Which one is for you

Pick Draftbit if

  • Fits if you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT and want to point it at an app builder
  • Works for one person shipping a small mobile app

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free: 1 open project and 20 agent runs a week
  • Watch out: iOS and Android publishing, custom domains and code export start at $12 Standard
  • Watch out: AI credits cost extra, from $5 for 1,000 credits
  • Pricey if you add teammates, at $8 a seat on Standard and $16 on Pro

Pick Rork if

  • Fits if you can't code and want a native app in the App Store or on Google Play
  • Works for developers who want AI-written Swift or Kotlin to carry on with in an IDE

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you're staying free, because the free plan designs screens but can't build, test or publish an app
  • Pricey if you want iPad, Apple Watch or Vision Pro apps, games or iOS widgets, which need Max from $200 a month
  • Tight if you test a lot, as iOS builds and simulator sessions are charged in credits on top of the message
  • Watch out: outside major markets the free plan drops to 5 design credits a month
  • Skip it if you want to build Android apps on your phone, since the iPhone app shows Swift and web projects only

How we grade them

2.4GPADraftbitFair2.8GPARorkGood
Value for money
B$12 a month on yearly billing, under the category's $16 cheap-quarter line, though the AI runs on your own subscription or paid credits.
CRork Pro is $20 a month, a notch above the $19 middle for builders here, for 100 credits with Build mode on iPhone, Android and web. Watch the metering: iOS builds and cloud simulator sessions cost credits on top of the message that started them. iPad, Watch and Vision Pro apps need Max, from $200.
Free plan and trial
CFree forever, but 1 open project, 5,000 one-time credits and 20 agent runs a week. Store publishing and export are paid.
CThere is a free plan and no card is wanted, but it's Design mode only: 5 design credits a day, up to 35 a month in major markets and just 5 a month elsewhere. It proposes screens and that's the lot — it cannot build, test or publish a working app.
Features
CVisual editor, templates, a Supabase backend marked beta, web, iOS and Android publishing and GitHub export on paid plans. The listing marks the backend as beta.
AIt covers the whole job and writes what its rivals don't: real SwiftUI for iPhone and Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for Android, not a cross-platform wrapper, plus React for the web and conversion between all three. It runs them on a cloud simulator, uploads to TestFlight and the App Store, and syncs with GitHub.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. A web builder where the work is building the app, and you bring your own AI subscription.
BNo rating on record. You describe the app, look over the screens it proposes, watch it run on a simulator beside the chat, then submit to the store from inside the product. The credit accounting for builds and simulator time is the fiddly part.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb editor that publishes to web, iOS and Android, with Supabase, GitHub, Claude Code and OpenAI Codex connections.
BWeb plus an iPhone app, and that app lists Swift and web projects only, so Android work stays in the browser. No Android or desktop app for building. It connects to GitHub, Supabase, Firebase, RevenueCat, TestFlight and Xcode.

    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.

    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.
