Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Xano is a hosted backend platform for building, testing, deploying and governing APIs, databases, server-side logic and agent-facing MCP servers, with a managed PostgreSQL database and built-in deployment tooling.
More detail
- It is designed to make backend code produced by AI coding agents governable, with policies, tests, permissions and review gates set before builds and enforced during promotion.
- Frontends are built separately — Xano is explicitly the backend layer.
- Best for
- Application, platform and IT teams that need a production backend without running infrastructure themselves, and regulated teams or teams using AI coding agents that want generated logic governed, tested and reviewable before it reaches production.
- Pricing
- Subscription SaaS with no transaction spread, yield, FX spread or deposit minimum disclosed.
More detail
- Free is $0 with a 10-request-per-20-seconds API limit, up to 100K database records, 1 GB watermarked image storage, 1 workspace and 1 seat.
- Essential is $85/month billed annually ($99 monthly) with 3 workspa
- Main limitation
- Teams looking for an all-in-one no-code app builder with a bundled frontend, and anyone who needs production features such as workflow tests, sandboxes, branching or background tasks on a zero-cost plan — the Free tier is rate-limited and several capabilities are paid-only.

About

- Frontends are built separately — Xano is explicitly the backend layer.
What it helps with
- Building and running a production backend — managed Postgres, REST APIs, authentication, server-side logic and backgroun
- AI-built prototypes stalling before production because there is no enforced path from sandbox to a reviewed, immutable r
- AI-generated backend code that no one can audit or reproduce, because it lands outside the team's rules, tests and envir
- Governing agent-written changes so every modification is attributable, timestamped and reviewable like a human's.
- Enforcing auth patterns, dependencies, data residency and review gates once instead of reviewing after every build.
- Letting AI agents call business logic through MCP without granting them direct production access.
- Meeting compliance expectations — SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701/9001, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA — with audit logs, request histo
