Xano
Pros

Cons
- Free plan has strict rate limits (10 requests per 20 seconds), limiting real-world testing
- Paid plans start at $85/month, which is significant for solo developers or small projects
- Vendor lock-in risk—backend logic is built within Xano's proprietary visual builder
- Feature details and limits per tier are not clearly listed on the pricing page
