Going no-code for a startup is crazy. Your failure state isn't "it ends up being x% more expensive", it's that you hit a brick wall and you either rewrite from scratch (if you're small and agile enough), or your startup dies instantly (if you have enough users and competition that not delivering any features ever again isn't a viable strategy). If I'm an investor and you're pitching a startup that's using no-code for anything other than a throwaway version for the purposes of a sales pitch, that's an instant dealbreaker. I don't care how good the idea is or how smart your team is, I'll happily bet the house on it failing.
