Why we picked it This one is written for exactly your situation: someone whose whole product lives inside a no-code tool. It names the specific traps to check before you commit, no source-code export, workflows that only run on that platform, and data you cannot pull out in a usable form, so you can spot the lock-in upfront instead of the day the platform changes its pricing. Treat it as a checklist to run against any tool you are about to build on, not the final word.
No-Code Vendor Lock-In: Learn How to Protect Your Project Now

- The data is legally yours, but that means little if you cannot export it in a format you can actually rebuild on somewhere else, so test the export before you depend on it.
- Lock-in shows up in three places to check upfront: can you export the source, are the workflows portable, and can you get the data out clean.
- Your leverage comes from keeping regular exports in formats you control (CSV, JSON, SQL) so a shutdown or price hike is an inconvenience, not an existential event.
