Rork: Chat-to-app builder for native iPhone and Android apps. Best for founders who want a real mobile app in the App Store without coding. Watch out for: free plan is design mode only, with no working app; building starts at $20/mo. Price: $20/mo (Rork Pro, 100 credits) (free tier, checked Oct 2026).

Note: Pro builds iPhone (SwiftUI), Android (Kotlin + Compose) and web apps. Rork Max is $200/mo for iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro and native-performance games. Free design mode doesn't produce a working app, so it counts as requiring paid.
