Prices change, so confirm with Youware before buying. ## Ways to pay less - **Save 17% with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The pricing documentation says yearly plans give the same credits, distributed monthly, for 17% less than monthly billing; no yearly price is shown. Source: https://docs.youware.com/introduction/plans-and-pricing.md ## Key features - **Prompt-based project creation:** Describe a site or app and the AI generates and publishes it; chat, visual editing and a code editor (for subscribers) refine it. - **Multi-model switching:** Choose among several AI models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Moonshot and Z.ai, trading cost against capability per task. - **YouBase backend:** A built-in backend with user login, a database, file storage and secrets management. It is not available on the free plan. - **Credit Care:** Rewind a result that did not meet your needs and get the credits back, within a monthly allowance that grows on paid plans. - **Figma, GitHub and Supabase connections:** Connect Figma designs, GitHub repositories or a Supabase backend so the AI can work with them in a project. - **Mobile app and remixing:** iOS and Android apps let you create and edit projects from a phone, and any public project can be remixed into your own workspace. ## Good for - Non-coders who want a published web project from a prompt - Hobbyists who like remixing other people's projects - Solo builders who want database and login without extra services ## Worth knowing - Code download, code editing, custom domains and YouBase need a paid plan. - Private projects are only on Ultra ($200 a month); on Free, projects appear in the community. - Credit top-ups are sold only to yearly subscribers. - The vendor's own subscription page was blocked, so prices come from its documentation; yearly billing is stated as 17% less. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. YouWare builds web projects from a prompt and has iOS and Android apps. The free plan is trial credits and 5 projects, code download, code editing and custom domains need a paid plan, and private projects need Ultra at $200 a month. - **Value for money: C.** Pro is $20 a month, exactly the category's middle. Yearly billing is stated as 17% less. - **Free plan and trial: C.** The free plan has trial credits only, up to 300 daily credits a month, and 5 projects. Projects on Free show up in the community. - **Features: C.** Prompt-to-project, several models, a backend called YouBase and Figma, GitHub and Supabase links. Code download, editing, custom domains and the backend need a paid plan. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the work is describing the project and fixing what it makes. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iOS and Android with six integrations listed. No desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from YouWare's own pages on 13 November 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 39 of the 89 other AI app builders grade higher. It costs $240 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A tool that builds and hosts other apps. - You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Figma, GitHub and Supabase among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Figma, GitHub, Supabase, Notion, Google Maps, YouTube **Tags:** App builder, AI features, Databases, Templates ## Alternatives - [Lovable](https://toolgpa.com/tools/lovable): Chat-based AI builder for full-stack web apps and websites.
