While Retool's subscription fees seem standard, the true cost skyrockets with DevOps overhead of self-hosting via a legacy on-prem deployment. Superblocks delivers superior data security through our hybrid On-Prem Agent—without the burden of maintaining complex on-premise infrastructure.

  • Lower Total Cost of Ownership

  • Simple On-Premise Deployments

  • Open & Extensible Platform with Zero Vendor Lock-In

“Superblocks vastly outperforms Retool when it comes to ROI and simplicity. Retool’s on-prem approach required juggling six RDS databases across three VPCs. In contrast, Superblocks lets us seamlessly build apps across multiple VPCs, saving us both time and resources.”
