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 pickDescribe the app and specialist agents build, test and deploy it, with a database and hosting included and code you own.
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.
Polished chat-to-app builder with a built-in backend and a large community.
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.
In-browser builds for JavaScript apps, with a database and auth on every plan.
An in-browser AI app builder by StackBlitz for JavaScript web apps (and Expo mobile apps); hosting, a Postgres database and auth are built in via Bolt Cloud, with Netlify or (on Pro and Teams) Supabase as alternatives.
UI-first: React/Next.js apps deployed on Vercel.
Vercel's AI agent for building Next.js apps — outstanding for React/Next.js interfaces and design-to-code, with one-click Vercel deploys and databases added through integrations like Neon or Supabase.
All-in-one managed platform for internal-style apps.
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.
Agentic builds aimed at production web and mobile apps.
A YC-backed agentic builder that takes a conversation through to full-stack web and mobile apps, generated on a React, FastAPI or Node.js and MongoDB stack.
If it's the code editor you'd miss: an AI agent inside a professional IDE.
An AI coding agent and code editor (IDE) for developers. On paid plans its cloud agents can start from just a prompt, save to a Cursor-hosted repo and publish through your own Vercel account, but it has no built-in database, end-user auth or app hosting of its own.
