Side by side

|---|---|---|
| Built for | Teams that want to model and work with their own data. | Teams that want a finished business app for a process, ready to run. |

| Workflows | Automations and interface buttons. Stages and approvals are built from fields and automations. | Stages, approvals, hand-offs and sign-offs are part of the app, with entry rules per stage, reminders when work sits too long, and rules in plain words. |
| Access control | Workspace and base roles, plus sharing per interface. | Roles and permissions down to a single field, audit history on every record, single sign-on on Enterprise. |
| AI | Omni, AI fields and agents inside workflows, with monthly AI credits on each plan. | Ask your app questions and get answers that cite the records they came from. AI on any object can fill in, summarise or check a field. |
