Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 15 of the 42 other spreadsheet and database tools we grade
Noloco builds client portals, internal tools and CRMs from a database or spreadsheet you already have, with an AI assistant called Nola for generating pages, tables and workflows. Data can live in Noloco Tables or be connected from sources such as Airtable, Google Sheets, Postgres and HubSpot.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Noloco, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It is a web app where you build the portal yourself, so there is a learning curve.

The report card
Best for client portals and internal tools on top of your data
Noloco builds client portals and internal apps from Airtable, Google Sheets, Postgres or its own tables, with an AI builder called Nola. The free plan caps you at 2,000 records and 50 clients, and Salesforce and API connections are Enterprise only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Build is $65 a month billed annually ($79 monthly) with 10 seats, which is $13 each for a team of ten, about the middle of spreadsheet tools. Extra seats and records cost more. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free has unlimited team seats, 2,000 records, 50 active clients and 30 AI credits a month, and a 14-day trial of Build needs no card. A small portal could live there. |
| Features | C | Portals, internal apps, workflows, action buttons, mobile apps and many data sources. Salesforce and API sources are Enterprise only and Google Sheets is import-only on Free, which are gaps. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is a web app where you build the portal yourself, so there is a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with mobile apps, plus links to Airtable, Google Sheets, Xano, Stripe, Postgres, Supabase and HubSpot, and an API. No desktop app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Noloco is for
- Fits if you want a client portal on top of an Airtable base or a Google Sheet
- Makes sense if you want to try a portal for free before paying
Who it is not for
- Tight if you grow past 2,000 records or 50 clients on Free
- Pricey if you add seats or records on Build, at $5 per extra seat and $25 per extra 25,000 records
- Skip it if you need Salesforce or API data sources, as those are Enterprise only
- Watch out: Google Sheets only syncs from Build up, and is import-only on Free
Good to know
Good for
- Agencies and service firms that want branded client portals on top of a spreadsheet or Airtable base
- Small teams: the free plan has unlimited team seats
Worth knowing
- Free caps records at 2,000 and active clients at 50.
- Salesforce and API data sources are Enterprise only.
- On Build, seats beyond 10 and records beyond 25,000 cost extra; the page says rows can be added up to 250,000 records.
- Google Sheets is import-only on the Free plan and syncs on Build and above.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Noloco you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $780 a year.
What you could make
- Forms: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Noloco’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
