Anything vs Blink (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Anything if

• Fits if you can't code and want a mobile app with payments and a backend from one tool
• Works for founders launching a subscription app on the App Store

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to try before you pay, as there's no free plan and no trial
• Watch out: subscriptions aren't refunded and annual payments are non-refundable; only failed generations get credits back
• Pricey if you want Max mode, parallel agents or automated testing, since that plan starts at $199 a month billed annually
• Skip it if Android is your main target, because Google Play publishing is still in beta
• Watch out: the docs warn that some built-in integrations may be temporarily unavailable

Pick Blink if

• Fits if you want an app with database and sign-in without setting up servers
• Makes sense if you can live within 30 free credits a month

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you build a lot, as Free is 5 credits a day and 30 a month
• Pricey if you want more, since credits are sold from $40 for 100
• Watch out: a custom domain and code download cost 5 credits each on Starter and Pro
• Watch out: code editing and GitHub need Pro, and App Store publishing needs Max

Anything

• There is no free plan for building: a paid subscription is required before the first app is generated.
• Subscriptions are not refunded and annual payments are non-refundable; credit refunds cover failed generations only.
• Max mode, parallel agents and automated testing need a Max plan, from $199 a month billed annually.
• Google Play publishing is in beta, and the docs warn that some built-in integrations may be temporarily unavailable.

Blink

• Credits are spent on AI work and bigger requests use more; the Free plan stops at 30 credits a month.
• Production hosting is paid from credits (50 a month covers up to 10,000 visits), and a custom domain or code download costs 5 credits each on Starter and Pro.
• Code editing, advanced AI models and Git on your own GitHub repo need Pro; credit rollover and App Store publishing need Max.
• Extra credits are sold as top-ups from $40 for 100 credits, and top-up credits do not expire.

Anything

Agent with selectable modes

Build by chatting with an agent that has Auto, Discussion, Plan, Thinking and Fast modes. Each mode uses a different amount of credits.

Mobile and web apps

The same agent builds iOS and Android apps for the app stores as well as web apps and websites. Mobile projects are previewed on a phone through Expo Go.

Built-in backend

Every project ships with a backend for functions and API routes, a PostgreSQL database, user accounts with sign-up and login, and file uploads.

Payments

Stripe handles payments in web apps and RevenueCat handles subscriptions and in-app purchases on iOS; the agent sets either up from a prompt.

Max mode

On Max plans the agent works autonomously: it builds, opens the app in a real browser, tests it like a user and fixes problems, with several agents in parallel.

Publishing and export

Web apps go live on Anything's hosting with custom domains on paid plans. Mobile apps are submitted through TestFlight, and code can be downloaded.

Blink

Web apps, websites and mobile apps

Describe what you want and Blink builds full-stack web apps, sites on your own domain, or iOS and Android apps.

Built-in backend

Every app gets a database, sign-in, a live web address with SSL, and version history, with payments and AI features available to add.

Blink Claw agent

An always-on AI agent hosted by Blink that answers customers and runs tasks. Included from the Starter plan up.

Code editing and GitHub

Pro and Max allow editing code inside Blink and connecting a GitHub repository. Code download is available on paid plans.

Templates and unlimited members

Start from one of 40+ templates. Every plan, including Free, allows unlimited team members, and viewers never use credits.
