What Problems Can You Solve?

Betty Blocks is fast and flexible, yet powerful, secure, and scalable enough to embed within enterprise-level application strategy. A network of Betty Blocks-built web and mobile applications can facilitate a full digital transformation within your company. You can also easily (and rapidly) develop prototypes to test on a small-scale, collect feedback, optimize, re-test, through constant iteration, bringing greater agility to your organization--meaning even large enterprise organizations can operate with the agility of startups.

Additionally, because Betty Blocks is designed with the citizen developer in mind, you can close the gap left by a shortage of professional developers by making it possible for more of your workforce to contribute applications--on a platform that can be fully monitored and governed by IT, and that supports collaboration between teams of developers.

Because Low-code does require a professional developer who can code, it does not address the developer shortage problem. While it allow developers to work 2x faster, there is a limit to the degree that a low-code platform can reduce IT’s backlog.

Pricing

The Betty Blocks pricing model ensures you always have the ability to build, iterate, and expand solutions without costs ballooning alongside your needs. Find the perfect fit by choosing a platform edition (Single, Standard, or Enterprise), the number of users for your application, and any add-ons or expansions you might need.

Other platforms boasts a complex platform with many, many functionalities, and that is reflected in the cost--whether or not you need or use most of them. Pricing is also complex based it is based on the number of end users for the apps you build as well as hosting impact.

Enterprise-grade Applications

Critics claim that no-code platforms are not capable of building applications with real business value. And certainly, other no-code platforms like Trackvia possess a range of capabilities in terms of the complexities of applications they can support or be used to develop. However, Betty Blocks is a new breed of no-code, representing the next step in the evolution of programming .

For starters, Betty Blocks is the only no-code platform to be ISO27001 certified, proving that we don’t take shortcuts when it comes to security (or anything else, for that matter). With a sophisticated architecture built from Kubernetes containers and the Elixir language, Betty Blocks is uniquely powerful and able to navigate the complexity that enterprise-grade applications demand, both web-based and digital. Because of customizable components, experienced developers can also insert HTML and Javascript customizations in areas of the platform like the UI Builder, for example. The possibilities are limitless.

Who We Are

Our Betty Blocks company culture is something we’re quite proud of. People are at the center of everything we do, and we believe that the future of innovation lies in the hands of humans, not systems. We want businesses to be able to optimize their human potential by giving more employees the tools to develop applications. Our big, hairy, and audacious goal? That by 2023, anyone can build an application.
