The short version

  • Each has a real cost: OutSystems application Objects grow with every screen, table and API an app gains, so a successful app that keeps adding features can push the account into AO overage charges that were not modelled at initial budget time.; Superblocks teams plan is limited to just 1 hosted app by default, with additional apps costing $10/app/month.
  • They diverge on capability: OutSystems covers Visual application modelling, Superblocks covers Clark AI agent.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

OutSystems

  • Application Objects grow with every screen, table and API an app gains, so a successful app that keeps adding features can push the account into AO overage charges that were not modelled at initial budget time.
  • Internal users are sold in packs of 100 and external users in packs of 10,000, so a company just over a pack boundary in either category pays for a full additional pack rather than a handful of extra seats.
  • Entry-level ODC pricing starts around 36,300 US dollars a year before any AO overage or extra user packs, which puts it out of reach for smaller teams evaluating low-code options.
  • Cloud infrastructure and hosting costs are frequently separate from the platform licence, so the all-in bill is higher than the headline subscription figure suggests.
  • Migrating a large application portfolio off OutSystems once built is difficult, since the generated code and platform-specific patterns are not designed for a clean export to standard frameworks.

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.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

OutSystems: What is an Application Object?

A unit OutSystems uses to measure application complexity, counting elements such as screens, database tables and exposed APIs; more AOs mean a bigger licence requirement.

Superblocks: What does Superblocks cost?

The Teams plan costs $125/month billed monthly or about $100/month billed annually, including 100 Governed Agent Units and up to 15 builders; Enterprise pricing requires booking a demo.

OutSystems: Is there a free tier?

OutSystems has offered free or trial tiers historically for evaluation, but production use at any scale runs on paid ODC plans.

Superblocks: Is there a free plan?

Superblocks does not offer a free ongoing plan but provides a free 14-day trial of the Teams plan.

Source
OutSystems: How does external user pricing work?

External users, typically customers or partners, are sold in packs of 10,000 at roughly a hundredth of the per-seat cost of internal (employee) user packs.

Superblocks: Who owns the code Superblocks generates?

Superblocks states that users fully own all code generated on the platform and can connect it to their own git repository.

Source
Superblocks: What deployment options does Superblocks offer?

Superblocks supports Cloud, Hybrid (production data kept in the customer's VPC), and Cloud-Prem (the full platform run inside the customer's environment) deployment models.
