RapidNative vs Rork (2026): which should you pick?

Pick RapidNative if

• Fits if you want a phone-app prototype from a sketch or description
• Works for founders who want React Native code they can take over

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: 20 credits a month and 5 screens a project
• Not for you if you want private projects free, as they start at Starter
• Watch out: code export, private projects and team features begin at $20 a month
• Watch out: Git integration is listed as coming soon
• Pricey if you want store publishing: it goes through LetsDeployIt, a separate flat-fee service

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

RapidNative

• The free plan stops at 20 credits a month, 5 screens a project and no code export; projects there are public by default.
• Code export, private projects and team collaboration start at Starter ($20 a month).
• Git integration is listed as coming soon on every plan.
• Publishing to the App Store and Google Play goes through LetsDeployIt, a separate flat-fee service.

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; extra credits on a paid plan cost $0.22 each.
• The iPhone app lists Swift and web projects only; Android projects do not appear in it.

RapidNative

Prompt, sketch, image or spec input

Describe an app in text, sketch it, drop in a screenshot or upload a product requirements document, and the builder generates the screens.

React Native and Expo code

Output is standard React Native with Expo and Nativewind styling. The vendor says you own the code; export and the in-browser code editor start on the Starter plan.

Point-and-prompt editing

Select an element on a screen and describe the change you want, and the AI edits that part of the code.

Backend included

Every project gets a Postgres database, authentication and file storage, and can be pointed at your own Supabase project from the settings.

Phone preview

Scan a QR code to run the app on a phone through Expo Go while you build, without Xcode or Android Studio.

Store publishing and screenshots

A connected paid service, LetsDeployIt, submits apps to the App Store and Google Play, and Appshots designs store screenshots using the same credits.

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.
