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.

Trae

Pros

  • Permanent free tier with 5,000 autocompletions per month.
  • Covers macOS, Windows and Linux desktops plus web, iOS and Android.
  • Up to 1M-token context in Max mode and up to 20 concurrent cloud tasks on Ultra.
  • Agent workflow extends beyond coding to documents and analysis.
  • SOC 2 certification is shown on the vendor's site footer.

Cons

  • Free tier is limited to Auto mode and does not allow choosing models.
  • Token-based usage makes monthly cost harder to predict than a flat request count.
  • Pricing has changed several times in 2026 and older guides quote outdated figures.
  • Changelog page shows "No update record yet", and the product is operated by ByteDance, which some organisations may restrict.
