Whats the difference between this and Builder.io? both no/low code apps with a CMS as its base. Drag and drop for UI, auto-code generation and plug into back end of choice.

We have a lot of respect for the work Builder.io is doing! If you're using Plasmic as a CMS, then there is a lot of overlap there. But Plasmic is a general visual React app builder, and as such, it comes with a lot of the abstractions and power you need to build a full React app. For example, you can craft reusable components in Plasmic that have different variants and have stateful behavior, and you can make use of abstractions like style tokens. Whereas Builder.io's UI is pretty focused on building individual pages, Plasmic is more about building the intermediate, reusable pieces of your app -- components, tokens, etc -- that you can then compose into pages and experiences. Using Plasmic will feel a little more like working on a full React application... for better or worse
