Rork

About

Rork is an AI app builder for native iOS and Android apps and for web. Its site calls it a "cross-platform AI app builder for iOS, Android & web", and says you describe an app in chat and it helps you publish to the App Store and Google Play. As of November 2026 the documentation lists a free plan that allows design work only, and Rork Max from $20 per month with 100 credits. The pricing page says accounts created before 4 August 2026 can still see Rork Pro at $20 per month. It belongs with the app builders on our best vibe coding tools page and our best vibe coding apps collection. What Rork does • Three targets: the docs describe native iPhone apps in Swift, native Android apps in Kotlin and web apps in Vite and React. The homepage lists Rork iOS MAX for Swift apps on Apple devices, Rork Android and Rork Web. • Agent modes: Build is the default and edits the code directly. Plan lays out the work and changes no files until you approve. Design asks a few style questions and produces three or four screens as images before anything is built, using design credits. • Publishing: the docs say Rork builds and uploads your app on its own machines, so you do not need a Mac. The store steps still apply: Apple Developer membership at $99 a year and Apple's review, and a Google Play registration fee of $25 once, plus, for new personal accounts, a closed test with 12 testers for 14 days. • Web hosting: web apps publish to a rork.app address that you can rename, and you can connect your own domain, which needs a Rork subscription. The stack is a real Vite and React project in TypeScript with Tailwind, which you can export to GitHub. • Rork Cloud: a backend Rork creates and hosts, with a database, access rules and server-side functions. The docs say it is in beta and free while in beta. Transfer to your own Supabase is one-way. • Other products on the homepage: Rork Backend, Rork AI Cloud, Rork Games, an AI App Store Reviewer and Screenshot Studio. • Device testing: Rork Max, the iPhone app, needs iOS 18 or later, and the docs say access is rolling out to selected accounts. Rork Companion is a free desktop app for Windows and macOS that installs apps on an iPhone over USB. • Imports: the docs list import from GitHub, from Lovable and from other app builders. • Expo: the docs say you can no longer create Expo (React Native) projects in Rork, and existing Expo projects keep working. Pricing (as of November 2026) Prices are in US dollars from docs.rork.com. • Free: $0. Design mode only, with no build, publish or device testing. 5 design credits per day, with a monthly allowance of 35 credits in major markets or 5 elsewhere. No card required. • Rork Max: from $20 per month. Every option has the full feature set, including Build mode, iPhone, Android, web, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, native games, iOS widgets, private projects and Dev mode. The options are $20 for 100 credits, $200 for 1,000, $500 for 2,500, $900 for 5,000 and $1,800 for 10,000 credits a month. Paid plans have no daily cap. • Rork Pro: $20 per month, for accounts created before 4 August 2026 only, with 100 credits a month and no iPad, Watch, Vision Pro, games or widgets. • Rork Start: 649 rupees a month in India only, with 40 credits. • Top-up credits: $0.22 each. They do not reset monthly. Unused subscription credits do not carry over. Who it suits • Founders who want a native iPhone or Android app rather than only a website. • People who want to build, then publish to the stores from one tool. • Builders who want a hosted backend without setting one up. • Teams who want to import a project from GitHub or another builder. Limitations to know • Credit use varies by message, builds and simulator minutes, so monthly cost is hard to predict. • Store fees and review are separate from Rork's price. • Rork Cloud is in beta, and changes to it are live right away. • Web apps cannot be distributed through the app stores and lack native features such as widgets. • Rork Max device access is rolling out to selected accounts.
