Which one is for you
Pick Appsmith if
- Fits if you build internal tools and can self-host to pay nothing
- Works for small teams of up to 5 on the free cloud plan
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you grow, as the free cloud plan stops at 5 users, 5 workspaces and 3 Git repos
- Pricey if you need SSO, since SAML, OIDC and SCIM are Enterprise at $2,500 a month
- Watch out: Workflows, audit logs and custom roles start on Business
- Watch out: the page does not say whether the $15 Business price is monthly or yearly
Pick Superblocks if
- Makes sense if IT wants control over the internal apps its teams build
- Fits if you have up to 15 builders to put on one plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan: only a 14-day trial exists
- Pricey if you're one person: Teams is $100 a month flat
- Watch out: Teams stops at 15 builders and 1 hosted app, then apps are $10 each a month
- Watch out: SSO, role-based access, audit logs and source control are Enterprise only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
