Built-in database, payments, auth and model access cover the full stack from one prompt, though App Store reliability complaints hold the number back. THE RUNDOWN
Reaching a first draft takes little more than typing into a prompt box; debugging through prompts is where users stall. ZERO TO RUNNING
The monthly credit allowance looks affordable on paper, yet reviewer accounts of balances vanishing during fix loops make its real reach hard to judge. THE DAMAGE
Anything claims 1.5 million builders and holds 4.9 from 8 reviews on There's An AI For That, but neither is a dated traction figure from its own record, so momentum stays capped. THE STREET
Koda Score = weighted blend: capability 35, ease 20, value 25, momentum 20.
Every Anything project ships with its own Postgres database and Stripe payments wired in, which puts it ahead of builders that stop at a pretty front end. User reports split on reliability, so treat the first build as an experiment. Non-technical founders validating an idea should adopt it, starting on Free and moving to Pro only once a test build keeps its data.
Anything will spin up a good-looking app from a paragraph; whether that app still remembers your data after a sign-out is the part worth checking.

The short version.
2 LINESTreat looks as noise: the only early signal that matters is whether saved records come back after a restart.
Anything's own feature listing quotes Pro at $14.99 while its pricing page shows $19/mo, so check the figure at checkout.
What it actually does.
6 CAPABILITIES- Prompt-to-code builder
- Turns an English description into a coded app and applies later edits from plain-language prompts.
- Built-in Postgres
- Each app gets an instant dev and production Postgres database with 1GB+ free per app.
- Stripe payments
- Adds subscription or one-time payments without you handling API keys.
- Authentication
- Ships sign-up via email/password, Google, Facebook, X and more.
- Model access
- Wires GPT-5, o3, Claude Sonnet 4.6 or Gemini 2.5 into an app in one prompt with no keys required.
- Self-repair
- Detects and fixes errors automatically and refactors projects so they can grow past 100k lines of code.
How you would actually use it.
2 PLAYS- Persistence smoke test
- Prompt a habit tracker with Home, Add/Edit Habit and History screens that stores habit_completion_date per user; mark a habit done, sign out, reopen, and check every screen.WHONon-technical founderPAYOFFA pass or fail answer on whether the generated database works before you pay anything.
- Credit kill switch
- Write a rule before building: if two fix prompts in a row fail on the same bug, stop spending credits and pull the project out through code export.WHOStartup prototyper on ProPAYOFFA ceiling on debugging spend, with the code in hand to finish elsewhere.
Pricing, straight.
4 TIERS- Verdict on the price
- Fair for a first build, though credit-metered fixing makes the true monthly cost unpredictable.
The credit math, computed by Koda from the tiers above: price divided by allowance, per 1,000 credits.
- Pro 20k
- $0.95 per 1,000 credits ($19 for 20,000). Max's $199 buys 209,474 credits at this rate, so it is the better buy above 209,474 a month.
- Max
- $0.90 per 1,000 credits ($199 for 220,000).
What people online are saying.
5 QUOTEDMixed: non-technical users praise how quickly they reach a working app, and critics concentrate on credits vanishing during bug fixes and thin support.
Not a technical person, yet happy with the app built; the outcome felt genuinely incredible.
PraiseGot a working MVP with around 30 features running on phones and web, despite occasional slowness and lockups.
MixedCredits disappear fast while fixing bugs; roughly $25 can go in about an hour, and the pricing is a joke.
CritiqueThe honest part.
4 LIMITATIONSApp Store reviewers report JavaScript errors, long loads, failed prompts and login problems in generated apps.
Product Hunt commenters doubt its customization depth and its handling of complex workflows.
Support is a weak spot in public feedback, from Product Hunt threads to a Trustpilot user locked out of an account.
The pricing page does not show how many credits a single prompt costs, so a debugging session is hard to budget.
The field.
2 ALTERNATIVESGetting started.
4 STEPSSign up at anything.com/signup.
Describe the app in the prompt box on the homepage.
Request changes in plain English while it detects and repairs its own errors.
Publish to the web, or use the Publishing options to submit to the App Store.
Quick answers.
2 ANSWERS- What happens when I run out of credits?
- The plan comparison says you can purchase more credits on top of the monthly allowance. The pricing page lists questions about unused credits and refunds without showing the answers, so ask before committing.
- Can it build native mobile apps?
- Yes, it targets phones as well as the web, and App Store submission sits under its Publishing options. A Product Hunt commenter named App Store submission among the things they liked.
The bottom line.
SPECIMEN 0238 CLOSEDWorth a weekend and a hard spending cap: prove persistence on a throwaway habit tracker before you trust it with a real product.
