The short version

Each has a real cost: Appian cost multiplies on three axes at once, users, apps and month, so deploying several apps to overlapping user populations produces a bill that is not obvious from any single per-user headline figure.; Superblocks teams plan is limited to just 1 hosted app by default, with additional apps costing $10/app/month.
They diverge on capability: Appian covers Low-code process designer, Superblocks covers Clark AI agent.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Appian

Cost multiplies on three axes at once, users, apps and month, so deploying several apps to overlapping user populations produces a bill that is not obvious from any single per-user headline figure.
Each tier has hard caps on data rows, RPA bots and monthly AI actions, so a workload can force a tier upgrade purely from data or automation volume growth, independent of user count.
No dollar figures are published anywhere on Appian's own site; every real price point comes from a sales negotiation, making early-stage budget comparison against OutSystems or Mendix difficult.
The platform's strength in process orchestration and case management is less useful for teams that mainly want simple departmental data apps, where the pricing and capability are overkill.
Exceeding the 200,000 (Standard) or 1,000,000 (Premium) monthly AI action allowance requires a renegotiation, so AI-heavy workflows carry real usage risk beyond the base subscription.

Superblocks

Teams plan is limited to just 1 hosted app by default, with additional apps costing $10/app/month.
Usage is capped by Governed Agent Units, adding a metering layer beyond a flat per-seat price.
Advanced deployment options like VPC and Cloud-Prem are reserved for the custom-priced Enterprise tier.
No published free tier, only a 14-day trial, making it harder to evaluate at no cost long-term.
