Question 1

How much does it cost to make an app?

Accepted Answer

The free plan includes free credits to start in most countries. Many users start with Pro ($25/month for 50 credits) and buy top-ups whenever they need more, so they're never locked into a subscription. Business is $50/month for 110 credits, and Max is $100/month for 230 credits — the more expensive the plan, the cheaper each credit. Paid plans also get free credits on Mac, making it significantly cheaper than hiring developers.

Question 2

Do I need a Mac?

Accepted Answer

No. You can use Superapp on the web without a Mac, and we take care of publishing to the App Store for you. We also have an original Mac version that's loved by users who prefer more control over the project, often using it together with Claude Code, Codex and Xcode. The Mac version requires a bit of setup but is much faster long-term, while the web version is best if you want a high quality app fast.

Question 3

How do I make an iPhone app without coding?

Accepted Answer

Just describe your app idea in plain English. Superapp AI generates native Swift code automatically, letting you create a real iPhone app without writing any code or hiring developers.

Question 4

Can AI really build an iOS app?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Superapp generates production-ready native Swift code from your descriptions. Unlike web-based no-code tools, it creates real native iOS apps that meet Apple's App Store guidelines.

Question 5

Is Superapp the best mobile app builder for iOS apps?

Accepted Answer

Superapp is a mobile app builder made specifically for Apple. Unlike general app builders, it generates real native Swift instead of web wrappers, so as an iPhone app builder it delivers the performance and polish Apple expects — with a smoother App Store review. If your goal is a high-quality iOS app rather than a quick cross-platform prototype, that focus is what sets it apart.

Question 6

How is Superapp different from Lovable, Replit, Bubble, cross-platform React Native builders, or FlutterFlow?

Accepted Answer

In simple terms, Superapp is specialized in making beautiful, high-performance native apps — exactly the way Apple intends them to be built. We achieve that by using Apple technology and following the best Swift practices. Most others don’t: they produce web wrappers, which can suffer both in product quality and from App Store rejections.

Question 7

Who is behind Superapp?

Accepted Answer

Superapp is built by a team of experienced engineers formerly at Bolt, Grammarly, Wix, and MacPaw.

Question 8

Can I only build prototypes, or can I ship a real startup?

Accepted Answer

Superapp is built for production. The apps it generates are real native Swift apps — the same technology used by top apps on the App Store. Creators are already charging for their apps, acquiring users, and building businesses. This is not a prototype tool. It is a platform for founding a software startup without a technical co-founder.

Question 9

How do I get users and start making money?

Accepted Answer

Shipping is just the start. We help you grow with proven playbooks and built-in ASO and marketing tools to land your first users, drive downloads, and turn your app into a real business.

Question 10

Swift vs React Native Expo — which is better for iOS?

Accepted Answer

Swift gives you fully native performance, first-class access to Apple APIs, and painless App Store submission. Expo is great for quick cross-platform prototypes, but shipping polished iOS apps still benefits from native Swift, which is what Superapp generates for you.

Question 11

How long does it take to create an iOS app?

Accepted Answer

Most users go from idea to working app in under an hour. Big actions like generating an entire screen use ~1 credit, while incremental tweaks often consume around 0.1 credits.

Question 12

How do I publish to App Store?

Accepted Answer

We've fully automated publishing to the App Store for you. You just have to sign in with your developer account, and we'll take care of everything — including ASO optimization and all the Apple bureaucracy.

Question 13

Do I need an Apple Developer account?

Accepted Answer

You don't need one to start building — only when you're ready to publish. An Apple Developer account is required by Apple to ship any app to the App Store, but that's the only part you handle. Once you've signed in, we take care of the rest.

Question 14

What do I need to get started?

Accepted Answer

On the web, just type your idea into the prompt — nothing to install. Prefer the Mac app? You'll need a reasonably recent version of macOS, and it will prompt you to install Xcode during onboarding (not required on the web).

Question 15

Does Superapp support iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 16

Can I make games?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 17

Can I export the code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You fully own the code and can export it anytime.

Question 18

Can I use it together with Claude Code and Codex?

Accepted Answer

Yes — on the Mac version. In fact, that's how many of our users build.

Question 19

Can I use my own backend like Supabase?

Accepted Answer

You can either use Superapp Cloud, which provides backend, database and storage out of the box so you don't have to think about anything technical, or bring your own Supabase instance.

Question 20

Do you have support?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we're always there for you on Discord or email, and we make sure you get to the App Store.

Question 21

What is Selfdrive?

Accepted Answer

Selfdrive is Superapp’s AI marketing agent for iOS apps. It works across Apple Ads, App Store optimization, Website & SEO, and creator campaigns. You set the budget, approve what goes live, and receive a morning email with results and next steps. It is currently in beta.

Question 22

Can Selfdrive grow an app I didn't build with Superapp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can connect an existing App Store app you own, even if you built it elsewhere. Start with its App Store link or connect through App Store Connect.

Question 23

How much does Selfdrive cost?

Accepted Answer

Selfdrive is included in the Max plan, $100/month. Apple Ads spend is billed by Apple and creator fees go to the creators; both are separate and only happen within budgets you approve. ASO and website work need no ad spend at all.

Question 24

What does Selfdrive actually do every day?

Accepted Answer

It checks your Apple Ads keywords and bids, watches your App Store rankings and proposes listing changes, publishes website articles on the plan you approved, and briefs creators. Every morning you get one email with your downloads, what it did, and what it suggests next.

Question 25

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

Apple Ads can bring installs within days. App Store ranking changes usually take weeks. Website and SEO traffic takes months, and search engines and AI assistants decide what they index. Selfdrive reports progress every morning, but nothing is guaranteed.

Question 26

Does it spend money without my approval?

Accepted Answer

You authorize the campaign and budget before ads run. Within that approval, Selfdrive can manage bids and keywords. Listing changes and creator briefs require your approval, and creators are paid after you approve their video. Ad spend and creator fees are separate from agent usage.

Question 27

How do I get access?

Accepted Answer

Selfdrive is in beta and available to selected accounts. Use Request access in the Selfdrive section to contact our team. Signing up for Superapp does not automatically include Selfdrive access.
