AI app builder for full-stack web and mobile apps from templates
Which one is for you
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
Pick Vitara if
- Fits if you want to start from a ready-made template such as a CRM or HR app
- Works for people who want to try a React Native app before paying
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan to build on, as the credits are a one-time grant
- Tight if you are watching credits: Build is 100 a month and each change draws on them
- Pricey if you need Premium templates or team collaboration, both on Scale at $50 a month
- Watch out: the home page and the pricing page disagree on the free credits, 10 against 20
How we grade them
| 2.8GPARorkGood | 2.0GPAVitaraFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CBuild is $20 a month for 100 credits, the middle of the category. Scale is $50 for 250 credits, and the better templates sit on the dearer plans. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | CStarter is a one-time grant with no card needed, but the pricing page says 20 credits at 5 a day while the home page says 10. It is a taste, not a plan you can stay on. |
| Features | 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. | CChat-built apps with a database and API, plus a template library. Mobile apps are only previewed in Expo Go, and visual edits and code download are paid. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CA browser app where you build by chatting. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | CBrowser only. Its listing names Expo Go, React Native, Node.js and Python and not much else. |
| Best for | shipping a native app to the App Store | trying an app idea from a template and a chat |

Worth knowing

- 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.
Vitara
- The free Starter allowance is a one-time grant, and the homepage (10 credits) and the pricing page (20 credits, 5 a day) disagree on its size.
- Standard templates need the Build plan and Premium templates need Scale.
- Visual edits, code download and a custom domain are not on the free plan; team collaboration is listed only on Scale.
- Browser-based only; mobile apps are previewed through Expo Go rather than a Vitara mobile app.
Key features
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.
Vitara
- Templates as a starting point
- Complete starter apps with screens, backend, database and login, such as CRM, job portal, billing, HRMS, appointment booking and event ticketing.
- Chat-driven changes
- Each message updates the screens, API and database together, in plain language.
- Fullstack, frontend or mobile
- Choose a fullstack build with a Node.js or Python backend, a React frontend, or a React Native mobile app, previewed on a phone with Expo Go.
- Economy mode
- A switch that builds changes with a smaller, lower-cost model so each message uses fewer credits.
- Code download and ownership
- The vendor says you own your code and data; code download is a Build-plan feature and the app can be deployed elsewhere.
- Team collaboration
- Inviting teammates to build together is listed under the Scale plan.

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.
