FAQ

FAQ

In case you missed anything

In case you missed anything

We're here to answer all your questions.

How is BuildAvelo different from Windsurf?

Windsurf is an AI-powered code editor — it helps developers write code faster. BuildAvelo is a no-code AI app builder — it builds the entire app from a description. With Windsurf, you write code with AI assistance. With BuildAvelo, you describe what you want and AI handles requirements, design, code, and deployment.

Do I need coding experience to use BuildAvelo?

No. BuildAvelo is designed for people with zero coding experience. You describe what you want, and our AI agents handle everything. You can iterate by chatting — just say what you want changed. No IDE, no terminal, no config files.

Can BuildAvelo deploy to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. BuildAvelo builds native mobile apps and deploys directly to the Apple App Store and Google Play — all from the browser. No Xcode, Android Studio, or manual build process required. Windsurf can help you write mobile code, but you handle the build and submission process yourself.

Does BuildAvelo include a backend?

Yes. Every BuildAvelo app comes with BuildAvelo Cloud — a full backend with database, auth, storage, and edge functions. It's included on all plans, including Free. With Windsurf, you'd set up and configure a backend service separately.

How does the pricing work?

BuildAvelo offers a free plan that lets you build one project and deploy as a web app. Paid plans start with Core ($500/mo); Starter ($999/mo) and above include mobile deployment to app stores and additional credits for AI generation.

Does BuildAvelo offer a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 1 project, 2 daily AI credits, web deployment, and BuildAvelo Cloud backend. No credit card required.
