The best low code solutions I’ve seen from the end user perspective are ones that create sane looking skeleton code for you and have an eject button for when you hit the boundaries of what the tool is capable of. The eject button is a one off operation that switches the low code solution to a traditional code based solution, and is irreversible. Bootstrapping and prototyping quickly is a great use case for low code tools in the phase where long term code maintenance is not really important.

Such a model is not easily monetized which is why you don’t often see this model in the wild. Draftbit is one company I’ve seen that uses this model: https://draftbit.com/pricing. Note I am not affiliated and have not used the software just find it interesting to see this model actually out in the wild.
