Pros and cons

Anything

Pros

  • Covers the full stack in one tool: database, auth, backend functions, file uploads and payments are built in.
  • Builds both web and native mobile apps, with store submission support.
  • Max mode tests apps in a real browser or simulated iOS device and fixes issues automatically.
  • Full source code can be downloaded, and the docs state users own the generated code.
  • Public API and CLI allow integration with other agents and workflows.

Cons

  • No free plan for building; the cheapest tier is $24/month on monthly billing.
  • The jump from Pro (20K credits) to Max (220K credits, $239/month) is steep, and credit consumption is variable.
  • GitHub sync is not yet available and Google Play publishing is still in beta.
  • Docs note that some integrations may be temporarily unavailable during the transition to the new builder.

Factory

Pros

  • Covers the full delivery loop: implementation, review, testing, incident response and documentation.
  • Model independence, with a router and bring-your-own-key support for custom models.
  • Available in desktop, CLI, web and several IDEs, so work is not tied to one editor.
  • Enterprise controls including SSO, audit logging, zero data retention and on-premise options.
  • Public API and OpenAPI specification for building on top of the platform.

Cons

  • No free tier or trial is listed; the entry plan is $20 per month.
  • Usage limits are given only as multiples of Pro, so actual capacity is hard to estimate.
  • Business and Enterprise pricing is contact-sales only.
  • Droid Computers are limited to Plus and higher plans.
