The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AppSheet starter plan at $5 per user per month limits the native database to 5 databases at 2,500 rows each; FlutterFlow downloading your own generated code requires the Pro tier, so on cheaper plans you can build the application but cannot take it with you, which is precisely the reason most buyers chose the product.

Where each one falls short

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

AppSheet

  • Starter plan at $5 per user per month limits the native database to 5 databases at 2,500 rows each
  • Enterprise Plus at $20 per user per month can only be purchased by a Google Workspace Administrator
  • Free exploration is capped at 10 users

FlutterFlow

  • Downloading your own generated code requires the Pro tier, so on cheaper plans you can build the application but cannot take it with you, which is precisely the reason most buyers chose the product.
  • The output is Dart and Flutter, so the escape hatch only helps an organisation that already has or is willing to hire Flutter developers; for a non-technical buyer the exported code is unusable.
  • Once logic moves into custom functions and custom widgets, the visual editor becomes slower than writing the same code by hand, so the tool works against you at exactly the point the project gets serious.
  • The browser editor gets sluggish on large projects, with preview and build times that lengthen as page and component counts grow, which is felt daily by teams past the prototype stage.
  • There is no backend; Firebase or Supabase modelling, security rules, indexes and their bills are entirely your responsibility, so a FlutterFlow application is always at least two subscriptions and two skill sets.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AppSheet: Can I build and test apps before paying for AppSheet?

Yes, AppSheet offers a free prototyping tier where you can test your apps with up to 10 users at no cost before deploying paid subscriptions.

Source
FlutterFlow: Can I export the code?

Yes, on the Pro tier and above. Lower tiers can build and preview but not download the Flutter project.

AppSheet: Is AppSheet included with Google Workspace subscriptions?

Yes, the Core plan ($10/user/month) is included with most paid Google Workspace plans, allowing you to build applications without additional licensing costs.

Source
FlutterFlow: Do I need to know how to code?

Not to build a straightforward application. You will need Dart for custom functions, for anything unusual, and for maintaining the exported project afterwards.

AppSheet: What data sources can AppSheet connect to?

AppSheet connects to spreadsheets, cloud storage, databases, REST APIs, and SaaS platforms like Salesforce, enabling seamless integration with your existing tech stack.

Source
FlutterFlow: Does it include a database?

No. FlutterFlow builds the client. Data lives in Firebase, Supabase or your own API, and those costs and design decisions are separate.
