OutSystems is an enterprise low-code platform: visual modeling, its Mentor AI, and governed deployments for large IT teams. Luna Park is a visual IDE for full-stack web apps, compiled to Vue and Node.js code you host anywhere, at a fixed price.

Example: a waitlist form
Visitors enter their name, email, and favorite ride, and get a ticket number.
Luna Park
- Place the fields and a button, each field bound to a variable.
- On click, a graph sends the variables to a backend route and shows the ticket.
- The route inserts a row in the
Waitlisttable and returns its id.
OutSystems
- Create a
WaitlistEntryentity with an auto-number id. - Add a screen with a form bound to a local variable.
- On save, a client action validates the form and calls a server action that creates the entry.
- Show the returned id on the screen.
Code export
Luna Park compiles every project to plain Vue and Node.js, which you download with Pro. OutSystems documents a detach process that turns OutSystems 11 apps into .NET and React code, tied to leaving the platform.
Other differences
- Pricing. OutSystems is priced on quote, from application objects and end users. Luna Park has public, fixed prices, whatever the size of the app or the number of users.
- Scale of the organization. OutSystems brings governance, compliance options, and SLAs for large IT departments. Luna Park targets teams that want to move fast and keep standard code.
- Stack. Luna Park apps are Vue, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, which any web developer knows.
Which one to choose?
Luna Park
- You want public, fixed pricing.
- You want standard code from day one.
- You are a team, not an enterprise IT department.
OutSystems
- You need enterprise governance, compliance, and SLAs.
- You need on-premises or sovereign deployment.
- You want a vendor with a long enterprise track record.
Before switching
- Luna Park has no enterprise governance suite or SLAs today.
- Until managed hosting launches in late 2026, you host the backend.
