S4 Episode 23 LowCode vs. Traditional Development Agencies

The LowCode Podcast

In this episode of The LowCode Podcast, we tackle a critical decision for founders and product leads: Should early-stage startups choose no-code/low-code development agencies or go the traditional dev agency route?

We break down the trade-offs in speed, cost, risk, and scalability, making the case for why fast validation often beats long-term perfection especially when time and budget are tight.

You’ll hear why no-code isn’t just “good enough” for MVPs—it’s often the smartest, leanest path to market. We also address common concerns around vendor lock-in and scalability, and why those risks are usually overblown for early builds.

If you’re building under pressure to prove traction, this episode offers a strategic lens on how to make build decisions that match your product stage, not your future ambitions.
