The Best No-Code Tools For Marketplaces in 2024

So, you want to start a marketplace business? You've been doing your research and are more confused than ever. With so many no-code tools out there, each with slightly different features and promises, it can seem like a lot is at stake when it comes to choosing the right tool. I get it. Over the last three years, the no-code space has changed drastically. Tools have gotten better, new tools have been launched, and it’s just hard to keep up. It's been three years since I posted my first YouTube video breaking down what no-code tools I used to build Unicorn Factory, and till this day, I still get tons of emails every month asking me questions like: - "What tools are you using on Unicorn Factory now?" - "What do you think about Bubble?" - "Have you tried [insert latest tool here]?" In this post, I will answer all of those questions and break down my exact no-code stack for building marketplaces in 2024. You will find out what I am using to power my freelancer marketplace Unicorn Factory today, why I prefer those tools for building marketplaces, and why I think you should choose the same stack to build your marketplaces. Sound good? Let's get into it. ‍

How to Measure Marketplace Growth

When I first started Unicorn Factory, my main goal was simple: find freelance work for myself. But as the marketplace grew, I realized flying blind without solid metrics made it impossible to scale effectively. Tracking the right data didn’t just help me grow Unicorn Factory into a platform connecting thousands of freelancers with clients—it shaped every decision I made. From onboarding freelancers to generating consistent leads, knowing which numbers mattered most made all the difference. If you're building a marketplace and feeling overwhelmed by what to track or where to focus, you’re not alone. That’s why in this guide, I’ll share: - **How to define the one metric that drives growth** for your marketplace. - **How to break down key metrics** for supply (freelancers) and demand (clients). - **How to turn data into actionable steps** that help your marketplace thrive. - **How to set up simple tracking systems** using tools you can rely on. Marketplaces live or die by their ability to balance supply and demand. Without clear metrics, it’s easy to focus too much on one side and leave the other under-served. By understanding the numbers that matter, you’ll save time, avoid mistakes, and ensure your marketplace grows sustainably. Let’s get started.
