No code SaaS presents orgs with the amazing opportunity to develop software applications with minimal or no coding. Any SaaS company that is looking to scale and innovate quickly is going to be interested in this opportunity, surely?
Let’s see how many respondents from our Future of SaaS Report are taking up the no code solution.
Although only 19% of our respondents confirmed that they have fully embraced no code, with 48% claiming that they have yet to adopt a low-code model, a sizable proportion of our participants claimed that they have plans to evolve to no code (33%).
"Low or no-code will in my opinion grow a lot in the coming years. We see that more and more tech becomes accessible for people who can’t code themselves. This makes it possible to create a SaaS business fast and cheap. This is perfect for start-ups because they can create a high-functioning MVP and test it on real-life customers without coding anything."

Can no code benefit SaaS orgs?
No code development is still not ideal for creating complex software programs for now.
However, low-code development works extremely well for creating apps for simple tasks like generating a random number or calculating a price or even creating a web page with a drag-and-drop feature. This type of development is perfect for creating apps for small businesses and SaaS companies.
Many companies hire low-code development staff to create apps for their business.
These apps help companies grow by providing easy ways to do things in the business world. Creating low-code apps saves companies time and money by avoiding the need to pay full-time coders.
Plus, it makes it easy for users to access the features they want without asking IT support for help with setting up new features. For these reasons, no code development is a great way for SaaS companies to grow their business.
How can no code help SaaS companies cut costs?
SaaS companies save money when they hire no code development staff instead of full-time coders. The apps created this way are also much more reliable since no high-quality coders are used.
This frees up time in business operations to focus on other tasks instead of managing the creative no code process of SaaS apps. NO code development works well in business operations since it easily creates effective apps without costly human resources.
How can no code benefit the user?
Low-code is a great way for users to access certain features on an app without needing help from IT support staff. Everyone can benefit from easy access to no-code development!
