Editorial take
Why it stands out
Xano should be framed as a backend platform buy, not as a frontend no-code site builder or a generic BaaS clone.

Tool profile
Backend platform for APIs, logic, databases, and agent-ready services with no-code, code, and AI-assisted development modes.
Backend-as-a-service for apps and agents
Xano is a strong addition because it sits in the backend platform layer that many modern stacks still struggle to evaluate cleanly. It combines database, API generation, business logic, background tasks, and now AI-agent and MCP builder surfaces into one managed backend platform. That makes it relevant to developers, no-code builders, agencies, and teams trying to ship AI-enabled products without assembling every backend concern by hand.
Its pricing is detailed enough to deserve proper editorial handling. The official pricing page shows Free at $0, Essential at $85 per month billed annually, Pro at $224 per month billed annually, and a Custom tier for enterprise needs. Xano also publishes add-ons such as CPU and autoscale boosts, storage expansion, and enhanced security, which means the real commercial picture is more nuanced than the headline base plan numbers alone.
