Caspio vs Stackby

Caspio is an AI platform for building custom business applications, including databases, portals, dashboards, and workflow tools. Its visual builder creates forms, reports, charts, and calendars; it can also generate an application's data model, interface, and roles from a description. Applications use a SQL Server data core with role-level and record-level security, and can be hosted by Caspio or deployed on a customer's website, CMS, or portal. The platform provides REST API access, webhooks, and extensions, and lists Zapier, Make, n8n, and Keragon as workflow integration platforms. Pricing plans include unlimited application users without per-user fees. Caspio says plans include encryption, role-based access controls, and secure cloud hosting. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Enterprise is described as providing governance, security, and guaranteed performance. HIPAA/Compliance is an add-on to a standard plan at $500 a year, billed for a one-year term; it includes compliant infrastructure, a signed BAA, encryption at rest, an audit trail, and 21-day backups. Caspio says it is annually certified for HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR, and lists PCI DSS Level 1 validation.
