The best Draftbit alternative for AI-powered mobile apps

Draftbit is a visual builder for React Native — but it still requires manual layout work and coding knowledge. Bilt generates complete native apps from a prompt, with AI that understands mobile patterns natively.

AI-first, not visual-editor-first

What Bilt does that Draftbit can't

AI-generated complete apps

Draftbit requires manually building screens with a visual editor. Bilt generates your entire app — screens, navigation, styling, and logic — from a natural language description in minutes.

In-browser iOS simulator

Preview your app on a real iOS simulator streamed to your browser — no Expo Go app, no local setup. Faster and more accurate than Draftbit's preview experience.

Built-in backend & auth

Draftbit requires connecting external APIs and services for backend functionality. Bilt includes APIs, databases, and authentication out of the box — your app works end-to-end from day one.

Voice-driven development

Go hands-free with voice input for app development. Describe changes, request features, and iterate on your app using natural speech — a workflow Draftbit doesn't support.

Voice input & real-time collaboration

We were doing the whole design-to-code pipeline manually. Bilt just... skips the middleman. Prompt goes in, native app comes out. It's genuinely weird how much faster everything moves now.
