No I haven't, because they all have too many limitations that you usually face at the first custom integration you want to do.
Also because I am an experienced dev and building stuff myself is usually faster than for me learning some limiting new tool that I know will cost me and be a pain in the butt whenever I want to customize something.
Are hosting and platform fees more expensive than just running a VPS?
It will never be less expensive than running your own VPS for the single reason that for a no-code tool you pay for more than simply the server performance. You pay for them developing the app, hosting it, configuring it, support etc.
There are tons of tools to build a MVP quickly in many frameworks though, that to me seems like the best alternative.
