I give the solution a seven out of ten. Betty Blocks can help speed up development time by five to ten times. However, this comes at a price. Costs are reduced in terms of development time, but with Betty Blocks, these costs are moving to the subscription fees. In the long term, it may be more cost-effective to use low-code to build a custom application than to go the low- or no-code way. I've made software for charities before, around the turn of the century in Windows with low code. It took me around two years to build. In Betty Blocks I was able to build the same software in about four months. So the speed gain in terms of development time is obvious. My experience has shown that if you are a software company that uses Betty Blocks to make solutions for mid-size customers, you need to be careful with the pricing. Customers may not be able to afford the solution. Other solutions, like Bubble, Xano, or Jet Admin, may be better suited, because they are much cheaper. This can allow for making a larger profit margin. When targeting corporate clients and big corporations that need software solutions, Betty Blocks is perfect. For smaller customers that we want to make solutions for, Betty Blocks is not ideal.
