  • S5 Episode 7 How the Right No-Code Choice Can Save You Thousands
    Jan 26 2026

    What if the “easy” choice ends up being the most expensive one? In this episode of The LowCode Podcast, we break down a real-life case where a medical company nearly burned $40K by defaulting to the wrong no-code platform. Their goal? Build a training and inquiry app for surgeons and nurses. Their instinct? Use Glide for its speed. But with 5,000+ users expected across two continents, that decision could’ve wrecked their budget.

    We walk you through how we pivoted to Bubble (despite it taking twice as long to develop) and how that one change flipped their cost structure. Glide’s per-user pricing model would have ballooned to $2,000/month, while Bubble’s usage-based pricing kept costs closer to $200/month. The kicker? They hit ROI by month 14 and dodged a painful scalability trap. This isn’t just about one app, it’s about how to think like a strategist when building software.

    If you're building business tools on no-code platforms, this episode is essential listening. You'll learn how to assess hosting models, subscription fees, and long-term scaling costs before writing a single line (or dragging a single component). Don't just build fast—build smart. Because your platform decision today might be the reason you thrive or overspend tomorrow.

  • S5 Episode 6 From Spreadsheet Chaos to 35% More Sales
    Jan 19 2026

    Operational chaos doesn’t just slow businesses down—it kills growth. In this episode of The LowCode Podcast, we share how a luxury wedding videography company drowning in 450 bookings and scattered spreadsheets turned things around with a custom AI-integrated app built by our expert team. It’s a tactical breakdown of how the right software can eliminate manual work, surface key pipeline insights, and give sales teams the clarity they need to close faster.

    We walk through the before-and-after: from missed follow-ups and siloed spreadsheets to a single system that tracks every lead, triggers timely follow-ups, and intelligently matches photographers to clients. The result? A 35% lift in conversions, an 80% improvement in response time, and not a single lead lost during peak season. This isn’t about automating everything—it’s about creating visibility where it matters most.

    We also dig into why most growing service businesses aren’t suffering from lack of tools—they’re suffering from lack of transparency. You don’t need a perfect system to grow. You need one your entire team can actually see and use. If you're scaling operations and feel like your backend is holding you back, this episode is a masterclass in how clarity, not just code, drives results

  • S5 Episode 5 The Greatest Pitfalls of E-Commerce Growth
    Jan 12 2026

    In this episode of The LowCode Podcast, we pull apart a hard truth in e-commerce: the store can look “simple” right up until growth exposes everything you’ve been duct-taping behind the scenes. Early wins feel like proof the model works, then order volume jumps and the business starts to wobble in places you didn’t even know existed.

    We talk through the operational cracks that quietly turn into expensive problems: inventory you can’t trust, reports that don’t match reality, fulfillment that slips, and customers who feel the fallout. Spreadsheets and manual handoffs might survive at 20 orders a day, then become the source of confusion at 200. Margins shrink, support load climbs, and the team ends up stuck in reactive mode.

    You’ll leave with a clear way to spot the bottlenecks that matter most, why real-time data changes decision-making, and what “good” looks like in connected systems that actually talk to each other. Marketing can bring the traffic, but ops decides if the business keeps the profit—and keeps the team sane—once growth shows up.
