How we ranked these
We compared each tool on what it builds, its backend (database and sign-in), code ownership, hosting and custom domains, and price, using each product's own pricing and documentation pages. Disclosure: BerryBell makes this roundup and ranks its own product first. Each entry says what that tool does best, so you can judge the fit for yourself.
BerryBell
Our pickPlain-language builds with backend and hosting included; code there if you ever need it.
Describe an app in plain English and a team of specialised agents (code, design, database, deploy, QA, debug) builds, tests and ships a full-stack app — with a Postgres database and hosting included, code you own, and end-user auth and custom domains on paid plans.
Very approachable chat-to-app.
A popular, polished chat-to-app builder. Great for quickly turning prompts into working web apps; its built-in backend (Lovable Cloud) provides a database, auth and storage, or you can connect your own Supabase.
Managed, no-setup platform.
An all-in-one AI app builder with a built-in backend — database, auth and hosting on every plan. Strong for shipping internal-style apps quickly on a managed stack.
No-code, though a visual builder to learn.
A mature no-code platform for full web and native mobile apps. It now pairs AI app generation and an in-editor AI Agent with its visual editor — powerful and flexible, though the editor takes time to learn.
