AI app builder that generates a Next.js web app or a Flutter mobile app from a prompt, a Figma file or a template, on a Supabase back end, and publishes the web app to Netlify

Choose Rocket.new if

  • You want a web app and a mobile app: Rocket generates a Next.js web app or a Flutter iOS and Android app from a prompt, a Figma file, a screenshot or a template, with a live preview as it builds.
  • The code is yours — full source download on any paid plan, two-way GitHub sync with pull requests for Next.js TypeScript projects, and Rocket states you may deploy it anywhere.
  • Your data lives in your own Supabase project, connected by OAuth, so the database, sign-in and file storage are on an account you control from the first day.
  • You are learning by doing, or iterating on a prototype, and 20 free credits or Pro at US$25 a month with unlimited team members is the right size of commitment.

Choose Idea to Production if

  • One named contact who built the application and will fix it — Rocket’s support is by email and Discord, premium support is by contacting sales, and a response time is not documented.
  • Backups with restores we have actually run, files included — on Rocket the database is your Supabase project, its backups are yours to manage, and a tested restore is not documented.
  • Monitoring that reaches a person when the app is down, not analytics of who visited; Rocket documents visit analytics and a security checklist you work through yourself.
  • Roles and permissions from day one, with SSO and audit logs ready when the first enterprise customer asks — on Rocket, SSO for the workspace is by contacting sales, and single sign-on for your app’s own users is not documented.

Row by row

What each one actually gives you

Not documented means we could not find it in Rocket.new's own material — it is not a claim that it is missing. Everything marked No links to the source that says so.

Capability Rocket.new Idea to Production
Who it is for Rocket.new Yes Solo founders, product teams, designers and consultants who want to research, build and track a product without writing code, from a free plan to a US$250 a month Booster plan, with unlimited team members on every plan. Idea to Production Yes Founders and businesses whose application has to work in front of a paying customer.
How you build Rocket.new Yes You describe the app, paste a Figma link or upload a screenshot; Rocket writes a Next.js TypeScript web app or a Flutter mobile app with Supabase as the back end, and you refine it in chat, visual edit or the code editor. Source Idea to Production Yes You describe it in plain English; we build it and keep it running.
Time to a first working version Rocket.new Yes A first version publishes to a staging URL on Netlify from the Launch button, and Rocket’s quick start promises a live app in about 10 minutes. Source Idea to Production Partly A first working version in days, not minutes — it has real accounts and real data from the start.
Pricing model Rocket.new Yes Free plan with 20 one-time credits; Pro US$25, Rocket US$50 and Booster US$250 a month for 100, 250 and 1,500 monthly credits, 20% off billed annually, unlimited team members on every plan and credits added on top as needed; SSO, data localisation and premium support by contacting sales. Source Idea to Production Yes A licence plus the resources your application actually uses. No salary, no equity.
Code ownership and export Rocket.new Partly Push to GitHub on paid plans, with two-way sync and pull requests for Next.js TypeScript projects and one-way push for Flutter and other frameworks, plus a full source download as a ZIP on paid plans; the free plan can view and edit the code but not download it. Source Idea to Production Yes The source is yours, handed over in a form your own team can pick up and continue.
Hosting and custom domain Rocket.new Partly Web apps are hosted on Netlify, on Rocket’s default account or your own, at a staging URL with HTTPS; a custom domain for production, buying a domain and unpublishing need Pro or above, and a Built with Rocket badge stays on public Build tasks. Source Idea to Production Yes Production and staging on your own domain with TLS, Canadian regions by default.
Accounts, roles and SSO Rocket.new Partly Sign-in comes from Supabase Auth in your own project — email and password, magic links and social providers such as Google, GitHub and Apple; roles are something you ask Rocket to build, single sign-on for the app’s users through SAML is not documented, and SSO for the Rocket workspace is by contacting sales. Source Idea to Production Yes Real accounts, roles and permissions from day one; single sign-on switched on when you need it.
Database and tested backups Rocket.new Partly A PostgreSQL database, file storage and edge functions come from your own Supabase project, connected by OAuth, with migrations pushed from the editor; backups of that project are Supabase’s and yours to manage, and Rocket does not document a backup or a tested restore. Source Idea to Production Yes A backed-up database with restores tested, not assumed.
Monitoring, alerting to a person Rocket.new Partly Built-in analytics report visits, bounce rate and referrers for the published site, and the code view shows live build logs; uptime monitoring of the published app or alerting to a person is not documented. Source Idea to Production Yes Watched from outside on a short interval, alerting to a person, not a dashboard.
Security patching and dependency updates Rocket.new Not documented Not documented by the vendor. Idea to Production Yes Dependencies and security advisories applied on a schedule, forever.
Compliance evidence Rocket.new Partly Rocket states on its home page that it is SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and CCPA compliant with SSO/SAML, role-based access and audit logs; a trust centre or report is not linked, and for your app cookie consent, privacy pages and a privacy report are things you ask Rocket to generate. Source Idea to Production Partly A written security overview and answered questionnaires today. SOC 2 Type II is in progress, not certified.
Payments, email, e-signature, support Rocket.new Partly Connectors for Stripe and Razorpay payments and Resend, SendGrid, Brevo, Mailchimp, MailerLite and Twilio messaging, plus HubSpot, Notion, Linear and Confluence, and any REST API through imported Postman, cURL or Swagger definitions; e-signature and support-desk connectors are not documented. Source Idea to Production Yes Thirteen categories built in — Stripe, Xero, Mailgun, Twilio, DocuSign, Intercom, Jira and more.
AI agents Rocket.new Partly OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity and ElevenLabs connectors put AI features inside the app, with keys encrypted and the latest model chosen automatically; agents with their own credentials, limits, schedule and audit trail are not documented. Source Idea to Production Yes AI agents with credentials, limits, a schedule and an audit trail.
Who is responsible when it breaks Rocket.new Partly Support is by email at support@rocket.new and the #rocket-support channel on Discord, with premium support by contacting sales; a response time, and whether support debugs the code of your app, are not documented. Source Idea to Production Yes The people who built it. One named contact, not a ticket queue.
Scaling Rocket.new Partly The web app is served from Netlify’s global CDN with automatic HTTPS and the database is your own Supabase project; capacity limits and what happens under load are not documented. Source Idea to Production Yes Capacity follows demand and is measured; ten users or ten thousand on the same application.
Deployment into your own cloud Rocket.new Partly Rocket states you own the code and may download, modify and deploy it anywhere on a paid plan; the web app can publish to your own Netlify account and the database is your own Supabase project, and a deployment into your own cloud is something you do yourself from the downloaded code rather than a documented Rocket feature. Source Idea to Production No Not yet — on the roadmap. Today the application runs on our infrastructure. Source

After the build

The part that decides whether it survives a customer

What Rocket.new provides once the app exists

Rocket publishes the web app from a Launch button to a staging URL on Netlify, using Rocket’s own Netlify account unless you connect yours, and to production on a custom domain with automatic HTTPS on Pro and above, with DNS configured for you or by records you add. The database, sign-in, file storage and edge functions come from your own Supabase project, linked by OAuth, and migrations are pushed to it from a button in the editor. Environment variables are set in Rocket and injected at build time. Built-in analytics report visits, bounce rate and referrers. Every code change has a rollback button. Mobile apps ship as a web preview, an Android APK, or Flutter source you submit to the stores yourself. Support is by email and Discord.

What a real customer asks for that is not on that list

The first paying customer does not care which builder made the app. They want it up at two in the morning, and someone to have noticed first; uptime monitoring and alerting are not documented. They want a restore that has been rehearsed, and on Rocket the backup is whatever your Supabase plan provides. Their IT department wants single sign-on for the app’s users, an audit log and a security questionnaire answered by a person who can sign it. They want to know what happens on Netlify and Supabase when a launch brings ten times the traffic. None of that is a feature you prompt for; it is a job someone has to hold, every week, for as long as the application earns money.

Every application we build inherits the same five guarantees: Secure, Compliant, Reliable, Scalable, Efficient.

Already built on Rocket.new?

We treat your prototype as the brief.

A working prototype is the best specification there is: it shows what you want rather than describing it. We start from what you have learned, not from its code, and you get a production application with real accounts, real data and somebody watching it.

Show us what you have

Questions people ask

Can you take over my Rocket.new app?

We treat it as the brief. A Rocket prototype is the clearest specification you can hand us — it shows exactly which screens and flows you want, and if it came from a Figma file, the design too. We rebuild from it with real accounts, a backed-up database and monitoring from the start, rather than inheriting generated code we did not write and cannot vouch for.

Is Rocket.new a bad choice?

No. It is a good way to turn a Figma design or a prompt into a working web or mobile app in an afternoon, to test whether anyone wants it, and to learn by doing. The full source downloads on any paid plan and the data sits in your own Supabase project, so nothing is lost if you later move on. The question is only who runs it once someone is paying to use it.

Where does a Rocket.new app run, and what does it cost?

Web apps run on Netlify — Rocket’s default account, or your own if you connect it — at a staging URL, and on a custom domain for production on Pro or above, from US$25 a month. On the free plan a Build task is public, shows a Built with Rocket badge and may be used to improve Rocket’s AI; on paid plans you can set it to private. The Supabase project that holds your data is billed by Supabase on its own plans.

Who is responsible for backups on Rocket.new?

You are, through Supabase. Rocket connects your app to a Supabase project you own and pushes migration scripts to it; whatever backup and restore that project has comes from your Supabase plan, and Rocket does not document a backup or a tested restore of the app. Pushing to GitHub is a snapshot of the code, not the data.

Can my customers sign in with their company SSO on a Rocket.new app?

Sign-in on a Rocket app comes from Supabase Auth in your own project: email and password, magic links and social providers such as Google, GitHub and Apple, which you enable in the Supabase dashboard. A SAML or OIDC login for your customers is not documented by Rocket, and SSO for the Rocket workspace itself is by contacting sales. Roles are something you ask Rocket to build, so that is something to specify and check in the built app.

What happens when my Rocket.new credits run out?

Build, Solve and Intelligence pause until the monthly refresh, a top-up or an upgrade; Rocket states your projects and existing outputs remain accessible, and the published app on Netlify is not mentioned. Unused credits roll over on paid plans; the pricing page says credits never expire, and the docs say unused credits expire at the end of the cycle if you cancel. Idea to Production bills a licence plus the resources the application actually uses, and the application does not pause.
