The short version

Only ToolJet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Caspio data record limits are hard caps (1.25 million on Team, 4 million on Business), so a fast-growing dataset can force an upgrade even with the same small internal team using it.; ToolJet free and Pro tiers cap end users at 50, which may be too low for apps needing broad internal distribution.
They diverge on capability: Caspio covers Visual app builder, ToolJet covers Drag-and-drop app builder.

Where each one falls short

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

Caspio

Data record limits are hard caps (1.25 million on Team, 4 million on Business), so a fast-growing dataset can force an upgrade even with the same small internal team using it.
DataPage counts (100 on Team, 200 on Business) limit how many distinct app components can be built, which becomes a real constraint for an organisation running many small, separate apps rather than a few large ones.
The HIPAA compliance add-on costs 500 US dollars a month on top of the base plan with a one-year minimum term, a meaningful additional commitment for healthcare-adjacent buyers.
Its unlimited-user model is only cheaper than per-seat competitors when the user count is genuinely high relative to data volume; a small team with heavy data needs may find a per-seat platform cheaper.
The visual builder and DataPages approach is less suited to complex multi-step business process automation than platforms built around workflow engines, such as Appian or Mendix.

ToolJet

Free and Pro tiers cap end users at 50, which may be too low for apps needing broad internal distribution.
Enterprise pricing starts at a steep $3,000/month, a large jump from the $199/month Team plan.
AI credits reset monthly and do not roll over, penalizing uneven month-to-month usage.
Smaller integration and community ecosystem than more established players like Retool.
