Yes. If your requirement is specifically **“the no-code/low-code platform itself will execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA)”**, the list is much shorter than the list of platforms that merely advertise themselves as “HIPAA-ready.” As of August 2026, these are the strongest options I’d put on the shortlist: | Platform | BAA? | Best fit | My take | |---|---|---|---| | **Caspio** | ✅ Yes | Custom healthcare apps, portals, databases | **Best overall** | | **Knack Health** | ✅ Yes | Healthcare operations, patient/admin apps | **Best healthcare-focused option** | | **Quickbase** | ✅ Yes, higher tiers | Enterprise internal workflows/apps | Strong, but expensive | | **OutSystems** | ✅ Available for healthcare deployments | Complex enterprise apps | Powerful, more low-code than no-code | | **Mendix** | ✅ Available depending on deployment/contract | Enterprise healthcare software | Powerful but more technical | | **Formstack** | ✅ Yes | Forms, intake, documents, e-signatures | **Excellent for forms/workflows, not a general app builder** | ### 1. Caspio — my first choice Caspio has a dedicated **HIPAA Edition** with a signed BAA, encryption at rest/in transit, audit trails, dedicated HIPAA infrastructure, and unlimited users. Its current HIPAA Edition pricing starts at **$800/month** on a one-year term. [www.caspio.com](https://www.caspio.com/hipaa-edition/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) It's particularly good if you're building something like: - Patient portals - Intake/registration systems - Provider dashboards - Scheduling systems - Care-coordination software - Custom healthcare databases - Internal operational apps [Caspio HIPAA Edition](https://www.caspio.com/hipaa-edition/) ### 2. Knack Health Knack has a healthcare-specific offering with a **signed BAA**, encrypted storage/transfer, role-based permissions, and record-change logs. Its HIPAA offering is separate from its ordinary no-code plans. [www.knack.com](https://www.knack.com/health/hipaa-database/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) This is particularly attractive for smaller healthcare organizations that want to build their own: - Patient/intake databases - Referral tracking - Staff workflows - Home-care systems - Scheduling - Reporting dashboards Knack says its HIPAA plans start around **$625/month**, with no per-user fees. [www.knack.com](https://www.knack.com/blog/no-code-prototype-hipaa-baa/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) [Knack Health](https://www.knack.com/health/) ### 3. Quickbase Quickbase can support HIPAA deployments and a BAA, but HIPAA functionality is generally associated with its higher-tier/enterprise engagements rather than the basic plans. [www.caspio.com](https://www.caspio.com/blog/best-quickbase-alternative-for-no-code-apps-2026/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) I'd consider it if you're building a **large internal healthcare operations system** rather than a consumer-facing product. ### 4. OutSystems OutSystems is worth considering for larger healthcare organizations. It's technically more **low-code** than pure no-code, but gives you considerably more control than platforms such as Caspio or Knack. It's a better fit when you need complicated integrations, sophisticated business logic, or an application that may eventually require custom development. ### 5. Mendix Similar story to OutSystems: enterprise-oriented low-code rather than simple no-code. It can make sense if you're building a substantial healthcare application and have IT/development resources available. ### 6. Formstack If your definition of “no-code platform” includes **forms/workflow rather than full application builders**, Formstack is a very good option. Formstack explicitly says it provides a standard BAA and offers HIPAA-compliant forms and e-signature workflows. [www.formstack.com](https://www.formstack.com/features/hipaa-compliant-esignatures?utm_source=chatgpt.com) It's particularly good for: **patient intake → document generation → signatures → workflow → notifications** rather than building an entire EHR-like application. [Formstack HIPAA information](https://www.formstack.com/features/hipaa-compliant-esignatures) --- ### Platforms I'd *not* put on the HIPAA shortlist **Bubble:** I would not use Bubble if the Bubble platform itself will touch PHI. Bubble's current security materials discuss SOC 2, encryption, etc., but I could not verify a current Bubble BAA offering. Independent/current sources continue to report that Bubble does not provide the necessary BAA. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/features?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **Webflow:** Fine for the public-facing website, but don't treat Webflow's native infrastructure as your PHI-handling application layer. You can, for example, embed a BAA-backed Formstack form into Webflow. [webflow.com](https://webflow.com/integrations/formstack?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **Airtable / Glide / Softr / Lovable / Bolt / similar:** Don't assume that an “enterprise security” plan means the vendor will sign a BAA covering your particular PHI workflow. Get the actual BAA and verify the exact plan before putting PHI into it. ### The important distinction A **BAA is necessary, but it doesn't magically make your application HIPAA compliant**. You need to examine the entire data path: **User → frontend → app platform → database → storage → email/SMS → integrations → analytics → AI → backups** Every vendor that handles PHI needs to be appropriately covered. For example, if your no-code platform signs a BAA but you send patient information through a non-BAA email, automation, analytics, or AI service, you've potentially broken your compliance boundary. HIPAA compliance also requires appropriate access controls, auditability, security procedures, breach processes, etc. [www.caspio.com](https://www.caspio.com/blog/hipaa-compliance-guide-no-code-applications/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **If you tell me what you're actually trying to build** (e.g. patient portal, healthcare SaaS, intake app, internal clinic system, telehealth app, etc.), I can narrow this to **2–3 platforms and compare their BAA, pricing, database, auth, API, audit-log, and AI capabilities**.
