I tried it out and followed the entire tutorial, but the compulsory 'anvil' branding on every free published app kinda killed it for me.

VB never had that.

But VB also didn't host web apps for you including databases, user accounts, email etc. I think self hosting is an option with Anvil by now, in which case you may be able to remove the branding.
