Which one is for you
Pick Caspio if
- Fits if you build portals for outside users and don't want to pay per person
- Makes sense if you need compliance options like a HIPAA-style edition
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you are one person or a small team, as the floor is $270 a month on annual billing
- Tight if you grow, since Team stops at 5 app authors and 250K records
- Watch out: onboarding is a separate fee, $600 for Jumpstart or $1,800 for Enterprise Onboarding
- Watch out: SMS and some extensions use credit-based billing
- Watch out: the free trial length isn't stated
Pick Ragic if
- Fits if your team already thinks in spreadsheets and wants linked records and approvals
- Works for people who want mobile data entry and offline use
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as Free allows 3 custom sheets of 1,000 records
- Tight if you need many sheets, because Lite caps custom sheets at 5
- Pricey if you need the bigger plans, since concurrent-user plans are sold in blocks of 10 from $499 a month
- Watch out: annual billing gets one free month rather than a stated rate
- Watch out: AI usage is metered in multiples of an amount defined on a separate page

More comparisons
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.
