Is Rork better than FlutterFlow for building mobile apps?

It depends on your workflow preference. Rork is better if you want to describe your app in plain English and have AI generate the code — it's faster for prototyping and produces React Native output you can edit directly. FlutterFlow is better if you prefer a visual drag-and-drop interface and want to see your app take shape visually as you build it. Both export real code (React Native and Flutter respectively) that you can continue developing outside the platform.

Can Adalo apps pass App Store review?

Yes, Adalo apps can be published to the App Store. Adalo handles the submission process directly from its platform. However, because Adalo produces React Native apps with a level of abstraction over the code, some apps may face scrutiny under Apple's Guideline 4.2 if they don't offer sufficient native functionality. Simple utility apps and business tools typically pass review without issues.

Which one is cheapest for a startup MVP?

Rork Pro at $20/month is the cheapest starting point for an AI-generated cross-platform app. However, you'll likely need Supabase ($0-25/month) for database features, bringing the effective cost to $20-45/month. FlutterFlow at $30/month includes Firebase integration. Adalo at $36/month includes everything built-in. For native iOS specifically, Nativeline at $25/month with an included database offers the lowest total cost for a production-quality native app.

Can I switch from one tool to another later?

Rork and FlutterFlow export real code, so you can take the codebase and continue development independently. However, switching between React Native (Rork) and Flutter (FlutterFlow) requires a complete rewrite — the frameworks are not compatible. Adalo does not export code, so switching away means rebuilding from scratch. This is an important consideration — if you think you might need to customize or scale beyond what the platform supports, choose a tool with code export.

Do any of these tools generate native Swift for iOS?

No. Rork Pro generates React Native, FlutterFlow generates Flutter/Dart, and Adalo uses abstracted React Native. Rork Max ($200/month) is a separate tier that does generate native Swift. Nativeline ($25/month) also generates native Swift with a built-in database included. See our [comparison of Nativeline vs Rork Max](/comparisons/nativeline-vs-rork-max) for details on the native Swift options.
