Full Comparison
| Criterion | Quickbase | Rocket.new |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | From $35 / user / month Team is $35 and Business $55 per user per month, priced annually. Neither figure includes the platform minimum, a base charge on top of the per-user price. All users in an account must be on the same plan. Enterprise is quoted by Quickbase. | lower value Free tier; Pro $25 / month, Rocket $50 / month, Booster $250 / month Plans are monthly credit allowances of 20, 100, 250 and 1,500 credits. Credits never expire, and extra credits can be bought. |
| Free trial | 30-day free trial with the Business plan features | Free tier with 20 credits per month |
| Output | Custom operational applications with tables, forms, reports, dashboards, roles and workflow automation | Production-ready Next.js web apps and Flutter mobile apps |
| API | Yes, JSON REST APIs; the platform analytics API and solutions API are Enterprise only | Not stated |
| What it generates | Custom operational applications: tables and forms for the data, more than 13 report types and personalised dashboards, roles and permissions, and pipelines for workflow automation. Pave, the AI builder, takes a description of how the work happens today and constructs the application, including data structures with linked records, user roles and permissions, automation and hosting | Web apps, mobile apps, landing pages, dashboards and internal tools from a prompt, or from an imported Figma file |
| Stack and frameworks | There is no framework or language to choose. An application is assembled in Quickbase's own builder and runs on Quickbase's platform, and it is widened rather than swapped: more than 40 pre-built Pipelines integration channels connect it to other systems, and Quickbase Extensions, a paid package, adds document generation, e-signatures, SMS, email notifications and mapping to the same app | Next.js with TypeScript for web, Flutter with Dart for iOS and Android, chosen automatically by project type |
| Auth and database | Quickbase's own tables and linked records, with role-based permissions, encryption, audit logs and data classification. Single sign-on and SCIM provisioning arrive with the Business plan; restricting user creation to realm admins and managing token permissions is Enterprise | Yes, Supabase out of the box: PostgreSQL, storage, edge functions and Supabase Auth with email, social login and magic links |
| Hosting and deploy | Hosted by Quickbase, with the application ready to use once built. On-premise connectivity and data warehouse integrations are Enterprise features | Yes, one-click deploy to Netlify with staging and production environments; custom domains on paid plans |
| Payments | No payment collection or checkout of its own, and none is documented for the apps built on it: these are internal operational applications rather than customer-facing products. Money stays in the systems Quickbase connects to, through the financial software category among the 40+ pre-built Pipelines channels or through the JSON REST APIs | Yes, Stripe and Razorpay for checkout, subscriptions and one-time payments |
| Access to the code | Code pages let a builder add custom HTML, CSS or JavaScript to an app and surface it through a button, a hyperlink, a formula URL field or an iframe; JSON REST APIs cover programmatic access | Yes, download the project as a zip on Pro and above; two-way GitHub sync for Next.js projects |
| Deployment | Cloud (SaaS), Browser-based | Cloud (SaaS), Browser-based |
| Support | Email helpdesk, Community forum | Not stated |
| Onboarding | more entries Documentation and knowledge base, Video tutorials, Live online demos and webinars | Documentation and knowledge base |

The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
Quickbase
Strengths
- Pave builds a working app, data model and permissions included, from a description of the existing process
- Governance is part of the platform: roles and permissions, encryption, audit logs and data classification
- No-code connectors to Salesforce, Jira and ServiceNow, plus JSON REST APIs
- Code pages allow custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript where the no-code builder stops
- Quickbase states that customer data is not used to train the AI
Limitations
- The published per-user price excludes a platform minimum that is not published, so the real cost needs a quote
- AI capability beyond Pave, namely the AI agent, Data Analyzer and AI Actions, is a paid Intelligence Package add-on
- Single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, a sandbox and FDA and HIPAA compliance require the Business plan
- All users in an account must be on the same plan, so one requirement can lift the whole account a tier
- Platform analytics and solutions APIs are restricted to Enterprise
Rocket.new
Strengths
- Supabase database, storage and auth are connected from the start
- Stripe and Razorpay checkout without separate setup
- Credits do not expire, and extra credits can be bought
Limitations
- The framework is decided by project type, Next.js for web and Flutter for mobile
- Source code download needs a paid plan from Pro upwards
- Two-way GitHub sync covers Next.js projects only
