The short version

  • Only Volnyn has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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.; Volnyn website creation sits on Pro Max, not the entry paid tier, so the feature most buyers arrive for is on the second plan up.
  • They diverge on capability: OutSystems covers Visual application modelling, Volnyn covers AI website builder.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 15 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.

Volnyn

  • Website creation sits on Pro Max, not the entry paid tier, so the feature most buyers arrive for is on the second plan up.
  • Everything is metered from one credit balance, which makes the monthly cost a function of usage rather than a number you can budget. A few AI videos at 100 credits each consume a meaningful share of a Pro allowance.
  • Prices are published in UAE dirhams only, so buyers elsewhere carry the conversion and any card fees on top.
  • The product surface is unusually broad for its size, spanning site building, apps, documents, media generation, browser automation, a freelancer marketplace, a property portal and games. Depth in any one of those is harder to assume than it would be for a focused tool.
  • No founders, leadership or company history are published, and the stated address is a large shared office building, so there is little to verify the operation behind the product against.

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.

Volnyn: Is Volnyn free?

There is a free plan, and it is gated by credits rather than by time. Chat costs 5 credits a message, an AI image 50 and an AI video 100, so the free tier is usable for evaluation rather than for running a site.

Source
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.

Volnyn: What does Volnyn cost?

Pro is AED 33.05 a month or AED 27.43 billed yearly for 5,000 monthly credits. Pro Max is AED 55.09 monthly or AED 45.72 yearly for 7,000 credits and adds AI website creation. Enterprise is AED 146.86 monthly or AED 121.90 yearly for 9,000 credits.

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.

Volnyn: Which plan do I need to build a website?

Pro Max. AI website creation is listed on that tier at 10 credits per website, so the cheapest paid plan does not include the site builder itself.

Source
Volnyn: How do Volnyn credits work?

One balance covers everything. Credits arrive monthly with your plan, roll over if unused, and can be topped up on demand. Each action has a published cost: 5 credits a chat message, 50 an image, 100 a video, 10 a website.

Source
Volnyn: Can Volnyn build mobile apps?

Yes, it lists an app builder covering iOS and Android alongside the website builder, drawing on the same credit balance.

Source
Volnyn: What is the Volnyn browser agent?

A Chrome extension published as Volnyn AI Browser Agent that drives a browser to carry out tasks on your behalf, separate from the site builder.
