Enterprise low-code application platform, acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1B in 2019. Positioned as the alternative to Airtable Enterprise and Microsoft Power Apps for large orgs building internal tools. Distinctive for compliance features (HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR) that Airtable lacks and for pricing per app rather than per record. Pricing opaque, typically $600+/user/month for Team plan (minimum 20 users). Vista-owned — expect margin work.
Enterprise work platform, taken private by Vista Equity + Blackstone for $8.4B in 2023. Positioned as the alternative to Excel + Asana for enterprise operations teams that need spreadsheet-like flexibility with permissions and audit trails. Distinctive for its dominance in construction, IT ops, and manufacturing verticals. Priced $9-$32/user/mo publicly, but real enterprise deals run $25K-$500K+ ARR. PE-owned — expect margin work at renewal.
