Your application objects within OutSystems are metered including tables, web screens and more – creating limits where customers may need to reduce business features to avoid compounding costs. On the other hand, Caspio’s flexible and user-friendly pricing model allows you to build the objects you need without breaking the bank.
OutSystems is also priced according to the number of internal and external end users. This becomes exponentially costly as an organization grows their account – and is significantly more expensive than Caspio’s ‘unlimited user’ pricing model.
OutSystems provides an open-ended canvas with artifacts, tools and interface models geared towards the expertise of seasoned developers and IT professionals. In contrast, Caspio offers a fully guided development experience with step-by-step wizards and easy-to-find elements.
OutSystems requires specialized knowledge in different runtime environments and complex workarounds to deploy on the customer’s own web property. With Caspio, you can custom-brand your public or internal apps and seamlessly embed them on any website, intranet or portal.
