Blink.new
Blink covers more of the stack than most prompt-to-app tools: database, auth and deployment are handled rather than left as an exercise. The React Native and Chrome extension targets are a genuine differentiator when everything else in this category stops at a web app. Credit accounting is the thing to model before committing, because iteration is where the budget goes.
Pros
- Generates database schema, authentication and deployment, not only front-end code
- Targets React Native for iOS and Android and Chrome extensions, not just responsive web
- AI Gateway exposes 200+ models through one OpenAI-compatible API key
- Free tier is usable for evaluation and annual billing halves the monthly rate
Cons
- Credits are consumed by iteration, so the cost of one finished app is unpredictable
- Production hosting is paid from credits (50 a month covers up to 10,000 visits), so a live app keeps drawing on the allowance
- The free tier caps at 30 credits a month, which is little more than a demo
- Daily credits reset at midnight Pacific and do not roll over
- Terms name 1Flow, Inc. as a California company but give no address or explicit choice-of-law clause
