Anyone can start an app. The question is what finishes.
Every builder in this category will produce something that looks right in the first ten minutes. Here is where they differ afterwards — checked against what each one publishes, with the dates we checked.
The three that actually matter
You are not charged when we get it wrong. Every change has to pass our checks before you see it. When it does not, fixing it is our problem — it does not come off your balance and it does not count against your monthly limit. That is enforced in our accounting, not written down in a policy somebody has to remember.
It has to run in a real browser before you see it. Not “the code looks right” — actually opened, actually loaded, and checked for what a visitor would see. The most common way AI-written work fails is a page that returns perfectly and then shows an error to the person looking at it, and reading the code never catches it.
A real Android app, in the Play Store, under your own account. Not a website that looks like an app on a phone. Your own Google Play account, which stays yours — Google charges $25 once to open one, and we add nothing to that.
Side by side
Each column says what that company publishes on its own site, with the date we last read it. Where a page does not answer a question, we say so rather than guessing.
Who pays when the AI gets it wrong?
BooDoo
We do. If our own checks reject what we made, fixing it is free — it does not come off your balance and it does not count against your monthly limit.

Can you describe your app in your own language?
BooDoo
Yes. Write in Hindi and the plan, the progress, the version names and the notices all come back in Hindi. Same for whatever else you write in.

Where we are not the right choice
A comparison written by one of the companies in it is worth reading only if it is willing to lose. These are the reasons to pick something else.
- We are not the cheapest. If price is the deciding factor, the others start lower and we would rather you knew that here than found it out later.
- There is no iPhone version yet. The phone app we build for you is an Android app.
- This is early software with no uptime guarantee. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose.
- If you want to write the code yourself, this is the wrong shape of tool — it is built for people who would rather describe the thing than build it.
What we have not finished yet is written out in full on our trust page, including the parts that are inconvenient to admit.
The fastest way to settle this is to build something.
You get free credit to start, no card and no invoice. Describe the app your business needs and see what comes back.
