Buying out-of-the-box OutSystems solutions typically works out cheaper than paying for bespoke development even though development in OutSystems is fast, in reality most software is complex and the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) goes up exponentially.
The main reason for rising TCO of OutSystems applications is that companies fail to muster the required patience and discipline to build a architecture that can handle change. Isn't it so that most companies buy LowCode to deliver software fast?
A very common effect in LowCode developoment is that companies are building their own legacy fast.
Re-using architectural knowledge and developed modules spread over several customers is giving the economy of scale benefits but also reuse best practice architectures. If you outsource development to a third-party company or use internal developers to create a program in either OutSystems or any other LowCode platform, your business has to bear all the costs, including increasing cost of change.
