Knack vs. Blaze.tech

Which no-code platform is best for building a secure, HIPAA-ready healthcare app? 

Why Healthcare Teams Choose Knack Over Blaze.tech

If your healthcare team wants to streamline operations so you can focus more on care, a no-code app is the way to go. But which AI app builder is best for your needs — especially when it comes to HIPAA compliance, customization, pricing, and ease of use?  

Both Knack and Blaze.tech promise fast app development without traditional coding. But when it comes to building flexible, HIPAA-ready healthcare apps that can scale with your organization — and that are inexpensive to build — the differences couldn’t be more clear. Below is a detailed, side-by-side comparison of how Knack compares to Blaze.tech.

5 Reasons Why Healthcare Companies Choose Knack over Blaze.tech

Blaze.tech

Built-in HIPAA Compliance and Enterprise Security

HIPAA compliance is built directly into Knack’s platform, along with SOC 2 and GDPR standards. Healthcare teams can confidently manage PHI with role-based access controls, audit logs, encrypted data, and secure authentication — without custom configurations.

Blaze.tech supports healthcare use cases, but compliance often depends on how apps are configured. Achieving HIPAA-level security may require additional setup, policies, or external tools — and it comes at a higher pricing tier.

Predictable, Transparent Pricing

Knack uses flat, predictable pricing with plans that scale by features — not usage. You get unlimited users, databases, forms, and records, making it easier to forecast costs as your healthcare app grows. Start with a free, 14-day trial.

Pricing starts at $1,500 per month with limited capabilities, and costs can increase based on usage, app complexity, or custom requirements. For healthcare teams managing growing patient data, costs can become harder to predict over time.

Flexible Customization Without Technical Debt

Knack’s text prompt and visual builder capabilities allow for complex customizations of workflows, permissions, and user experiences — without generating brittle or opaque code. Apps remain easy to update and maintain as requirements evolve.

While Blaze.tech supports customization at higher pricing tiers, more advanced logic can become harder to manage as apps scale, especially for non-technical teams.

Designed for Complex Healthcare Data Models

Knack excels at managing complex data relationships, such as for patients, providers, appointments, records, billing, and outcomes, all within a single platform.

Blaze.tech supports structured data, but complex relational models may require workarounds or additional planning.

Strong Support and Healthcare-friendly Resources

Knack offers responsive support, detailed documentation, templates, and a large community of builders — including teams working in regulated industries like healthcare.

Support is available, but healthcare-specific guidance and examples are more limited compared to Knack’s mature ecosystem.

FAQ

What sets Knack apart from other healthcare app builders?

Knack combines built-in HIPAA compliance, enterprise-grade security, scalability, and powerful AI app-building tools in one platform at a significantly lower cost than most healthcare-focused solutions. Unlike many tools that specialize only in automations or components, Knack enables fully customizable, production-ready healthcare applications that scale with little-to-no maintenance.

Yes. Knack offers built-in HIPAA compliance, including encrypted data storage and transfer, role-based permissions, audit trails, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), so healthcare teams can manage protected health information without custom infrastructure.

With Knack, you can build a wide range of HIPAA-ready healthcare apps, including patient portals, intake and referral systems, care coordination tools, internal operations apps, dashboards, custom workflows, and more. The only limit is your imagination!
