- Built-in Firebase and Supabase integrations simplify backend setup significantly
- Team collaboration features including branching, comments, and shared design systems
- Deploy to iOS, Android, and web from a single codebase with one-click store deployment
Cons
- Growth and Business tiers get expensive with additional seats ($55-$85 per extra seat/month)
- Free tier is very limited (2 projects, 5 lifetime AI requests, no code export)
- Requires some understanding of Flutter/Dart for advanced customization and custom code
- Version history is limited even on paid plans (max 7 days on Business tier)
Appian
