Where each one falls short

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

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.

Appsmith

  • The free cloud tier is capped at 5 users, 5 workspaces and 3 Git repositories
  • Workflows, custom roles and audit logs all require the Business plan at $15 per user per month
  • SAML and OIDC single sign-on need Enterprise, which starts at $2,500 a month with a 100 user minimum
  • Embedding an app privately is Enterprise only; the lower tiers embed publicly
  • Managed hosting is an Enterprise add-on rather than an included option
