rork | Rork | Chat-to-app builder aimed squarely at the App Store. | https://rork.com/ | ai-mobile | react-native-expo | React Native on Expo. A second product, Rork Max, launched February 2026 and generates native Swift for the Apple platforms instead. | yes | Reported to sync to GitHub and export the React Native source at no cost, including as the fallback when the one-click publish fails. | builder-assisted | true | 20 | Read off rork.com/pricing in a browser on 2026-08-15: a $0 tier that is design mode only (35 design credits/month, max 5/day), Rork Pro at $20/mo for Expo, Android and web with 100 credits/month, and Rork Max at $200/mo for iOS, iPad and Apple Watch with 1,000 credits/month. The four-plan $25–$200 ladder a January thir... | ships-with-caveats | Produces a real Expo binary and markets App Store shipping as the headline outcome, and the export path means a failed one-click publish is recoverable rather than terminal. The caveat is that the strongest claims here are the vendor’s own marketing and third-party reviews rather than a submission-record document — and... | ["4.2"] | 1 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.863+00:00 |
vibecode | Vibecode | Prompt-to-app with a documented App Store hand-off. | https://www.vibecodeapp.com/ | ai-mobile | react-native-expo | React Native on Expo. Builds are compiled through Expo Launch rather than on your machine. | unknown | The deployment documentation does not mention source export, a GitHub push, or code download. Treat code portability as unestablished until the vendor documents it. | you-submit | null | 20 | Plus is $20 /month, and that tier is the one carrying "App store submission". The figure is only readable in a rendered browser: the pricing page serves its plan grid client-side, so the delivered HTML carries the monthly/annual toggle and the wholesale-credit explanation and no tier figure at all. Read with a real bro... | ships | The clearest documented path in the catalogue. Vibecode’s own deployment page requires you to hold the $99/year Apple Developer Program membership and sign the agreements yourself, which is exactly the arrangement guideline 4.2.6 asks for — the app is submitted by the party whose content it is, not by the generator. It... | ["4.2"] | 2 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
a0-dev | a0.dev | YC-backed React Native generator with a hands-on support path. | https://a0.dev/ | ai-mobile | react-native-expo | React Native previewed through Expo Go. Native modules that are not bundled into the preview client will not run in preview. | unknown | No source-export policy was found in material that could be read. Unestablished. | builder-assisted | false | 20 | Paid from $20/month (Pro, or $204/year), rising through Pro 250 at $50, Pro 500 at $100, Pro 1000 at $200, Pro 1500 at $290, Pro 2500 at $450 and Pro 5000 at $800. A separate Max plan sits at $200/month ($2,040/year) with a 1,250 daily limit. The tiers differ by daily and monthly generation limits rather than by featur... | unknown | No document, listing or dated report was found that establishes what happens when an a0.dev app is submitted. The team is described as helping users get to the App Store, which is an intention rather than a record. This row stays unknown until there is something citable — a builder with no evidence is not the same as a... | [] | 3 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
replit | Replit Mobile | Agent-built Expo apps with a guided submission walkthrough. | https://replit.com/mobile-apps | ai-mobile | react-native-expo | React Native and Expo, one codebase for both platforms. Device testing goes through Expo Go via QR code. | yes | The project is a normal repository on Replit and can be taken elsewhere. | builder-assisted | true | 20 | A free Starter tier (daily agent credits, one published project), then Replit Core at $20/month — $18/month if billed annually — and Replit Pro above it at $100 of monthly credit. Re-read on replit.com/pricing on 2026-08-15; the earlier $25 Core figure is no longer on the page. The paid tiers are denominated in monthly... | ships | Replit documents the arrangement that matters: it prepares the app and walks you through submission, but the Apple Developer account is yours and the binary goes through ordinary App Review. That keeps the submitter and the content provider the same party, which is the hinge guideline 4.2.6 turns on. The mobile product... | ["4.2"] | 4 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
bolt-new | Bolt.new | Generates the Expo project; the build happens on your machine. | https://bolt.new/ | ai-mobile | react-native-expo | React Native and Expo source. Bolt runs in a browser sandbox, so nothing native is compiled inside the product. | yes | Downloading the code is not a bonus feature here — it is a required step, because the build cannot happen in the browser. | you-submit | true | 25 | Free tier at $0 (300K tokens daily, 1M monthly, Bolt branding), then Pro at $25/month billed monthly and Teams at $30 per member per month. Yearly billing is advertised as saving up to 28%. Note that the EAS build the last mile needs is billed separately by Expo. | ships-with-caveats | Bolt’s own documentation is unusually plain about the shape of this: you download the code, open it in an editor, run `eas build --platform ios --auto-submit` yourself, then finish in App Store Connect. Nothing about that blocks review — the resulting binary is an ordinary Expo build submitted under your own account — ... | ["4.2"] | 5 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
lovable | Lovable | Superb at web apps. Does not produce a mobile binary. | https://lovable.dev/ | ai-web | web-only | Web applications, which can be made mobile-friendly. Lovable states plainly that it does not generate React Native projects. | yes | Projects can be pushed to GitHub as ordinary web codebases. | not-applicable | true | 25 | Free at $0/month, then Pro at $25/month with 100 monthly credits. Both figures are readable only in a rendered browser — the delivered HTML contains the plan headings and no amount. Read with a real browser profile on 2026-08-15. | blocked | Not a mark against Lovable — it is a statement about one question it never set out to answer. Lovable’s own FAQ says it builds web applications and does not generate React Native. Reaching the App Store therefore means wrapping the web app with something like Capacitor, and a wrapped web app is precisely the shape guid... | ["4.2","3.1.1"] | 6 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
flutterflow | FlutterFlow | Visual Flutter builder with real code export. | https://flutterflow.io/ | nocode-mobile | flutter | Flutter, compiled to genuinely native iOS and Android binaries. | yes | Code export and a GitHub push are documented product features. Note that exported code does not carry FlutterFlow-hosted services with it. | builder-assisted | true | 39 | Free tier at $0 for building and testing, then Basic at $39/month — the tier that unlocks source-code and APK download. Growth is $80 for the first seat and $55 for the second; Business is $150 for the first seat and $85 for seats 2–5. Annual billing is advertised at roughly 25% off. | ships | The most established row here by age. Flutter output is compiled native rather than wrapped web, so guideline 4.2 has nothing structural to catch, and the export path means you are never locked out of your own binary. The submission is made on your own Apple Developer account. The usual rejections reported against buil... | ["4.2"] | 7 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
adalo | Adalo | Long-running no-code mobile builder, publishes under your account. | https://www.adalo.com/ | nocode-mobile | react-native | React Native apps published to both stores. | no | No source export. The app lives on the platform; leaving means rebuilding. | builder-assisted | true | 36 | A free plan builds and fully tests an app (unlimited test apps, up to 500 records each) but does not publish; store publishing starts at $36/month on Starter. Adalo states it charges no usage-based or per-action metering on top. The Apple Developer Program ($99/year) and Google Play registration ($25 once) are separate... | ships-with-caveats | Adalo apps do reach the App Store, and Adalo publishes its own guidance on the rejections its users hit — which is more transparency than most of this catalogue offers. The named causes are guideline 4.2 minimum functionality, a missing privacy policy link, and generic metadata. The caveat that matters is the absence o... | ["4.2","4.2.6"] | 8 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
thunkable | Thunkable | Publishes straight to the store — and can unpublish too. | https://thunkable.com/ | nocode-mobile | react-native | Native builds produced by the platform. | partial | Code export is limited and deep customisation is reported as difficult. | builder-submits | true | 18 | Free tier (2,000 AI tokens, 3 public projects, 5 screens each), then Accelerator at $18/month billed yearly or $19 billed monthly. Publishing a live app is not on either of those: the first tier carrying "1 Live Published App" is Builder at $37/month yearly, $59 monthly, and Advanced at $99 yearly / $189 monthly lifts ... | ships-with-caveats | Thunkable will publish to the App Store for you, which is convenient right up until it is the problem: a generation service submitting on a client’s behalf is the arrangement guideline 4.2.6 names directly. The sharper practical risk is reported continuity — apps are unpublished from the store when a subscription lapse... | ["4.2.6","4.2"] | 9 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
draftbit | Draftbit | Visual React Native builder built around code export. | https://draftbit.com/ | nocode-mobile | react-native | React Native, designed visually and exported as a real project. | yes | Exporting the React Native source for custom development is the stated point of the product. | you-submit | true | 12 | A "Free Forever" tier at $0 (one sandbox at a time, 1-click publishing to the web), then Standard at $12/month, Pro at $24 and Team at $120. Editor seats are extra — $8/seat on Standard, $16 on Pro and Team. Yearly billing is advertised at 20% off. | ships-with-caveats | Structurally the safest position on this grid: you leave with the React Native source and submit it yourself, so nothing about the tool is between you and review. The caveat is evidentiary rather than technical — the sources found were comparison articles rather than Draftbit’s own submission documentation, and no date... | ["4.2"] | 10 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
median | Median.co | Wraps an existing web app as a native binary. | https://median.co/ | wrapper | web-wrapper | A native shell around your live web app, with native additions such as push notifications bolted on. | no | The wrapper is the product; there is no app source to take away. | builder-assisted | null | null | Not published for the entry tier. median.co answers a plain request for its pricing page with 403 and `cf-mitigated: challenge`, but the page itself is readable in a browser and publishes Business at $7,200/yr, with Enterprise at "contact us for pricing". The pricing page splits into Personal, Business and Organization... | ships-with-caveats | This is the category guideline 4.2 exists to police, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. A wrapper can clear review — plenty have — but it clears on the strength of the native capability layered on top and the depth of the underlying product, not on the wrapping.

goodbarber | GoodBarber | App builder that publicly polices its own 4.2.6 exposure. | https://www.goodbarber.com/ | nocode-mobile | react-native | Native app builds produced by the platform. | no | No source export. | builder-assisted | false | 30 | No free tier — a 30-day trial with no card, then paid. Three product lines price separately: the content and community apps start at $30/month, eCommerce at $40/month, and the agency/reseller programme at $215/month. | ships-with-caveats | Worth reading even if you never use it, because GoodBarber published the clearest vendor explanation of 4.2.6 anywhere: the developer account must belong to the app’s content creator, and the app has to add demonstrable value. The company describes running a review process to hold its own users to that. It is dated — J... | ["4.2.6","4.2"] | 12 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
catdoes | CatDoes | Takes someone else’s generated code the last mile. | https://catdoes.com/ | wrapper | react-native-expo | Imports an existing React Native project by URL or GitHub, runs the EAS build, signs the binary and submits. | unknown | Not established in material that could be read. | builder-submits | true | 17 | Free tier at $0 (25 credits, web deploy only, one public project), then Core at $17/month. iOS and Android deploys — the whole reason this row exists — first appear on Starter at $42/month. Above that: Plus $84, Pro $168 and Max $399, all denominated in monthly credits. Yearly billing is advertised at 16% off. | ships-with-caveats | Exists because Bolt and its peers stop short of a signed binary, and it solves that specific problem. The caveat is 4.2.6 again: a service that builds and submits on a client’s behalf is the arrangement the rule names, so the account the binary is submitted under is the thing to get right. Note also that most published... | ["4.2.6"] | 13 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
expo-eas | Expo + EAS (hand-written) | The control row.

Starter is $19/month and includes $45 of build credit; Production is $199/month with $225 of credit. Both are "+ usage" — past the included credit, builds are metered, so this is the one row on the grid whose real cost depends on how often you compile. | ships | Included as the baseline the rest of the grid should be read against. Most of the AI builders in this catalogue are a chat interface over exactly this pipeline, which is why the honest answer to "does an AI-built app pass review" is usually "yes, because it is an ordinary Expo binary submitted under your own account." ... | ["4.2"] | 14 | 2026-09-04T14:09:55.865+00:00 |
StoreReady: AI app builders and whether their output ships
One row per AI app builder: what it actually outputs, whether the source leaves the platform, whether it submits to the store for you, what it costs, and the review verdict on whether the App Store accepts what it produces.

How it is measured
Every verdict is attached to numbered evidence in the companion evidence dataset. A builder nobody has evidence for is published as unknown rather than given the benefit of the doubt.
What a citer needs to know
risk_guidelinesnames the App Review guideline clauses the output is exposed to, by number.- A verdict is about the output, not about the company. It moves when the output changes.
