Worth knowing
Fastshot
- The website publishes no dollar prices for the main builder; the docs name Free, Starter, Beginner and Pro plans, so pricing is recorded as unverified.
- Publishing is part of the paid plans; the docs say the Free plan shows Publish (Upgrade). Credits follow AI usage, so a full app costs more than a small change.
- Publishing needs the owner's own Apple Developer Program account ($99 a year) and a Google Play Console account ($25 one-time), per the docs.
- The pricing page on fastshot.ai now redirects to a separate Shopify-store app offer that is free to build and publish.
Newly
- There is no free plan; the FAQ says Newly starts at $25 per month.
- Credits are consumed by the work the agent does, so usage varies with the task, project and model.
- Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts are separate and paid by you, and developer accounts, domains and connected services cost extra.
- The site shows the monthly price on its default view; a yearly billing option exists, at $240 a year for the 100-credit step.

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.
