TL;DR
- RapidNative is an AI mobile app builder: describe your app and get real React Native and Expo screens, navigation and a backend, with a live preview on your phone.
- LetsDeployIt is a done-for-you publishing service: listings, compliance, signing, submission and reviewer replies until your app is live on both stores.
- They're connected: click Publish in the RapidNative editor, and LetsDeployIt takes it from there.
Most AI app builders stop at a web app. You get something that runs in a browser tab, and the moment you want it on a phone, in the App Store or on Google Play, you're on your own.
We built two products to close that gap. RapidNative builds real native mobile apps from a prompt. LetsDeployIt takes those apps (and apps from other builders) through the App Store and Google Play until they're live.
Here's what each one does.
What is RapidNative?
RapidNative is an AI mobile app builder. You describe the app in plain English, and it builds real React Native and Expo screens, the navigation between them and the backend behind them. It's native code from the first prompt, not a website in a wrapper, and you can export it any time with no lock-in.
It's built for founders testing an idea, product managers who want to show a working app instead of slides, designers who want their designs running on a real phone, and developers who want to skip the boilerplate.
What can you do with RapidNative?
Start from anything
| Start with | What you get |
|---|---|
| A prompt | A full app from a plain-English description |
| A sketch | Your hand-drawn screens turned into real ones |
| An image or screenshot | A working app that matches it |
| A PRD or doc | The app your spec describes |
| A template | A working full-stack app to make your own |
Templates include an AI companion chat app, an AI calorie tracker and a ride-hailing app, each with real screens, data and workflows.
Full stack from day one
Every project comes with authentication, file storage and realtime updates already wired up, plus a real Postgres database you can query, migrate and secure. Prefer your own? Point the project at your own Supabase from Project Settings, without touching code.
Edit, test and build together
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Select and edit | Point at any part of a screen, describe the change, and the AI edits the real code |
| Live phone preview | Scan a QR code and see the app on iPhone and Android in real time, with no Xcode or Android Studio |
| Native device features | Ask for the camera, location, push notifications or biometrics, and the AI wires up the native APIs |
| Team collaboration | Invite your team to one workspace and build together, with every edit synced live |
| Theming | Match your brand's colors, typography and components, or start from a built-in theme |
| Shareable URL | Every project gets a public link anyone can open for feedback |
| Code export | Download clean React Native and Expo code and keep building it anywhere |
Bring in a Lovable app
Built something in Lovable? Import the project's ZIP export, and RapidNative converts it into a React Native and Expo app (not a wrapped website). It lands in the editor, where you can preview it on your phone and keep building with AI.
Appshots for store screenshots
Appshots turns your raw app screens into App Store and Google Play screenshots. It writes the headlines, picks layouts and colors from your brand, and exports every size the stores ask for.
What does RapidNative cost?
You can start free with 20 AI credits a month and up to 5 screens per project, no credit card needed. Paid plans start at $20 a month and add unlimited screens, private projects, team collaboration, code export and a code editor in the browser. Fixing AI errors never costs credits. See RapidNative pricing for every plan.
Meet LetsDeployIt
Building the app is only half of it. To get it into the App Store and Google Play, you still need signing certificates, production builds, store listings, screenshots, privacy labels, the Data Safety form, account deletion if users can sign up, Google's closed test for new personal accounts, and a review you pass.
LetsDeployIt does all of that for you. It's a done-for-you publishing service from the same team, and it's connected to RapidNative: click Publish in the editor, choose Automatic deployment with LetsDeployIt, and you're signed in with your RapidNative account with your project already linked. There's nothing to export or upload.
What does LetsDeployIt handle?
| Area | What's done for you |
|---|---|
| Store assets | App icon polish, screenshots in every device size, listing copy and keywords |
| Compliance | Privacy policy and terms hosted, Apple privacy labels, the Data Safety form, account deletion and a Guideline 4.2 check |
| Builds and signing | Bundle IDs, certificates, a keystore and production builds for iOS and Android |
| Google Play testing | The 12-tester, 14-day closed test for new personal accounts, run with you |
| Submission and review | Submission to both stores, reviewer replies, and fixes and resubmissions until it's approved |
| After launch | The first 2 months of the Care plan free: up to 2 updates a month shipped to your store app |
Every step is drafted by AI and checked by people. Most apps go from kickoff to live in three to four weeks, including Apple's and Google's review times.
What does LetsDeployIt cost?
Prices on the site at the time of writing, in USD:
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Export | $99.50 | Full source code; you submit it yourself |
| Launch, one store | $349.50 | App Store or Google Play, done for you |
| Launch, both stores | $499.50 | App Store and Google Play, done for you |
Launch plans are paid 50% to start and 50% when the app is live, and every resubmission is covered. If your app follows Apple's and Google's published policies and it can't be approved, you get a 100% refund. Apple ($99 a year) and Google Play ($25 once) developer fees are separate. See LetsDeployIt pricing for the details.
Not built in RapidNative?
LetsDeployIt works with apps from any builder: Lovable, Bolt, v0, Rork, Emergent, Replit, FlutterFlow and more, as well as hand-written apps. Send your app's link, and the team tries it for free and comes back within two business days with how they'd get it into the stores. More on that at letsdeploy.it.
Has it shipped real apps?
Yes. Mindful Coach (meditation, breathing and mood tracking) and LibreAte (restaurant reviews for people with food allergies) are live on both stores. A third app is live under NDA, and more are in review.
How do they work together?
| RapidNative | LetsDeployIt | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | AI mobile app builder | Done-for-you App Store and Google Play publishing |
| You get | A real React Native and Expo app with a backend | That app live on both stores |
| How you use it | Describe, edit and preview in the browser | Click Publish in the editor, or send your app's link |
| Pricing | Free to start, paid plans from $20 a month | Flat fee from $349.50, refund if a compliant app isn't approved |
Build it in RapidNative, ship it with LetsDeployIt, then keep building and publish updates from the same editor.
