Anything vs Vibecode

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

Vibecode

• Building an iPhone app from a phone or browser without owning a Mac
• People who want a native Swift codebase for iOS
• Makers who want AI usage billed at provider rates

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.

Vibecode

• The Free plan's $2.50 in credits is a one-time grant, and it excludes database and auth, App Store submission and code download.
• Downloading source code and SSH access need Pro at $50 a month or Max.
• Native Swift projects run on Apple devices only; reaching Android needs a React Native project.
• Vibecode calls its pricing tiers experimental and says tier limits may change at any time.

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.

Vibecode

Swift, React Native or web projects

Each project is a native Swift and SwiftUI app for iPhone and iPad, a React Native and Expo app for iOS and Android, or a web app, chosen when the project is created.

Build from a phone or a browser

Apps are built by prompting in the iOS or Android app or on the web. Native iOS projects compile on cloud Macs and stream from a cloud simulator, so no Mac is needed.

Vibecode Cloud backend

A single prompt adds a database, authentication and file storage. Vibecode Cloud is available on Plus and above, and Supabase or Firebase can be connected instead.

App Store submission

A built-in wizard builds, signs and uploads an app to the App Store without opening Xcode. It needs a paid plan and an Apple Developer membership ($99 a year).

Wholesale credit pricing

Vibecode states that $1 of credits buys $1 of AI usage at the providers' rates, with no markup. Unused credits roll over while a plan is active.

Code export and SSH

Pro and Max can download the full source project, such as an Xcode project for iOS apps, and connect over SSH to keep working in an editor like Cursor.
