Instead of Anvil

Anvil alternatives

Anvil centers on full-stack web apps built in Python: its drag-and-drop designer works alongside client- and server-side code, and Data Tables provide a built-in Postgres-backed database. It includes authentication and email, supports HTTP APIs and external Python code through Uplink, and lets developers publish to Anvil hosting or export apps to the open-source Anvil App Server. Responsive apps work on phones and tablets, including as installable Progressive Web Apps with offline operation.

The Free plan offers unlimited apps and cloud hosting, but caps Data Tables at 50,000 rows and 100 MB of storage, and background tasks have a 30-second timeout. That combination may prompt a search for broader app types, more database connections, or distinct approaches to offline work and enterprise workflows. Compare the platforms you need, your preferred design and coding tools, deployment choices, integrations, and free-plan limits or paid-plan costs before switching.
