Yes. As of **August 2026**, there are several no-code/low-code platforms that will sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA). The important distinction is that **“HIPAA-capable” is not the same as “will sign a BAA for the plan you're buying.”**
### Strongest options
| Platform | BAA? | Best fit | My take |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Caspio** | ✅ Yes | Full database-backed apps, portals, workflows | **Excellent choice** |
| **Knack Health** | ✅ Yes | Healthcare apps, patient portals, operational systems | **Excellent choice** |
| **Zoho Creator** | ✅ Yes | Custom business/healthcare apps | **Good value** |
| **Microsoft Power Apps** | ✅ Yes* | Enterprises already using Microsoft/Dataverse | **Excellent for Microsoft shops** |
| **Quickbase** | ✅ Yes | Enterprise operational workflows | **Good, but expensive** |
| **Airtable** | ✅ Yes* | Lightweight databases/internal apps | **Good for simpler use cases** |
| **Smartsheet** | ✅ Yes* | Workflow/project/operations apps | **Good for workflow-heavy use cases** |
| **Formstack** | ✅ Yes | Forms, intake, documents, e-signatures | **Excellent for forms/workflows** |
\*Typically requires the appropriate enterprise/HIPAA-covered plan or agreement.
#### 1. Caspio
Caspio is probably one of the first platforms I'd evaluate. Its **HIPAA Edition includes a signed BAA**, dedicated HIPAA environment, encryption, audit trails, and unlimited users. Current pricing shown by Caspio starts at **$800/month with a one-year term**. [www.caspio.com](https://www.caspio.com/compliance/hipaa/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

#### 2. Knack Health
Knack now has a healthcare-specific product, **Knack Health**, with a signed BAA, encrypted storage/transmission, role-based permissions, and record-change logs. Its HIPAA plans are specifically designed for healthcare applications. [www.knack.com](https://www.knack.com/health/hipaa-database/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
[Knack Health](https://www.knack.com/health/)
This is particularly interesting if you're building something like a **patient portal, care-management system, home-care application, intake system, or internal healthcare operations app**.
#### 3. Zoho Creator
Zoho Creator supports HIPAA workflows and allows customers to request its BAA. It has ePHI field designation, encryption, granular permissions, audit trails, and backups. [help.zoho.com](https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/creator/security/hipaa/articles/zoho-creator-hipaa-compliance-guide?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
[Zoho Creator HIPAA information](https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/creator/security/hipaa/articles/zoho-creator-hipaa-compliance-guide)
One caveat: **the BAA specifies which Zoho services are covered**, so don't assume every Zoho product/integration is automatically inside your HIPAA boundary. [www.zoho.com](https://www.zoho.com/hipaa.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
#### 4. Microsoft Power Apps
Microsoft Power Apps is another strong option if you're comfortable with the Microsoft ecosystem. Microsoft provides a HIPAA BAA covering its in-scope services, and Power Apps/Dataverse can be used to build custom applications. [learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-hipaa-hitech?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
[Microsoft HIPAA compliance documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-hipaa-hitech)
The downside is that Power Apps is more enterprise-oriented and can become complicated from a licensing/architecture standpoint.
#### 5. Quickbase
Quickbase supports HIPAA with a BAA, but HIPAA access is generally associated with its higher-tier/business engagements rather than the entry-level offering. [www.caspio.com](https://www.caspio.com/blog/best-quickbase-alternative-for-no-code-apps-2026/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
### Platforms I'd be careful about
**Bubble:** I would **not** use Bubble for an application that directly handles PHI. Bubble's own documentation currently says that the platform does **not** meet HIPAA requirements and that it does not support HIPAA-compliant apps. [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
**Glide:** It's a popular no-code platform, but I wouldn't put it in the same "confirmed BAA + healthcare-specific infrastructure" bucket without getting written confirmation from Glide for your exact plan and use case.
**Webflow:** Fine for a marketing site around a healthcare product, but don't treat Webflow itself as your PHI datastore. You can, for example, embed a BAA-backed Formstack form into a Webflow site. [webflow.com](https://webflow.com/integrations/formstack?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
### If you're building an actual healthcare product
I'd narrow the field to:
**Caspio → Knack Health → Power Apps → Zoho Creator**
And I'd choose based on what you're building:
- **Patient-facing/custom database app:** Caspio or Knack
- **Healthcare-specific internal application:** Knack Health
- **Microsoft enterprise environment:** Power Apps + Dataverse
- **Budget-conscious custom app:** Zoho Creator
- **Forms/intake/e-signatures:** Formstack
- **Complex enterprise operations:** Quickbase
One crucial point: **the BAA is only one piece of HIPAA compliance.** Your integrations, email provider, analytics, file storage, authentication, AI services, and other subprocessors that touch PHI may each need appropriate HIPAA coverage/BAAs as well. Formstack, for example, explicitly warns that the customer remains responsible for compliance across the entire workflow and integrations. [help.formstack.com](https://help.formstack.com/hc/en-us/articles/44593118493843-Maintaining-HIPAA-Compliance-with-Formstack?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
If you tell me **what you're trying to build** (e.g. patient portal, SaaS healthcare app, intake form, CRM, scheduling system, home-care app), I can narrow this down to the **3 best platforms and compare their approximate costs, BAA requirements, database capabilities, APIs, and limitations**.
