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; Momen there is no source code export and no self-hosting, so if the vendor changes direction or pricing, migration means rebuilding the application from scratch against exported data.

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

Momen

  • There is no source code export and no self-hosting, so if the vendor changes direction or pricing, migration means rebuilding the application from scratch against exported data.
  • It is a young platform with a small team, so the template library, the pool of community answers and the third-party integration marketplace are all thin next to Bubble or WeWeb.
  • The learning curve is real, because you are exposed to schemas, relations, queries and access rules, which stops it serving the audience that spreadsheet-backed builders serve.
  • Mobile applications are web output rather than native builds, so anything needing real device capability or an app store listing is a wrapper rather than a native app.
  • Support and documentation come from the vendor rather than a large user base, so an unusual problem escalates to the same small team everyone else is waiting on.

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
Momen: Do I need a separate backend?

No. The database, authentication, API and payments are part of the platform, which is the main difference from builders that expect you to bring Supabase or Airtable.

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
Momen: Can I get my data out?

Yes. The Postgres data exports and is reachable over a GraphQL API. The application itself is not exportable.

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
Momen: Can I self-host it?

No. It runs on vendor infrastructure only, so a data residency requirement rules it out.

Momen: Is it suitable for a non-technical founder?

Only one willing to learn data modelling. If you want to point at a spreadsheet and get an application, this is the wrong end of the category.
