The Rork Alternative That Builds Mobile Apps and Websites.
Same vibe coding workflow as Rork — describe your idea, AI builds it. BuildAvelo builds native iOS and Android apps and websites, with database, auth, storage, and one-click deploy to the App Store, Google Play, and the web. Free plan included.
2. AI Builds It in the Cloud
BuildAvelo runs on its own computer in the cloud — handling code, design, and backend. It can spin up subagents to work on different parts of your request in parallel. Close your laptop, it keeps building.
Mobile and web. One project.
Build a native iOS app, a native Android app, a website, or all three from a single BuildAvelo project. The agent works across them. Deploy them together or separately.
Turn any website into a mobile app.
Paste a URL — your own site, a Lovable project, a Shopify store, anything. BuildAvelo studies the site and ships a native mobile app that matches.
See every screen, on every device.
The multi-page canvas shows your whole app at once. Switch between iPhone, Pixel, iPad, laptop, and other sizes — or scan a QR code to test it live on your phone. No Expo Go required.
Edit the code. Own the code.
Open any file from the dashboard and edit it yourself. Export the full codebase anytime you want.
Start from any GitHub repo
Import your existing code and keep building with an AI agent. Push changes, open PRs, stay in sync with your team.
A cloud agent with its own computer
The AI agent runs in the cloud on its own computer. It installs packages, runs the tests, and fixes its own errors. You don't have to watch it work.

Rork's backend is in beta with serverless functions only — no built-in database, auth, or storage yet (per Rork's own FAQ). BuildAvelo Cloud includes all of these on every plan, including Free.
Postgres database, authentication, file storage, edge functions, and real-time events — included on every plan, including Free. US and EU regions. No Supabase setup, no Firebase config, no third-party billing. Your app gets a production backend from day one.

We're here to answer all your questions.
How is BuildAvelo different from Rork?
Both use vibe coding — describe what you want, AI builds it. Both build native iOS and Android apps. Beyond that: BuildAvelo also builds websites (one project for both — that's a v4.1 feature called monorepos), includes a full backend on every plan (Postgres database, auth, file storage, edge functions, real-time), runs an autonomous cloud agent that keeps working when you close your browser, deploys to Google Play and the web with custom domains, and includes built-in error monitoring (BuildAvelo Watch). Rork generates mobile app code; BuildAvelo ships the whole product.
Is there a free Rork alternative?
Yes — BuildAvelo's Free plan. You get 1 project, 25 one-time AI credits, web deployment, and a full BuildAvelo Cloud backend (database, auth, storage, edge functions). No credit card required. Rork's free tier exists too; BuildAvelo's free tier is materially more capable because it ships with the backend included.
Does BuildAvelo build websites?
Yes. As of v4.1, BuildAvelo builds websites and native mobile apps. You can build a website, a mobile app, or both in the same project (we call this monorepos). The agent works across all of them. You can deploy the website with a custom domain on every plan.
Does BuildAvelo deploy to Google Play and the App Store?
Yes — built-in on the Starter plan ($999/mo) and above. BuildAvelo handles the build and submission process. No Xcode, no Android Studio, no Expo CLI. Web deployment with custom domains is included on every plan, including Free.
Does BuildAvelo include a backend?
Yes. Every BuildAvelo app comes with BuildAvelo Cloud — a full backend with Postgres database, authentication, file storage, edge functions, and real-time events. US and EU regions. It works out of the box on every plan, including Free. No Supabase setup, no Firebase config, no third-party billing.
Does the AI agent work when I close my browser?
Yes. The Compose Agent runs in the cloud on its own machine. Give it a task, close your laptop, come back to a working app. It installs packages, runs scripts, tests builds, fixes its own errors, and can spin up subagents to work on different parts of your request in parallel. Rork's agent runs in your browser — close the tab and the work pauses.
Can I import my Rork project to BuildAvelo?
Yes. Rork is built on Expo and React Native — push your project's code to GitHub, then import the repo into BuildAvelo using "Import from GitHub" when you create a new project (Starter plan and above). The Compose Agent picks up where Rork left off, and you can keep building with a real backend, websites, custom domains, and one-click deploy to the App Store, Google Play, and the web.
Is coding experience required?
No. BuildAvelo is built for people with zero coding experience. Describe what you want, the AI agent handles the rest. If you do want to read or edit code, the file browser lets you open any file in the dashboard. Code export is available on Plus and above.
