How we grade them
| 3.6GPAReplitExcellent | 3.2GPARocketVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BCore is $18 a month billed annually, or $20 monthly, about what AI app builders usually charge. It comes with $20 of monthly credits, unlimited published apps and up to 5 builders on one plan. Power and Max mode work is billed by effort, and past your credits it's pay-as-you-go. | BPro is $25 a month, or 20% less on yearly billing, which is about typical. It gives 100 credits a month and unlimited team members on one flat fee, which is kind to teams. Full Solve reports and competitor Intelligence need the Rocket plan at $50. |
| Free plan and trial | BStarter is free, with Agent chat, Free Mode and Lite build. But there's a daily cap, no connectors and no Plan Mode, and your one published app comes down after 30 days. Good for a look, not for keeping something live. | CThe Free plan is 20 credits, once, with no time limit and no card needed. They don't refill, so it's a trial more than a plan. Custom domains and downloading your project as a .zip need a paid plan too. |
| Features | AAgent builds, debugs and reworks an app from chat. A PostgreSQL database, file storage, sign-in and custom domains are built in, with no API keys to set up, and publishing is one click. It makes web apps and native iOS and Android apps, and Core adds slide decks and animated videos. | ABuild makes a Next.js web app or a Flutter app for iPhone and Android, which you change by chat, visual editing or in the code. More than 26 connectors cover payments, databases and email, and code syncs to GitHub. Solve and Intelligence add research reports and daily competitor briefs. |
| Ease of use | A4.7 from about 21,100 App Store ratings. You describe the app and Agent builds it, with the database and hosting already sorted, so there's nothing to wire up. | BDescribe the app in chat, then change it by chat, by visual editing or in the code view. Web apps go to a staging URL before they go live. We have no App Store rating on record for it, so a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android. Connectors reach Google Drive, Gmail, GitHub, Linear and Jira, though most need a paid plan. One gap: the mobile app builds websites and web apps, and a native iOS project has to be started on the web. | AWeb, iPhone and Android are all listed. It connects to GitHub, Supabase, Stripe, Figma, Netlify, Notion, Linear and Airtable, and the docs list more than 26 services you can wire into an app from a prompt. |
| Best for | building, hosting and publishing in one place | market research and the app build in one place |
