In the vast and chaotic universe of app-building platforms, two peculiar entities, BiznessApps and BuildFire, float serenely through the digital cosmos, offering mere mortals the ability to create mobile applications without writing a single line of code. They both provide drag-and-drop interfaces, push notifications and custom branding, which is all very nice and convenient, like being given a spaceship and told, “Go on, give it a whirl.” Both claim to make app development so easy that even a mildly confused jellyfish could do it, assuming the jellyfish had a keen interest in mobile technology and opposable thumbs.

BiznessApps, which first materialized in 2010 in the good old USA, was designed primarily for small businesses like cafes, fitness studios and hair salons—the sorts of places where you might download an app only to promptly forget about it until your next haircut. It relied on pre-built templates, which meant users could put together an app faster than they could decide on a pizza topping. However, fate, in the form of ESW Capital, decided it was simply too efficient and quietly absorbed it into a digital black hole, making new sales a thing of the past.

BuildFire, on the other hand, burst onto the scene in 2014 with grand ambitions of catering not just to small businesses but also to enterprises, startups and anyone who looked at an app store and thought, “I’d like one of those.” Unlike its template-loving cousin, BuildFire provided a plugin marketplace and API integrations, allowing users to create gloriously customized applications or at the very least, ones that didn’t look like everyone else's. It even offered professional development services, just in case the no-code bit turned out to be not quite as "no-code" as expected.
