Modaal.dev's answer:

Modaal is the only AI app builder that plans the architecture before it writes a line of code. You start with a PRD-driven flow that turns your idea into a structured spec, and only then does your AI agent generate real Swift and SwiftUI — code you own and can export at any time. Most AI builders optimise for a fast first screen, which is why their output collapses once a real feature lands. Modaal optimises for the tenth feature. The second unique piece is Modaal Duet, our cross-platform framework: iOS and Android share pure business logic and feature state, but each renders its own fully native, HIG-compliant UI. Parity isn't a promise — fixtures are replayed on both platforms and the build fails on any mismatch. One production app added a full Android version without changing a single logic file.

Modaal.dev's answer:

Three reasons.

You get real native code. Lovable, Bolt and v0 are web. Replit gives you React Native. Bitrig and Superapp are Apple-only. Modaal produces genuine Swift + SwiftUI and genuine Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, in a repo you own and can walk away with.

You bring your own AI. Modaal works with 13 build agents — Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cline and more — so there's no per-token markup and no credit meter sitting between you and your work. Competitors resell you tokens at a margin; we don't touch that layer.

The free tier is actually usable. One active project, unlimited prompts, native builds for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, full code export, no credit card. Compare that to Bitrig's free plan, which caps at 10 requests and 15 credits a day. Pro is €9 per user/month billed annually.

Modaal.dev's answer:

Three groups, all of whom have shipped something before or intend to.

Indie developers and solo builders who know what a good iOS app feels like and are tired of AI tools that produce a demo they then have to rewrite.

Startup founders — technical and semi-technical — who need a real App Store product rather than a prototype, and who can't yet justify hiring two mobile engineers. Many come to us through accelerators; we run partnerships with Entrepreneur First and the Hult Prize Fund.

Small product teams and agencies who need iOS and Android in parallel without maintaining two divergent codebases or accepting a React Native compromise.

The common thread is people who intend to publish and maintain the app, not people exploring an idea for an afternoon.

Modaal.dev's answer:

Modaal came out of a specific frustration. Our team has spent 15+ years building native iOS at Booking, Uber and Meta, and previously ran an app studio that shipped 40+ apps with 6M+ downloads and an Apple App of the Year. When AI coding agents arrived, they were obviously powerful — and obviously producing code no senior mobile engineer would merge. The agent had no architecture, no memory of the decisions it made three files ago, and no concept of what makes a codebase survive contact with feature number ten.

The insight was that the missing piece wasn't a better model. It was the architect. So we built the layer that a senior engineer supplies: a spec-first workflow, an enforced structure, and a contract that keeps generated code coherent as the app grows. Agents write the code; Modaal makes it right.

We're a bootstrapped Dutch company, building in public with our own community of builders.

Modaal.dev's answer:

Modaal is a native macOS application. Generated iOS apps are Swift and SwiftUI; generated Android apps are Kotlin and Jetpack Compose — no cross-platform UI layer, no web view, no React Native. Modaal Duet, our parity framework, models shared feature state as pure typed reducers with effects expressed as data, and enforces cross-platform equivalence by replaying fixtures on both platforms at byte equality. Code generation runs through whichever AI coding agent you connect (13 supported, including Claude, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI). Distribution goes out through Xcode toolchains, TestFlight and the App Store, with Git for version control and collaboration.
