We actually do offer Google Sign-In as an option across all plans that users can enable for their apps (I know this probably isn't clear on the website).

Alteryx in particular seems to focus more on analytics. You can build dashboards and charts with Noloco but our focus is more on CRUD operations - enabling you to give other team members access to data and control the permissions they have (read-only, update, create records) via permission rules at database level.

In general, we tend to see that existing enterprise-focused tools tend to be more low-code rather than no-code and often more aimed at developers rather than non-developers.

I see where you're coming from - we actually previously had cheaper plans but decided to remove them in favour of a Free plan which we introduced last month. We want people to use the platform, see the value they can get from it and then upgrade when they are ready (and content about the impact their apps are having in their organisation).

Haha first time someone made that connection! It's more around no-code / low-code, but we also like how it means 'not crazy' in Spanish.

Another benefit is that it's generally easy to spell as well, which loads of businesses have a problem with when it comes to search.

The majority of our customers are not developers so the ability for them to write and run their own automated tests actually hasn't come up as a feature request before to be honest!

Like other platforms, you can of course build and test out functionality and even see what it looks like to users with different user roles before publishing to your user base.

We have workflows functionality (where you can trigger emails and webhooks when data is updated in your app or when action buttons are clicked) and that would probably strike me as one of the first areas where tests could be focused as these things happen more in the background.

Retool's an awesome tool but is very much aimed at developers so an understanding of SQL / Javascript is required to build dashboards using the platform.

Noloco in comparison is no-code first, meaning that you don't actually need to write any queries or know how to code at all to build different views. In fact, Noloco actually automatically creates the basic app for you once you connect your data (list views, record pages and forms). This reduces the learning curve and by being no-code first is accessible to non-developers as well.
