Which one is for you
Pick Appifex if
- Fits if you want the code in your own GitHub from the start
- Works for people building a web and a native app against one backend
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want native Apple builds or managed hosting for free, as both start at Pro
- Tight if you plan to save credits, as monthly credits do not roll over, and only top-ups do
- Pricey if you build full apps often: Max is $200 a month for 100,000 credits
- Watch out: how far a plan goes depends on usage, with a floor of about 25 credits per small change
Pick FlutterFlow if
- Fits if you want a native mobile app without hand-writing it
- Makes sense if one person builds and a few testers try it
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 2 projects, 1 editor and no branches
- Pricey if you add people: extra seats are $55 on Pro and $85 on Max at monthly billing
- Watch out: AI usage is a shared allowance shown as a percentage, with refills on Pro and Max only
- Watch out: real-time collaboration needs Pro at $60 a month billed yearly

- The pricing page shows a Save 20% yearly toggle but no yearly dollar amounts in its text, so the listed prices are monthly.
- A small change costs close to a 25-credit floor and a full app costs more, so how far a plan goes depends on usage.
FlutterFlow
- The Free plan stops at 2 projects and 1 editor, with main branch only and no real-time collaboration.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
