Build portals such as supply chain portals, community or employee portals, and customer engagement portals. With one app you can serve different user roles with views catered towards their needs. For example, you can build a supply chain portal with a view for the supplier, the store manager, and the customer, all from one single application.
Revive outdated IT systems
With Betty Blocks, you can create a modern layer around existing IT systems and add missing functionality. This way, you don’t have to rebuild or migrate expensive systems, but still reap the benefits of modern development systems.
Prototype
Rapidly build, test, validate, and launch new, proven business applications. Have your first version live within days and collect user feedback and requirements to build an application people will love.

How do I know which tool is right for me?
When considering a no-code tool, we always recommend taking 4 key factors into account:
Ease of use. How easy is it for a non-technical person with no coding skills to use this tool to make apps? Is there a big learning curve? Can someone who has a basic grasp of Microsoft Office also get a grasp of this tool? Or does it require a lot of up-front training? This is perhaps the most important factor to consider.
Flexibility. How much flexibility does this tool have in terms of what you can build? Can it handle complex decision-making behind the scenes and allow you to bring any app idea to life without any coding at all?
We award extra points here for tools which allow you to integrate with other tools for extra functionality, or let you add your own custom code. Consider whether or not all of your desired functionality is supported by a tool before you use it.
Design freedom. Does the tool give you full freedom to bring a design to life? Not all no-code tools have complete flexibility. Remember, this can be a double-edged sword. If you're not confident in your design abilities, you may wish to pick a tool with less design freedom, as often these tools will set beautiful defaults for you.
Glide is a great example of this. You can customise the branding colours and the order of components, but Glide ensures your design stays looking like a proper app appropriate for either the iOS or Android platform.
Cost-effectiveness. Simply, how affordable is this tool? Remember, this can get complex. Some tools will start with a trial while you build, but charge you to publish your app live. Other tools have specific limits, such as a certain number of records in your database or not being able to integrate other tools into your app without paying extra. As long as you can afford the lower tier plans and have a solid monetisation for your app, don't worry too much about scaling or long term costs as often you'll have income in future to supplement these.
Remember: A low score in any one category does not mean the tool is bad. For example, a tool with a high ease of use, but low flexibility and design freedom could simply indicate that this tool is incredible easy to use and perfect for a beginner. It could also mean the tool is focused on being the best tool on the market for a very specific type of app, like a portal or marketplace.
