FlutterFlow is “Visual IDE”
RapidNative is “AI Architect”
FlutterFlow pioneered visual app building with drag-and-drop tools and recently added AI features with Dreamflow. But at its core, you're still assembling apps element-by-element. RapidNative takes a different approach: describe what you want in plain English, and our AI writes production-ready React Native code for you.
FlutterFlow Way
Design each screen element-by-element using visual tools- Configure state management and logic through Action Flows
- Learn Flutter concepts and the FlutterFlow interface
- Use AI assist features to speed up specific tasks
The RapidNative Way
"Build a fitness app with workout tracking and social feed."- Watch your entire app generate in real-time
- Zero manual configuration — describe, generate, ship
- Get clean React Native code you can edit anytime

Don't just build a prototype. Ship it.
RapidNative uses industry-standard tools to get your app into users' hands without the "No-Code" ceiling.
1. Deploy with Expo
For iOS and App Store publishing, we integrate directly with Expo. Push your code to GitHub and let Expo handle the complex certificates and signing for you.
2. Own Your Code
Every app generates clean TypeScript and React Native code. Hand it off to any developer, customize it yourself, or keep building with AI.
Why "Low-Code" Still Means Learning Curves
Visual builders like FlutterFlow are powerful, but they come with trade-offs worth understanding:
The Learning Curve
While FlutterFlow abstracts away code, you still need to understand app architecture, state management, and database design. Many users find the interface takes time to master.
Customization Requires Code
For advanced features, FlutterFlow supports custom Dart code — which means you may end up coding anyway for complex use cases.
Code Structure
While FlutterFlow offers full code export, the generated code follows their framework patterns. RapidNative generates standard React Native code that any developer can immediately understand and extend.
Different Mental Model
Visual node editors require thinking in terms of widgets and actions rather than describing outcomes. This can slow down iteration for some teams.
Our Approach
We believe the fastest path from idea to app is describing what you want, not assembling it piece by piece. You get production-ready code without learning a new interface.

Common Questions
Yes. You describe your app in plain English, and our AI writes the React Native code for you. However, unlike traditional no-code tools, the output is standard TypeScript — so you (or any developer) can edit it manually whenever you choose.
