The Problem

Hosted builders own your data — and the result.

Other website builders keep your content and infrastructure on their platform, and gate features by plan. You build on their terms — and you never truly own what you ship.

PROBLEM 01

Zero Sovereignty

Your content and infrastructure live on someone else's servers — not yours. Export it? Good luck.

PROBLEM 02

Feature Paywalls

Core capabilities are paywalled behind plan tiers you don't control. Need a feature? Upgrade. Again.

PROBLEM 03

Vendor Lock-in

You build on their terms — and never truly own what you ship. They can shut you down anytime.

The Chaibuilder difference

Ownership, by default.

01

Own your data

Bring your own Postgres or SQLite. Content, users, and actions live in your database. Chaibuilder has no access.

02

Own your infrastructure

Delivered as code. You host it, you run it, you scale it — on whatever infrastructure you already trust.

03

No feature tiers

Every license unlocks the entire product. No feature flags, no upsell walls, no "upgrade to unlock".

Low-code, not no-code

Developers build it.
Editors run it.

One platform, two workflows. Engineers get full codebase control. Editors get a no-code canvas. Everyone wins.
