Directual review
A broad no-code stack for backend-heavy products, AI systems, and mobile wrappers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Directual is a full-stack no-code platform for building web applications, internal tools, backend-heavy products, AI systems, Web3 applications, and Telegram Mini Apps. It combines a NoSQL database, visual web-page builder, real-time and scheduled backend scenarios, API endpoints, webhooks, authentication, file storage, plugins, and third-party integrations. Its audience includes software developers, startup founders, product owners, freelancers, agencies, and enterprises that need more backend depth than a page-focused builder typically provides.
The platform’s strongest fit is its backend and AI feature set. Users can create unlimited scenarios, endpoints, and pages on the Startup plans, while vector search and AI-agent building tools support AI-oriented workflows. Integrations include OpenAI, Telegram, Facebook, Google, OpenID, Gmail, Trello, Amazon S3, MetaMask, Polygon, WalletConnect, WordPress, Bubble, and Adalo. Authentication methods include login-password authentication, and platform listings cover web, iOS, Android, and API delivery. Mobile publishing is available through iOS and Android wrappers rather than native app development.
According to the published plans, Startup costs $39 per app per month with annual billing or $49 monthly, with basic features, premium plugins, and community support. Pro costs $175 annually or $249 monthly and adds a custom domain, free SSL, hosting region selection, advanced security, and premium support. Business is listed at $840 per app per month with annual billing and adds an advanced SDK, dev-prod environments, a service level agreement, daily backups, and individual consultations. Team costs $59 per developer seat monthly on annual billing or $74 monthly. Directual suits teams prioritizing backend workflows and AI capabilities; teams needing native mobile development or local hosting should choose another platform.
