What OutSystems is
OutSystems is a low-code platform for building web and mobile applications, including apps for iOS and Android. Its listed capabilities include a built-in database, user authentication, API integrations, and mobile publishing. The free-plan details describe two different use cases: Personal Edition provides a development runtime for test applications only, while Developer Cloud lists capacity for 100 internal users and one medium-sized production application, with 99.5% uptime. The listed app limit is one. OutSystems has a freemium model with a free plan, but no prices are given for either named plan. The platform is listed for web, iOS, and Android. It is intended for creating and publishing apps, rather than being a single-purpose mobile application. OutSystems was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
