Superblocks
Governed platform for AI-built internal apps and agents
Which one is for you
Pick OutSystems if
- Fits if you work for a company that needs governed, production-grade apps
- Works for developers who want to learn the platform on the free Personal Edition
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need a price you can read, as pricing is a custom quote
- Not for you if you want to run a live app free, as the Personal Edition is a development runtime
- Too light on its own if you need 24x7 support, 99.95% uptime or SOC 2, which are paid add-ons
- Watch out: self-hosting is only available on certain plans
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.
