Anything vs Rork

Anything

• Non-developers who want a mobile app with payments and a backend in one tool
• Founders launching subscription apps on the App Store
• Builders willing to pay more for an agent that tests and fixes its own work

Rork

• Non-developers who want to ship a native app to the App Store or Google Play
• Founders building subscription apps, with RevenueCat paywalls built in
• Developers who want an AI-written Swift or Kotlin codebase to continue in an IDE

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.

Rork

• The Free plan runs Design mode only: it proposes screens but cannot build, test or publish a working app.
• iPad, Apple Watch and Vision Pro apps, native games and iOS widgets need Rork Max, from $200 a month.
• iOS builds and cloud simulator sessions are charged in credits on top of the message that started them.
• The iPhone app lists Swift and web projects only; Android projects do not appear in it.

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.

Rork

Native iPhone, Android and web apps

The agent writes SwiftUI for iPhone, Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for Android, and React for the web, and can convert an app between the three platforms.

Design, Plan and Build modes

Design mode proposes screens and a look before any code exists, Plan mode writes a plan for review, and Build mode produces working code on paid plans.

Cloud simulator and device testing

Apps run on a cloud iOS simulator or Android emulator beside the chat. The Rork Max iPhone app installs and runs Swift builds directly on a phone.

Store publishing tools

Rork uploads iPhone builds to TestFlight and the App Store, generates an AAB for Google Play, and includes an AI App Store Reviewer and Screenshot Studio.

Rork Cloud backend

A hosted backend that the agent provisions when an app needs to store data. It is in beta and free during the beta; Supabase and Firebase are also supported.

GitHub sync and code access

A two-way GitHub sync exports the project, and an iPhone app can be opened in Xcode. Editing code by hand in dev mode needs a paid plan.
