Softgen is a smaller builder that wins on flexibility. You describe the app in plain English, and it asks clarifying questions and drafts a development plan before it starts, which helps non-developers specify what they actually need. Apps run on Supabase, platform-managed on Starter and managed with backups on Pro, and GitHub export is included on every plan, so you are not locked in. Starter at $25 a month includes 500 credits, 10 projects and a choice between two models. Pro at $49 adds 1,500 credits, unlimited projects, more than 12 models, custom domains, a project manager, one month of credit rollover and collaborators who do not pay. Credits do not expire while you stay subscribed. There is no permanent free plan, only trial credits without a card, and the company is younger than most rivals here, so documentation and integrations are thinner than at Lovable or Replit.

Founders who want to choose the AI model and keep the option to export code to GitHub on every plan.
