Why Build with a Low-Code App Builder?

Digital transformation is forcing companies to build mobile apps faster than ever before. Unfortunately, native app development just takes too long and is too expensive. Low-code app builders, like Alpha Anywhere, enable more people to build mobile apps without hiring professional developers. Gartner predicts that “By 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity.”
