Who it's not forPolished customer-facing consumer appsSmall teams that just need a risk register
PrivacyGoogle-backed platform; one high-severity SSRF/file-read CVE (Feb 2026) and recurring criminal abuse of its notification emails.⁸No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.13
Support qualityPublic frustration threads cite missing built-in helpDaily office hours offered; no review data
Public sentimentBuilders call it a powerful, practical no-code workhorse, but long-time users report steep learning curves, per-user cost gripes, and frustration with its direction.²No substantial independent user reviews surfaced; most sources are vendor pages, directories, or SEO listicles.16
Biggest gotchaPer-user fees balloon once apps roll out company-wide; budget before scalingNo published pricing; total cost only via sales call, likely annual contract.12
