Superblocks self-hosts only the data plane and meters AI in Governed Agent Units. ToolJet runs the whole platform on your infrastructure and lets your own coding agent build apps without credits.
Tencent, Swisscom, Duolingo, Gojek, Orange, Unity and hundreds more run internal tools on ToolJet.






Implementing ToolJet has been a massive accelerator for our internal operations. It allows us to rapidly build, deploy, and standardize mission-critical internal data apps and CRUD applications at a fraction of traditional development time.
Control plane, data plane and app definitions run on your infrastructure, air-gapped if you need it. Superblocks Hybrid keeps the control plane, your app definitions and Clark's inference in their cloud.
ToolJet AI is built in with no setup and runs on GPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok. Or let Claude Code or Codex compose the app over an MIT-licensed MCP server with no ToolJet credits. Superblocks' Builder MCP is a chat channel to Clark, so every build still burns GAUs.
A published price: $199 per builder. On Superblocks all three are Enterprise-only, and Enterprise has no published price.
Superblocks' Hybrid model is documented plainly: the data plane in your VPC, the control plane in theirs, connected outbound-only.
Hybrid runs your queries, not your platform.
Everything runs where you put it.
Superblocks does connect to AI tools. The question is whether your agent does the work, or whether it's a chat window into theirs.
Your agent talks to Clark. Clark builds.
Our agent, or the one you already use.
Superblocks meters AI in Governed Agent Units. Their own published figures, from the Superblocks docs: a header is 1 GAU, a navigation colour change 2, a Salesforce table and chart 4, a full sales dashboard 8.
100 GAUs a month is about twelve dashboards.
Credits you top up, or skip entirely.

Clark was announced on Claude Opus 4.6 in Feb 2026; Smart mode routes steps to frontier or open-source models behind the scenes |
| Bring your own LLM key | Enterprise: Anthropic, Gemini, Grok, OpenRouter; credits not consumed; cloud or self-hosted | Not for Clark, except inference through your own Amazon Bedrock on AWS Cloud-Prem. Deployed apps can use your own provider keys |

ToolJet is an open-source, AI-native platform for building internal tools, business applications, workflows and AI agents. The Community Edition is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and has over 40,800 GitHub stars and 650 contributors. It runs on ToolJet Cloud or self-hosted on Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premise or air-gapped. Apps can be generated by the built-in ToolJet AI on GPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok, composed by Claude Code or Codex over an MIT-licensed MCP server, or built visually with 78+ components and 100+ integrations. ToolJet is SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliant and is used in production by Tencent, Swisscom, Duolingo, Gojek, Orange, Unity, ClearScore, Bandwidth, Toss, Endeavour Group, ShareChat, YMCA NYC and hundreds of other organisations. Plans: Free; Starter at $29 a month; Pro at $79 per builder; Team at $199 per builder with SSO, audit logs, Git sync and white labelling; Enterprise from $3,000 a month with SCIM, multi-environment, custom data retention and a dedicated support manager.
Yes. ToolJet runs in production at Tencent, Swisscom, Duolingo, Gojek, Orange, Unity, ClearScore, Bandwidth, Toss, Endeavour Group, ShareChat and YMCA NYC, among others. It is SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliant. The Team plan includes SSO with SAML, OpenID Connect and LDAP, audit logs, Git sync, custom user groups and white labelling; Enterprise adds SCIM provisioning, multi-environment, custom data retention, air-gapped deployment and a dedicated support manager.
Not in the standard model. Superblocks Hybrid runs an on-premise agent, the data plane, in your AWS, GCP or Azure VPC, while the control plane, including configuration, orchestration, metadata, governance and permission checks, stays in Superblocks' cloud along with your application definitions and Clark's inference. The agent communicates outbound-only to that control plane, so a disconnected deployment is not possible. Enterprise customers can get AWS Cloud-Prem, a single-tenant deployment in your AWS account that Superblocks operates as a managed service. ToolJet runs the entire platform in your infrastructure on Free, Team and Enterprise.
Hybrid cannot: the on-premise agent must reach the Superblocks control plane over an outbound connection to function. The AWS Cloud-Prem documentation does not mention air-gapped or offline operation. ToolJet supports fully offline, air-gapped deployment, and ToolJet AI Enterprise lets the AI server run inside that boundary too.
Superblocks has two MCP servers. The Builder MCP lets you create, edit and publish apps from Claude, with Slack, ChatGPT and Teams planned, but it works by conversing with Clark, Superblocks' own agent, which does the building and consumes GAUs like any Clark session. The Admin MCP lets Cursor, Claude Code and Windsurf administer your organisation; it does not build apps and is listed as an Enterprise feature. ToolJet's MIT-licensed MCP server, packaged for Claude Code and Codex, exposes around 50 build tools so your agent constructs the app directly, with no ToolJet credits consumed.
Not the model. Superblocks exposes three execution modes, Max, Standard and Smart, and its docs state that customers do not need to manually select models: Superblocks handles model orchestration behind the scenes. Clark was announced on Claude Opus 4.6 in February 2026, and Smart mode routes individual steps to frontier or open-source models to cut cost. No bring-your-own-key option for Clark is documented, except Amazon Bedrock inference on AWS Cloud-Prem for Enterprise. Deployed apps can call your own provider keys through the App AI setting. On ToolJet you choose GPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok for the built-in agent on paid plans, Enterprise brings its own Anthropic, Gemini, Grok or OpenRouter key with no credits consumed, and ToolJet AI Enterprise runs the AI server inside your network.
A GAU is Superblocks' AI metering unit, consumed by every Clark interaction based on request complexity. The Teams plan includes 100 GAUs a month, and add-on packs are recurring monthly charges at $1 per GAU on annual billing or $1.25 on monthly, from 100 GAUs up to 2,500. All GAUs reset monthly. By Superblocks' published figures a full dashboard build costs 8 GAUs, a Salesforce table and chart 4, and a navigation colour change 2.
ToolJet includes credits per plan, 2,000 on the $29 Starter and 3,000 per builder on Team, with pay-as-you-go top-ups rather than a larger recurring subscription. Building through a coding agent over the MCP server consumes no ToolJet credits at all, and Enterprise customers with their own LLM key consume none either.
On ToolJet, all three are included on the Team plan at $199 per builder per month, with SAML, OpenID Connect, LDAP, Google and GitHub SSO. On Superblocks, SSO/SAML/OIDC, audit logs and source control are all Enterprise-only, and Superblocks does not publish Enterprise pricing.
On the entry price, yes: Superblocks Teams starts at $100 a month billed annually for up to 15 builders, against ToolJet Team at $199 per builder. But Superblocks Teams excludes SSO, audit logs, source control, secrets management and VPC deployment, includes one hosted app, and meters AI usage in GAU packs. The plans that clear a security review are ToolJet Team and Superblocks Enterprise, and only one of those has a published price.
No. The platform is closed source and proprietary. Only the on-premise agent is published. ToolJet's Community Edition is open source under AGPL-3.0 with over 40,800 GitHub stars and 650 contributors, and its MCP server is MIT.
Self-host the whole platform on the free Community edition, or start on cloud and move later. Either way, the app definitions are yours.
