Create
Create (still branded Anything on its own site) turns a plain-English prompt into an exportable full-stack React and Node.js app with database, auth, payments
The $19/mo Pro 20k plan is a fair price for real React/Node code you can export, with Postgres, auth, Stripe, custom domains and branding removal already included. The real cost is credit burn: 20K credits/mo covers a prototype, not a sprint of heavy agent runs. The genuinely differentiated work — parallel agents, automated testing, visual QA through a computer-use agent, the 1M context window — sits behind Max at $199/mo. If you only need a starter app and will finish it yourself, Pro is enough; if you want the agent to test and fix its own output, budget for Max. Compare against Bubble (no code ownership) and against Cursor-style tools where you still wire the database and auth.

Skip Create if you need a stack other than React and Node.js, or if you want the agent's testing and parallel-run capabilities but won't pay $199/mo for Max.
Prompts, image generation and agent runs all drain the same credit pool, so a week of heavy iteration on Pro 20k's 20K monthly credits can leave you buying extra credits mid-project.
Pro 20k at $19/mo (or $228/yr billed annually) is priced like a hobby-plus tier and undercuts Bubble's paid plans while giving you exportable code. Max at $199/mo (or $1,908/yr billed annually) is a real project budget — cheaper than a contract developer for a month, but far above Cursor or Bolt-style subscription tools where you still wire the database, auth and store submission yourself.

About Create
Create — which still brands itself Anything across its own site and documentation — is an AI app builder that generates full-stack React and Node.js applications plus iOS and Android apps from a conversation. You describe what you want, the agent writes the code, and you get editable source you own rather than a visual mockup you rent. Export the project, self-host it, or keep building in the browser. The all-in-one layer is where most setup disappears: every project ships with a Postgres database for dev and production, authentication via email/password, Google, Facebook and X, Stripe and RevenueCat payments without key wrangling, file uploads for images, video and PDFs, and documented integrations including Resend, Zapier, Google Maps, Figma, Mocha, Mobbin and Sleek. Image generation covers app assets, the agent searches the web for API docs and references mid-build, and it detects and explains its own build errors in plain language. Shipping is handled in-product: one-click App Store submission, Play Store submission, custom domains, branding removal, and a shared backend so one project can power both a web app and a mobile build. The $199/mo Max tier adds what separates it from a demo generator — parallel agent runs, automated tests that click through your app like a real user, visual QA via a computer-use agent, and an extended 1M context window. A documented API/CLI exists for wiring agents or CI into the build. Positioning sits between locked no-code canvases like Bubble and thin scaffolding you finish yourself. The catch is scope — React and Node.js only — and credit-based usage that punishes heavy agent runs.
Behind the Verdict
Create's pitch is ownership plus plumbing. Most prompt-to-code tools hand you a component tree and wish you luck on auth, payments and deployment. Create hands you a React and Node.js project that already has a Postgres database for dev and production, email/password plus Google, Facebook and X login, Stripe payments with no key setup, file storage for images, video and PDFs, and a documented set of integrations (Resend, Zapier, Google Maps, RevenueCat, Figma, Mocha, Mobbin, Sleek). For a non-technical founder shipping a subscription app, that removes weeks of work you would otherwise hire out. Strengths: code export you can self-host, one-click App Store and Play Store submission, custom domains, branding removal on Pro 20k, an auto-refactor that keeps large projects buildable, web search during builds so the agent reads current API docs instead of hallucinating them, and real-time error logs the agent reads back to fix its own failures. The Max tier's automated testing (tests written and run automatically, clicking through your app like a real user) and computer-use visual QA address the single biggest weakness of AI-built apps — it looks done before it works. Weaknesses: everything is metered from one credit pool — prompts, image generation and agent work all draw down the same 20K (Pro 20k) or 220K (Max) monthly credits, and extra credits cost money. The pricing page also shows a crossed-out 200K next to Max's 220K, so the tier has been adjusted recently; check your own account before budgeting. Stack is React and Node.js only, which rules out legacy or specialized backends. Some integrations consume credits to run, and the vendor notes integrations may be temporarily unavailable or incompatible during the transition to its new builder. Teams pricing is custom-quoted, so you cannot pencil in a per-seat number without talking to them. Where it fits: early-stage founders validating a paid mobile or web app, designers who want functional code to hand to engineers, and small dev teams skipping boilerplate. Where it doesn't: performance-critical systems needing hand-tuned minimal code, teams on non-React stacks, and anyone in regulated healthcare or fintech who will not independently verify compliance — Create publishes guidance on HIPAA and fintech builds, but that is a starting point, not a certification.

Real-world workflow fit
Concrete scenarios for the personas Create actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
Prompt a subscription mobile app with login and Stripe payments, preview it on your phone via Expo Go, then submit to the App Store from the builder.
Outcome: A working, exportable React/Node project with payments and auth already wired, days instead of a contractor's quote.
Describe the spec, let the agent generate the UI and data model, iterate conversationally, then export the source and hand it to the dev team.
Outcome: Engineers receive a real codebase with a Postgres schema and auth rather than a Figma file plus a rebuild.
Use the CLI and API keys to drive builds from an agent or CI, with Max's automated tests clicking through the app and visual QA catching layout breaks before review.
Outcome: Less boilerplate and fewer regressions reaching review, at the cost of Max's $199/mo and its 220K monthly credit allowance.

Models Under the Hood
as of 2026-10-16
Limitations
- Everything metered from one pool: prompts, image generation and agent work draw on the same monthly credits — 20K on Pro 20k at $19/mo (or $228/yr billed annually, saving $60) and 220K on Max at $199/mo (or $1,908/yr billed annually, saving $480); extra credits are purchasable.
- The pricing page still shows a struck-through 200K beside Max's 220K, so the allowance has been revised — confirm the current number before you budget agent-heavy work.
- Parallel agent runs, automated testing, computer-use visual QA and the 1M context window are Max-only.
- Some integrations consume credits to run, and the vendor notes integrations may be temporarily unavailable or incompatible during the transition to its new builder.
- Output is React and Node.js, which constrains what you can build.
- Teams pricing is custom-quoted.

Free
$0/mo
Ideal for
Someone testing whether prompt-to-app works at all, or building a public demo with no custom domain.
What this tier adds
Free entry point: public projects, basic agent capability, built-in database and web search, community support only.
Pro 20k
$19/mo
Ideal for
Solo founder or designer shipping one real app who needs private projects, a custom domain and exportable code.
What this tier adds
Adds 20K monthly credits, private projects, branding removal, custom domains, code export and 50 GB storage over Free.
Max
$199/mo
Ideal for
Builder running a serious project who wants the agent to test, visually verify and fix its own app rather than self-checking every change.
What this tier adds
Adds 220K monthly credits, parallel agent runs, automated testing, computer-use visual QA, 1M context, priority support and 150 GB storage over Pro 20k.
Teams
Custom
Ideal for
Groups that need collaborator seats plus everything in Max, with billing arranged around team size.
What this tier adds
Adds collaborator support on top of Max, quoted as custom pricing rather than a published per-seat rate.
Where the pricing makes sense
The company stage and team size where Create's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.
Pro 20k at $19/mo (or $228/yr billed annually) is priced like a hobby-plus tier and undercuts Bubble's paid plans while giving you exportable code. Max at $199/mo (or $1,908/yr billed annually) is a real project budget — cheaper than a contract developer for a month, but far above Cursor or Bolt-style subscription tools where you still wire the database, auth and store submission yourself.
Setup time & first value
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Create — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
Non-technical founder: first working app in a single session, though store submission (Apple review) adds days. Designer: an hour to a first generated build, longer to reach handoff quality. Developer: minutes to connect the CLI and API keys, but budget time for code review before shipping.
Switching to or from Create
How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.
- →From Bubble: rebuild the app from a prompt in Create, then export the React/Node source instead of staying inside the canvas.
- →From handwritten boilerplate: import your design references via Figma or Mobbin, or start from a Mocha template, then add auth, Stripe and database through the builder.
- →From a static site builder: describe the existing pages to the agent and add the backend, auth and payments you were missing.
- ↗To your own repo: use code export on Pro 20k or above, then host the React front end and Node backend yourself.
- ↗To a mobile-native team: export the project and continue in standard React Native/Expo tooling rather than the in-browser builder.
- ↗To a custom stack: rewrite the backend if you leave React/Node — export gives you the logic to port, not an automatic transpile.
