Best for web, mobile and backend code kept in your own GitHub
Appifex generates web, native iOS and Android and backend code from a description, and keeps it all in a repository in your GitHub account. The free plan gives 1,000 credits a month, but native Apple builds and hosting need Pro, credits do not roll over, and Max jumps to $200.
Who Appifex is for
- Fits if you want the code in your own GitHub from the start
- Works for people building a web and a native app against one backend
Who Appifex is not for
- Skip it if you want native Apple builds or managed hosting for free, as both start at Pro
- Tight if you plan to save credits, as monthly credits do not roll over, and only top-ups do
- Pricey if you build full apps often: Max is $200 a month for 100,000 credits
- Watch out: how far a plan goes depends on usage, with a floor of about 25 credits per small change
Why Appifex gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPro is $20 a month for 5,000 credits, the middle of the category, and Max is $200 for 100,000. Prices shown are monthly, and no yearly amount was seen.
- BFree plan and trial1,000 credits a month with no card. A small change costs about 25 credits, so that is dozens of edits, but not a full app a month.
- BFeaturesWeb, mobile and a FastAPI and Postgres backend together, auth, error fixing and an editor, with code in your GitHub. Nothing in the listing shows a gap, only plan gates.
- CEase of useA web app where you build by describing. No store rating on record.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb builder that makes web, iOS and Android apps, with GitHub, Stripe, RevenueCat, Vercel, Railway, Claude Code and Codex.

Keep Appifex, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Appifex you would be making a tool that builds and hosts other apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 67 of the 89 other AI app builders we grade. It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, GitHub, Stripe and RevenueCat among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Appifex’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Appifex?
Appifex generates web, native iOS and Android, and backend code from a written description. The output is a single repository kept in the user's own GitHub account, with a FastAPI backend and a PostgreSQL database for each project. Plans are sold as monthly credit allowances that meter the AI work.
Worth knowing
- Monthly credits do not roll over; only purchased top-up credits do.
- Native Apple Swift builds and managed Cloudflare hosting start at Pro.
- The pricing page shows a Save 20% yearly toggle but no yearly dollar amounts in its text, so the listed prices are monthly.
- A small change costs close to a 25-credit floor and a full app costs more, so how far a plan goes depends on usage.
Key features
- Web, mobile and backend together
- A prompt produces a React web front end, a React Native and Expo mobile app, and a FastAPI backend in one monorepo.
- Native Apple apps
- Native SwiftUI apps for iPhone, iPad, Watch and Vision Pro are generated on Pro and Max.
- Database and authentication
- Each project gets its own PostgreSQL database, built-in user authentication, and payments through Stripe and RevenueCat.
- Automated error fixing
- A fix agent runs up to five QA and repair cycles per build, and the pricing page says these are not billed.
- GitHub repository and code editor
- Code is committed to a GitHub repository in the user's account, with an interactive code editor, CLI support and access to Claude Code and Codex.
- Import from other builders
- The About page says an existing project from Lovable, Bolt or Replit, or any GitHub project, can be brought in.
