Owner Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Powerful builder, but credits burn too fast" November 2, 2026 5.0 Draftbit is impressive for rapid prototyping — my Aura Habits app reached 90%+ completion. But wrong model guesses by the AI agent drained my credits fast. With better model handling and clearer credit transparency, it could be the best AI app builder. Pros I liked how fast the AI built my premium black-and-gold app — 12 screens, bottom tab navigation, Supabase tables, and environment variables were all set up quickly. My work stayed saved and the preview kept running. Cons My 5000 credits got depleted very quickly. The agent guessed retired or wrong Gemini model names (gemini-1.5-flash, 2.0-flash, 2.5-flash, then "3.8 Flash"), and every attempt returned a 404 while burning credits. It did not use a stable model alias like gemini-flash-latest from the start. Credit usage and free-credit tasks could be clearer. Review Source Eli E.

Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A Practical and Efficient App Development Experience" October 15, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Draftbit was positive. It made the development process faster and gave me a convenient way to build and iterate on an app. There was a learning curve for some advanced features, but overall it was a useful and productive platform. Pros What I liked most about Draftbit was how quickly I could turn an idea into a working app. The visual development experience made it easy to build and iterate without spending too much time on repetitive setup and coding. Cons The main thing I liked least was that some more advanced customizations required additional technical work. For simple projects it was very convenient, but more complex features could take some extra time to implement. Review Source Verified Reviewer Director Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Powerful AI-assisted app building, but credit usage needs more transparency" October 9, 2026 4.0 My overall experience with Draftbit has been positive. I’ve been able to build a real working mobile app for my RallyMW padel project, including authentication, Supabase integration, court availability, bookings and separate player and club-owner areas. The AI agent has been particularly useful for implementing features that would otherwise require much more coding knowledge. The main challenge has been the credit system, as larger or repeated agent tasks can use credits faster than expected. I’ve also found that manual testing is important, even when the agent reports that a task has been completed successfully. Pros Draftbit has allowed me to build a real mobile app despite not being an experienced developer. The AI agent has been particularly useful for turning ideas into working features, and the Supabase integration has allowed me to build proper authentication, database functionality and secure booking workflows. I also like that I can see and work with the underlying code rather than being completely locked into a no-code platform. Cons The biggest frustration has been the AI credit system. Some tasks have consumed significantly more credits than expected, particularly when the agent needs to inspect a large project or make several iterations. It can also be difficult to know in advance how many credits a task will use. There have also been occasions where I needed to manually test and correct things that appeared to work in the agent's tests. Review Source R Reviewer Data Orch. Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Draftbit Experience" October 7, 2026 5.0 I've been using my own agent for app development for about 3 weeks now, and I'm using a pro account and actively developing. Lately, I've been especially trying Draftbit credits and it's doing a better job. I recommend it to anyone who wants to develop apps; the screen tracking is especially easy. For example, I'm a data engineer by background, and even so, I haven't encountered any errors in backend design. I recommend it to everyone. Pros Being able to design the backend architecture in parallel makes things much easier and simplifies tracking backend tasks resulting from any prompt; the screens are quite intuitive and manageable. Since I don't own a tablet or have access to an Android device, I frequently use the simulator. Cons I think it would be better if the SQL queries within Draftbit could be constructed on a clearer screen. Review Source Azam H. ceo Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy App build" October 5, 2026 5.0 I am very happy to use this because i do not come from a technical background and it made so easy for me to use it Pros It is so easy to use that even a non technical background as me can also use this very easily. What I liked most about Draftbit is how simple and user-friendly the whole app-building process feels. I don’t need to be an expert developer to start turning my ideas into a real app. The interface is easy to understand, the workflow feels smooth, and I like having the flexibility to customize things as I build. It makes the process feel less complicated and more enjoyable, especially for someone who is still learning about app development. Overall, Draftbit gives me a good balance between simplicity, flexibility, and control. Review Source R Reviewer Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Draftbit delivers!" September 22, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Draftbit is amazing till now. Even the pricing seems completely fair, very competetive. Pros Draftbit is a real solution for building apps from scratch, being a developer or an entrapreneur. It helps you with easy tools and a complete AI availability. I firmly recommend. Cons Everything went fine, since the plans comparison and Free plan activation, till the support and account information. Review Source Michael S. Software Engineer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Give it a shot!" September 15, 2026 4.0 My overall experience has been pretty awesome. The free trial is absolutely a huge bonus. This jumps out at me as saying, “Here we are, try us out on us if you don’t believe the hype.” This is the biggest reason i tried Draftbit. Pros Using AI to build a real mobile app is absolutely a game changer. Being able to simply tell an agent what I want built is something that everyone should have access to and is, in my opinion, the way of the future. Cons There can be a gap between what I can describe to the AI and what Draftbit can actually implement within its supported environment. Review Source Balendu G. Director Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy to get started with, even if you're not a professional developer" September 4, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience has been positive. I tried Replit before Draftbit but found it too complicated for what I wanted to do, so I stopped using it. With Draftbit, I feel that I can understand the platform better and actually make progress with my mobile app. There are still some things I find confusing, especially the credit system and the way the different AI models are handled, but these haven't stopped me from using the platform. I’m satisfied with Draftbit so far and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with it and seeing how the platform develops. Pros The biggest advantage for me is how approachable it is. I’m somewhere in the middle technically — I can understand code and technical concepts, but I’m not a professional developer. Draftbit gives me a way to build a real mobile app without having to figure out everything from scratch. I also like the AI assistance. GPT has been working well for me and has helped me move forward much faster. So far, I think Draftbit offers good value for money, especially for someone who wants to build a mobile app without hiring a full development team. I’m still in the process of building my app, so I’m looking forward to seeing how the value compares over the longer term. This is probably one of the things I like most about Draftbit. I’m not a professional developer, but I have a reasonable technical understanding. Compared with Replit, which I found more complicated and eventually stopped using, Draftbit feels much easier to understand and work with. I can actually make progress with my app without feeling completely lost in the technical side. I’m still exploring all the customization possibilities, but so far I’m happy with the flexibility Draftbit gives me. I haven’t used the file management features enough yet to give a detailed opinion. So far, I haven’t had any major problems with it. Cons The credit system was a little confusing for me at first. I wasn't always sure how credits were being used. I also tried Gemini, but after selecting it, my credits were used and nothing happened. I then switched to GPT, which worked well. I was also wondering why Gemini isn't included more directly and why I need to go through OpenRouter to use it. I think the AI model options and credit usage could be explained more clearly. Review Source Max F. Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "easy to use" June 30, 2026 3.0 The overall cost isn't great, the website did look good though. We will continue to use recommend everyone give it a go Pros easy to use, easy to Navigate. Preview that comes up instantly pretty good, integration is great, overall kind of happy. Cons There was a lot of errors in the code that needed fixing which cost more tokens, 40,000 tokens hardly built the website have to wait a whole month to get more Review Source R Reviewer Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great Balance Between No-Code and Code" August 12, 2026 4.0 Overall, Draftbit is a great tool for quickly building mobile apps while still having flexibility and control over the code. It has helped speed up my development process. Pros Easy to build mobile apps visually while still having access to React Native code. The AI features also help speed up development and troubleshooting. Cons The AI credit system can be expensive, especially when making many changes or using AI frequently. There is also a learning curve for more advanced features. Review Source Victor N. Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "From Prototype to Production: A Powerful Low-Code Mobile App Builder" July 6, 2026 5.0 Draftbit has been a valuable platform for transforming product ideas into functional mobile applications. It strikes a balance between no-code simplicity and developer-level flexibility, making it suitable for both non-technical founders and experienced developers. The ability to visually build interfaces while maintaining access to exportable source code is a major advantage. Although there is a learning curve for advanced features, the platform substantially reduces development time and helps teams validate and launch products more efficiently. Pros Draftbit significantly accelerates mobile app development by providing a visual development environment built on React Native. The platform makes it possible to create production-ready applications without building every screen from scratch, which is particularly valuable for founders, product managers, and startups. Its integration capabilities, component library, and ability to export clean React Native code provide flexibility that many no-code tools lack. The platform also allows teams to move from prototype to deployment much faster than traditional development approaches. Cons While Draftbit is powerful, complex applications often require a deeper understanding of React Native concepts than many users initially expect. Some advanced workflows, custom logic implementations, and troubleshooting scenarios can become challenging without technical knowledge. The learning curve increases as projects grow in complexity, and certain customizations may require workarounds or direct code modifications after export.

Pros Visually being able to bring app ideas to life! Cons The editor is not quite drag and drop yet but hopefully that will get there. Review Source R Reviewer Software Developer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A great product that changes the WYSIWYG Landscape for React and Mobile App Production" January 28, 2022 5.0 I love working with Draftbit. I have found the team to be so professional and friendly. It has a community that I am proud to be a part of and I wish to help see it grow. Pros Draftbit is a great way to get into PWAs and Mobile apps no matter your skill level. I have found that it is intuitive enough to allow for extensive customisation without much coding skills required. I also found that if you need to go into code and add in your own, Draftbit has supplied a really good way to do this. It presents itself as an easy to use tool to prototype and even create production ready apps, yet it has so many complexities woven into it, that it can many very large use cases. Cons I feel like a custom plugin / extension marketplace should be implemented. I would for one love to be able to reuse custom components I have made with custom code in other projects but they do not always import across well. Review Source R Reviewer co-founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Draftbit is a great platform for organizations with low manpower and complex apps" January 27, 2022 4.0 Overall, I would say Draftbit was a great investment. It speeds up a lot of the app development process, especially on the front end side. It's relatively easy to use, though depending on the complexity of your app, some coding knowledge is needed. I do wish there was more control in certain configurations in the builder, such as app.JSON changes, and version control would also be ideal without having to make copies of things. Pros \- The ability to download all of the source code. - The front end builder largely makes front end development obsolete. - Third party integrations that don't require any code. - The ability to implement my own custom logic - Testing with Expo Go is very useful. - Active community Cons \- Some integrations aren't featyure complete yet(e.g. Firebase) - You can't import projects. - Some builder features are clunky (e.g. adding multiple actions). - Some low code features can be obtuse, requiring actual coding knowledge to dig through the source code to understand them. - Some basic features like background gradients are absent. - No good way to collaborate on a project with others Review Source R Reviewer Co-Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Speed Up Your Dev" January 25, 2022 4.0 It hasn't been smooth sailing but it's a much better option than hiring a front-end developer or going with other low-code softwares that don't offer as much flexibility as Draftbit does. Pros We contemplated of hiring a front-end developer but as a start up, we wanted to find low cost alternatives so we turn to low-code softwares. We tried several low-code platforms before deciding on Draftbit. We were looking for a platform that would speed up our dev while saving us time and money. Although other platforms had stunning templates, most of them did not allow us to own our source code. It was imperative that our work belonged to us and Draftbit allowed that. We particularly like the templates and the ability to customize them. One thing I appreciate from Draftbit is their customer service. They're very responsive and have worked closely with us to resolve issues. Cons Although Draftbit aims to save users time, navigating around Draftbit dev and design limitations has slowed us down for our first project. We ran into bugs that Draftbit has overlooked. We spent 2-3 months to develop three screens for our app which could have been resolved if Draftbit was more sophisticated - however, I'm confident they'll get there. Given that they are still in beta, Draftbit offers more than expected. They currently provide basic features and I do hope they'll release more templates in the near future such as more interaction/animation options as it's highly trending in design. Draftbit is priced a bit higher than its competitors but they offer more flexibility and customization that would help us in the long run. We wish they had more affordable plans. Review Source R Reviewer Co-founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Draftbit review" February 1, 2022 4.0 Great experience thus far. Awesome customer support as Pro members. Pros The ability to rapidly develop the basic structure of our app with no code, add in more complicated custom features using code, and export the entire project for deployment or modifcation. Cons Many standard features are being added, but often times it feels like there are some key features that are missing that can make it slightly annoying to use. One example is when we wanted to make a flatlist that disabled scroll, the feature wasn't available. Fortuneatly, we were able to just recreate the code in the custom code editor, but still, a very annoying problem that could be solved from a single feature. That being said, features are added pretty frequently, but I recommend if your app requires a certain feature, check with the team first to see if it's available. If not you may need to hard code it.

September 27, 2023 1.0 It is sad that they use this technology's and scam people. Its entertaining to see another scam on the internet. Pros This is just another FTX , they take your money and no customer service. Impossible to get the ownership information to file criminal charges. If they were a responsible company they would supply there ownership information and contact information so that you can make them responsible in court for their fraudulent business practices. Cons They pretend they are a real solution, but in fact its a numbers games, they get more money coming in with no customer service. Hostgator and AWS have customer service, draftbit does not. Review Source R Reviewer CTO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Full App Development w/o the Headache" January 24, 2022 4.0 Super positive overall. It lowers the barrier to entry and all of the headaches that usually come with app dev. Draftbit has a great community forum and their customer-facing team members are super helpful and receptive to ideas of how the product and support tools can be improved. Pros Having the source code was the main reason I went with Draftbit. I've used a handful of other low-code/no-code tools in the past, and source code was the main decision maker that made Draftbit the clear choice. I also liked that I could make multiple apps under a subscription with them. Cons I wish I could export an app or screen I've built as a template that I can use in other apps. Review Source Verified Reviewer Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Draftbit Can Be Better" April 25, 2022 2.0 It's Ok, but I'll rate it at 5 out of 10 Pros The inspiration given to people to still have hope that it's possible to build application without code, with it's amazing integration. Cons The price is on a high side for those who can't afford it. Review Source R Reviewer Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great for Entrepreneurs" January 27, 2022 4.0 I'm currently building an app with Draftbit to push the features. So far, it's been good. I've been able to do everything I need to because Draftbit allows me to use custom code if they don't have what I need prebuilt. Pros Connecting to external API's are easy in Draftbit. The component library is good and it's growing. If you're familiar with CSS Flex Box then you'll be right at home laying out components. I also like that I can write custom code and components if what I'm needing isn't already created by Draftbit. Cons I think the component library needs to improve, that is, add more components. When building for iOS you have to create custom back buttons to add interactivity, that should be a standard feature. State management takes some getting use to if you come from a React Native background and using state management solutions like Redux. Review Source Steve W. Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A must try React Native Low Code Builder" January 24, 2022 5.0 Draftbit has allowed us to expand from lowcode web design and app wireframing into full stack app design. We can now design and launch full native apps rapidly and cheaply. Pros Draftbit allows you to build and launch straight to the App Store and Playstore without ever leacing the platform or writing a line of code. It integrates with any APIs to build powerful applications with any backend. It also creates clean code you can export and use anywhere. Cons Like any lowcode tool there is some learning to get really comfortable with it. However the support and frequent updates make it a great tool to learn quickly. Review Source Vance W. Product & Marketing Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Best visual mobile app builder in the market" January 28, 2022 5.0 Having access to the app's source code is quite important because that means there's no "platform lock-in", which I think is one of Draftbit's main strength. Users won't ever need to worry that Draftbit might close shop one day and the code is lost. It's one thing to promise that Draftbit will be around for a "long time", but another to have some sort of assurance that our code will always be available to export. Having it in React Native is also quite an important point since that means one code base is sufficient for iOS and Android. For the Draftbit subscription, seeing the engagement in the community as well as the response time, sincerity of the responses, and how the entire(!) team jumps in to help all the users with their challenges was very assuring. So the single most important thing is the team behind Draftbit and the team's dedication. Pros The drag and drop feature coupled with flexbox capabilities are Draftbit's biggest strength when it comes to building UI. The builder is blazing fast, and the platform offers many options to preview your mobile app. The changes are applied in real-time so it speeds up any UI building workflow. Cons Currently, there's a small feature set compared to established players in the market. Also, the progressive web app (PWA) solution doesn't support custom domain yet.
