App development platforms like Betty Blocks are allowing business users to develop ideas and build quickly without needing to code. Because of the platform’s ease of use, a professional developer's coding skills are not needed on every project.
AppSheet
When it comes to ease of use, both Betty Blocks and AppSheet are strong contenders. If you have experience in the tech world, AppSheet is perfectly understandable. If you’re new to developing and platforms like these, AppSheet takes a bit of time getting through the learning curve.
AppSheet is a platform for building simple applications swiftly. They don’t have a strong proposition for the Citizen Developer, which closes the gap between the business and IT, making it less relevant for enterprise environments and solving the developer shortage.
Betty Blocks
Betty Blocks offers flexible and competitive pricing to suit a variety of business needs and to help you best leverage your company’s resources. We base our pricing on the number of users but ensure your applications are fully supported without incurring extra costs.
Betty Blocks doesn't include a tiered system for the platform that limits access to features. Neither does it base their pricing on the amount of app users. Instead, every user has full access to the entire our entire offering from the start. Read more about the pricing plan here.
AppSheet
AppSheet’s pricing is based on the number of end-users for the applications. Pricing starts at just $5 per month for a premium account. For applications with very few users, this is great news. However, if the userbase increases, prices go up fast. The same expense reporting application would be 50x more expensive with AppSheet’s pricing model based on 5,600 users, costing over €650,000 a year.
The price for your application can vary widely, depending on the complexity and number of users for both platforms. Run the numbers so you’re sure you’re making a calculated decision.

AppSheet
Because AppSheet's visual application builder is hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud, the infrastructure inherits the information security baselines and standard operating environments of Microsoft Azure.
However, enhanced security is only available on the ‘pro’ and ‘business’ plans. Automatic platform updates aren’t available for all applications. In some cases, you need to update manually.
