# Fabapp AI

> Fabapp AI is an artificial-intelligence platform that builds complete web and PWA applications from a
> description written in plain language. It generates the screens, the database, the end-user login, the
> payments and the publishing, and the app then runs on Fabapp's infrastructure under a custom domain. It is
> the current product of Fabapp, the Brazilian company that has operated as Fábrica de Aplicativos since 2011;
> figures such as "500K+ apps created" cover both.

Generated applications are real React + Vite projects with a component library. They can be edited visually or in code, exported as a ZIP or to GitHub, published as an installable PWA, and shipped to the App Store and Google Play from the same project.

## Documentation

- [Command line and keys](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/cli-e-chaves): Bring your project's definition to disk, run the app on your own machine, and publish it back without leaving the terminal.
- [Creating your first app](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/criando-seu-primeiro-app): From what you type to the app online. It takes minutes, and the Free plan walks the whole path without asking for a card.
- [Getting to know the Studio](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/conhecendo-o-studio): Where each thing is, so you stop looking for it. This list is complete: if it is not here, it does not exist.
- [Writing good prompts](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/escrevendo-bons-prompts): How to describe what you want so the AI builds the app you pictured, and not one that resembles it.
- [Asking for changes without breaking what works](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/pedindo-mudancas): The most common fear once you have a running app: ask for one adjustment and get a different app back. This guide is about why that almost never happens, and what to do the times it does.
- [Undoing: version history](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/historico-de-versoes): Every edit the AI applies becomes a saved version. Nothing you ask for is irreversible, and going back costs no credits.
- [Credits: what spends them and what does not](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/creditos): Two separate currencies, what each one pays for, and why you do not pay for the AI's mistakes.
- [Selling subscriptions inside the app](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/compras-no-app): Inside the app installed from a store, the store does the charging, not your gateway. This guide covers how to tie each of your app's plans to an App Store or Google Play product, and why the subscribe button sometimes does not show up.
- [When something goes wrong](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/quando-algo-da-errado): The most common symptoms, what usually causes each one, and what to do. In the order they show up.
- [Publishing your app](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/publicando-o-app): Going live, going offline, and the difference between what you see and what the world sees.
- [Using your own domain](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/dominio-proprio): Point a domain you already own at your app, with an SSL certificate issued automatically.
- [Publishing your app on the App Store and Google Play](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/app-nas-lojas): The app you already published on the web becomes a real native app, with push and camera, and goes to the stores under your own developer account. Setting it up takes about 10 minutes; the first publication takes 1 to 2 days, because of the stores' review.
- [Connecting your Apple and Google accounts](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/contas-de-loja): The credentials the platform uses to sign, submit and notify on your behalf, where to generate each one, and the classic mistake behind each. They are stored encrypted and never come back to the screen.
- [Sign-up and login in your app](https://www.fabapp.ai/docs/cadastro-e-login): How people create an account and get into the app you published. This is about the users of your app, not about your own Fabapp account, which is a different thing and lives in your profile.

## Guides and comparisons

- [What an app costs in 2026](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-much-does-an-app-cost): The question has no single answer, it has three, because there are three different ways to buy the same thing. And the gap between them is not ten or twenty per cent: it is two orders of magnitude.
- [What a delivery app costs](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-much-does-a-delivery-app-cost): This sum has something the others do not: you are already paying for one, even without having it. Marketplace commission is the price of the delivery you use today, and it is what any alternative has to be measured against.
- [What a transport app costs](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-much-does-a-transport-app-cost): One single item separates the cheap transport app from the expensive one, and it almost never comes up in the first conversation: live tracking.
- [How much does a sales app cost](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-much-does-a-sales-app-cost): Before the price, a distinction that changes the whole bill: there are two different apps with this name.
- [What a simple app costs](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-much-does-a-simple-app-cost): "Simple" is the most expensive word in a quote, because each side means something different by it. Start with the definition that moves the price bracket.
- [How much it costs to maintain an app per year](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-much-it-costs-to-maintain-an-app-per-year): This is the line that disappears from almost every budget, and the only one that keeps arriving after the project is finished. It is worth splitting into three groups, because they behave differently.
- [What it costs to publish an app to Google Play and the App Store](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/what-it-costs-to-publish-an-app-to-the-stores): The fees are public, small and easy to find. What costs a lot is what nobody puts in the budget: time, process requirements, and commission on what you sell inside the app.
- [Agency, freelancer or platform](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/agency-freelancer-or-platform): All three build the same app and sell different things. Choosing on price is the fastest way to choose wrong, because what differs between them is not only the cost.
- [How to build an app from scratch](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-from-scratch): "From scratch" means two different things, and they hurt in opposite places. One is starting without knowing how to code. The other is starting without knowing yet what the app does. Tooling solved the first. The second is yours, and it is the one that decides whether the project moves.
- [How to build an app for free](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-for-free): The right question is not whether a free app exists. It is which part is free, because the bill splits into three pieces that behave differently.
- [How to build an app with AI](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-with-ai): The part AI solves today is larger than most people assume, and smaller than the demos suggest. The two are worth separating.
- [How to write an app prompt](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-write-an-app-prompt): An app prompt is not an essay. It is a request, and a good request answers four questions before describing any screen.
- [How to make money with an app](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-make-money-with-an-app): There are four ways, and they look nothing like each other. Picking the wrong one is the most common reason a good app earns zero.
- [How to build a catalogue with WhatsApp ordering](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/whatsapp-order-catalog): You sell through Instagram and WhatsApp, and it works. The problem is not the selling, it is everything around it: answering "how much is it?" forty times a day, digging through the chat for what somebody ordered, and finding out while packing that the item is gone.
- [How to build an app like Uber Eats](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-like-uber-eats): Two things share one search, and only one of them is software.
- [How to build an app like Uber](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-like-uber): Almost nobody making this search wants Uber. That is worth starting with, because the difference changes what can be built and what will cost a lot.
- [How to build an app like WhatsApp](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-like-whatsapp): Before the how, a question that saves months: do you want a messenger, or a closed community with conversation inside it?
- [How to build an app like Tinder](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-like-tinder): The swiping is the easy part. What separates a matching app that works from one that dies in two months is three things, and none of them is the card animation.
- [How to build an app like ChatGPT](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-like-chatgpt): Almost nobody searching for this wants to build another ChatGPT. What they want, nearly always, is an assistant for one subject: one that knows your catalogue, your rules, your documents, and talks to your customers.
- [How to build an app like Airbnb](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/how-to-build-an-app-like-airbnb): Underneath, a booking app is the combination of three things: a listing with an owner, a calendar, and a booking that locks a date. Everything else is finish work.
- [Best AI app builders in 2026](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/best-ai-app-builders): Choosing between AI app builders got harder because every landing page promises the same thing. This guide compares six of them on the question that separates a prototype from a product: what is left when you have to charge a real customer.
- [The best app builders in Brazil](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/best-app-builders-in-brazil): The Brazilian angle changes the comparison, and not because of features. It changes because of four things that only surface after you sign: local payment, a local invoice, support in your timezone, and who owns the store accounts.
- [Lovable alternatives](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/lovable-alternatives): Before the list, something almost no page with this title says: Lovable is good. It is the most mature product in the category, with the largest community and the least friction from zero to a working web app.
- [Base44 alternatives](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/base44-alternatives): Base44 bet early on "the backend comes with it" and was acquired by Wix. The bet was right, and precisely because it was right it stopped being a differentiator: a database, authentication and integrations included are now what the whole category ships.
- [Bolt alternatives](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/bolt-alternatives): Bolt is fast. From an idea to a screen that opens, it is probably the shortest path in the category, and for demonstrating an idea it remains a very good choice.
- [Bubble and Adalo alternatives](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/bubble-and-adalo-alternatives): These are the two best-known no-code tools, and people looking for alternatives usually leave for different reasons. Separating them matters, because the good alternative depends on the reason.
- [What an AI app builder actually costs](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/ai-app-builder-pricing-compared): The number on the pricing page does not tell you what you will pay. Not because anybody is hiding anything, but because the platforms in this category charge in different units, and different units do not compare by division.
- [Best design system tools for small teams](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/best-design-system-tools): Your product looks inconsistent. Buttons do not match across screens, spacing drifts from page to page, and every new feature looks like it came from a different app. So you search for a design system tool and land on a list of fifteen with no way to tell which one solves your case.
- [How to publish an app on Google Play in 2026](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/publish-app-to-google-play): The process changed, and most of the tutorials that come up in search predate the change. The difference is not cosmetic: there is now a testing requirement that holds a new app for at least two weeks, and people who do not know about it find out on the day they meant to launch.
- [How to publish an app to the App Store in 2026](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/publish-app-to-the-app-store): The App Store is stricter than Google Play and fails in different places. The walkthrough is short; what causes delay is always the same list of things that are not code.
- [Google Play's closed test: 12 testers for 14 days](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/google-play-closed-testing-12-testers): It is the requirement that delays Android launches most, and most of the tutorials in search results predate it. People who do not know about it find out on the day they meant to publish.
- [The most common app store rejections](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/the-most-common-app-store-rejections): Almost every rejection is paperwork, not code. That is good news: most of it is solved in an afternoon, and all of it can be avoided before submitting.
- [In-app purchase: the step most AI app builders still have not solved](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/in-app-purchase-app-builder): There is a moment where almost every AI-built project stalls, and it arrives late: the app is finished, it looks good, it works in the browser, and then you decide to put it on the App Store or Google Play and charge a subscription. That is when you find out the payment button that worked on the web is exactly what gets the app rejected.
- [Native app, PWA or responsive website: how to choose](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/native-app-pwa-or-website): Three answers to one question, and the difference between them is almost always explained in technical vocabulary that does not help anyone decide. This guide decides by consequence: what you gain, what you lose, and what becomes impossible.
- [What is a PWA](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/what-is-a-pwa): PWA stands for progressive web app. It is an app that runs in the browser but behaves like an installed one: an icon on the home screen, full screen with no address bar, and it keeps working offline for whatever already loaded.
- [What is vibe coding](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/what-is-vibe-coding): The term is Andrej Karpathy's, from February 2025, and it described a way of programming where you talk to the AI, accept what it writes and judge by the result rather than reading the code line by line. It became a category name within months.
- [No-code, low-code and AI](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/no-code-low-code-and-ai): These are three answers to the same question, "how do I make an app without a development team", and they give up different things. Confusing them leads to choosing for the wrong reason.
- [Which AI model to use for generating an app](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/ai-models-for-app-generation): The question sounds like tool selection and is actually architecture. Generating an app is not one task, it is six or seven, and they ask for things different enough that "which model is best" is the wrong question.
- [Command line and MCP in app builders: what changes when the project leaves the browser](https://www.fabapp.ai/guides/command-line-and-mcp-in-app-builders): Most AI building tools live entirely inside a tab. That handles the beginning very well, and it starts to pinch as the project grows: you want to run the app on your own machine, open the files in the editor you already use, ask for a change from the assistant that is already open in your terminal.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe what you want in plain language and the AI creates the app — screens, data and content. Adjustments are visual, and from the Starter plan you can also edit the code.

### How does Fabapp build my app?

You share the idea, the AI plans it (screens, data models and flows), builds it and leaves it ready to publish. Then you just refine it by chatting with the AI or in the visual editor.

### Where does my app live?

It runs in the browser (responsive web) and installs as an app (PWA) on the phone's home screen — no app store required. You publish it via a link or use your own domain.

### What kinds of apps can I create?

Scheduling, online stores, courses, events, catalogs, internal company apps and much more. If you can describe it, the AI builds it.

### Can my app have login, payments and integrations?

Yes. Sign-up and login for end users, billing and subscriptions (card and Pix), and integrations such as email, notifications and APIs — advanced features come with the paid plans.

### Can I start for free?

Yes. You create and test on the Free plan, with no credit card. You only subscribe when you want to publish with your brand and unlock advanced features.

### What is Fabapp AI?

Fabapp AI is a platform that builds complete web and PWA applications from a description in plain language. It generates the screens, the database, the login and the publishing, and the app then runs on our infrastructure with your own domain.

### Can I edit the code the AI writes?

Yes, from the Starter plan on. Every app is real React code, editable in the browser, and from the Builder plan you can export the whole project to GitHub or as a ZIP.

### Can I publish to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. The same project generates a native app for iOS and Android, with push notifications, on top of the web app you already published.

### How do templates work?

A template is a finished app — screens, data model and sample content. Using it copies the whole thing into your account as a new project, with no AI credits spent, and from there you edit anything.

### Which languages does Fabapp speak?

The builder is available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and German, and the AI generates the app in whatever language you write to it in.

### Who owns the app I create?

You do. The app, its data and its code are yours — you can export the code and take it elsewhere at any time on the plans that include export.
