OutSystems is an enterprise platform for building apps and AI agents, with prompt-based creation and a full development environment behind it. No subscription price is published, the free Personal Edition is a development runtime for learning only, and 24x7 support and compliance are paid add-ons. - **Value for money: C.** No subscription price is published; it is a quote based on Application Objects, end users and add-ons.

No gap shows in the job, only plan add-ons. - **Ease of use: C.** A web environment with a learning curve, built for professional developers.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-app-builders ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace OutSystems you would be making a tool that builds and hosts other apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 39 of the 89 other AI app builders grade higher. - You could not: A tool that builds and hosts other apps. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** App builder, AI agents, AI features, Self-hostable ## Alternatives - [Mendix](https://toolgpa.com/tools/mendix): Enterprise low-code platform for business applications.
