Build Your MVP with BAN & Dittofi in August
No-Code Partnership to Support More Dynamic Startup Development
Problem
In Bangladesh and beyond, many startups are run by non-technical founders who struggle to get MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) off the ground, namely because they either lack a full-time CTO, or access to a quality development team. As a result, many teams choose to outsource their app and software development, which ends up taking far more time and resources than necessary when it comes to deploying prototypes and getting market and user feedback, which is the most valuable thing in the early stages of a company.
Solution
Dittofi is a full-stack no-code platform that empowers you with real code. Without any coding knowledge, you can build full-stack web apps on a visual canvas. When finished, Dittofi automatically converts the canvas into software, whose source code you can download and export to other platforms. With Dittofi, you can prototype fast, launch securely, iterate easily, scale confidently and most importantly, own your own code.
How It Works
Visually design your front end, generating React / Redux code in the background. Import custom HTML / CSS or use pre-built components & styling libraries such as bootstrap & material design, to build an app with a superior & 100% custom user experience.
Your backend automatically writes itself in Google Go (golang). You can build 100% custom or kick start development with full stack templates. Manage security, integrate with third party APIs, scale for big data analytics & much much more.
dittofi’s code generators automatically transform your designs into high quality, human readable code. Push your code to your private Github or download it as a .zip file & host it yourself.
We also give you the option to launch your code securely into the dittofi cloud at the push of a button.
Scale
Since Dittofi’s April release, they have had over 300 apps built on their platform. The user types range from startups to professional development agencies. The app types range from:
Websites & landing pages
Marketing websites
Membership apps e.g. gated content
Directories
Fintech / RegTech
Two-sided marketplaces
On-demand service apps
Chat apps
Content management systems
Learning management systems
Customer relationship management systems
Event management
Geo-location apps map applications
Back office & administration
Music sharing apps.
Pricing Structure
Dittofi has several points of entry to the platform:
Self serve is free. Using self-serve, users can build & learn the Dittofi software on a free plan using support guides & youtube videos.
Dittofi boot camp. On a Dittofi boot camp, users can shorten the time to learning how to build an app to around a month.
Outsource to a Dittofi expert. Packages for Dittofi experts vary according to the expert. Some run as low as $20 per hour for an offshore, but high quality Dittofi expert.
Once an app is built, Dittofi charges for hosting. Starting price is $29.99 & then the price scales according to your needs. Typical apps are launched between $115 - $529 per month depending on how resource intensive the apps are.
Dittofi also allows you to get source code exports. As part of any partnership agreement signed with BAN, Dittofi would offer the price of the source code to be $1000 per month, per app worked on & capped at $24,000. Code export is a feature that is not offered by other no-code platforms.
Compared against other no-code platforms, Dittofi matches them on price. However, the solutions that can be built are far more customizable & feature rich (& you can own your app’s source code).

August 2021 Workshop - Build a Full-Stack App on Dittofi
Dittofi & BAN are partnering to offer up to 10 pre-screened participants to undergo an exclusive, 5 week joint workshop to build their MVP on the Dittofi platform (market value of U$5,000). The goal is to launch 10 apps in 5 weeks.
This will be led by Nelly Sugu, a professional full-stack educator at HackerU who trains university students on full-stack software development.
Each week, Nelly will set the group a homework task. The BAN & Dittofi teams’ support will be on hand for the entire 5 week period to help attendees as much as is needed so that they can all find success.
If you’re interested in being a participant in the workshop, please sign up via this form and let us know what you want to build. We will set up a consultation session between the BAN & Dittofi teams and yourself to answer any questions.
