Fabapp

Fabapp (the product name on its site is "Fabapp AI") is an AI app builder. You describe an idea in plain language and the AI builds an app with login, payments and data, ready to publish, "without writing a single line of code." The same project can go out as a responsive website, an installable PWA, or a native app in the App Store and Google Play. The site names 5 kinds of builders it is written for: founders, agencies and studios, internal teams, courses and schools, and creators. It does not state a headquarters or country, though its pages are published in English and Portuguese and several of its examples are Brazilian.

Fabapp says it grew out of Fábrica de Aplicativos, a platform that has existed since 2011, and the company's headline numbers combine both products. So this is an AI product built on top of an older app-building business.

What you build and how

The workflow begins with a prompt, and the home page's first promise is "Your app ready before your coffee gets cold." Quick-start chips under the prompt box show the kinds of apps people begin with: scheduling, an online store, a course or content app, events and bookings. The site says "Adjustments are visual, and from the Starter plan you can also edit the code." So the editing model is a mix: describe changes to the AI, adjust visually, or work in code on a paid plan. The platform also lists click-to-code visual editing and a history with undo.

The site groups what people build into 10 use-case categories, and its pages spell out the main ones in the product's own terms:

• Sell online. "Catalog, cart, checkout, coupons and subscriptions," with card and Pix built in and orders and customers in your own database.
• Take bookings. Availability per professional, confirmation, reminders and check-in, the classic appointment book without the spreadsheet.
• Publish content and courses. Lessons, modules, student progress and a paywall, with video and files hosted on the platform.
• Sell and track. Funnels, leads, proposals and follow-up, a CRM shaped like your process.
• Run HR and paperwork. Onboarding, requests, approvals, documents and signatures, the internal flows that today live in email.
• Run operations. Support, internal back office, order tracking, checklists and dashboards for a team.

The site also offers ready-made apps to copy into your account. One example is Vianda, a restaurant delivery app with a menu with add-ons, a cart, a delivery fee by neighborhood and a live kitchen board, listed as 8 screens. Templates are described as finished apps rather than skeletons.

On publishing, the site's section title is "One project. Three destinations. One button." Web hosting is live with HTTPS and a CDN, starting on a fabapp.app address, and you can swap in your own domain. The installable PWA goes to the home screen from the browser with no store and no download. The native option, marked "From the Builder plan," is a signed binary submitted to the store under your own developer account, with native push, camera, location and biometric login. The site's own comparison is blunt: it is "Not a browser shortcut wearing your icon."

Money is a strong part of the offer. Stripe is available worldwide, plus Pix and boleto in Brazil and Mercado Pago across Latin America, priced in the buyer's currency, with card data in a vault the company hosts. A newer feature, marked "New," is in-app purchase: you sell subscriptions and products through the store itself, the way Apple and Google require. Each purchase is verified with the app owner's key, because "the device never decides on its own what was paid."

For data and permissions, the site says who reads each record is a Postgres rule, so a badly written screen does not leak data, because the database answers empty. Other security claims on the page are a scan before publishing that blocks a secret written into the code and a broken access rule, a build with no platform keys inside, and an AI agent inside your app that runs under the permission of whoever called it.

Other platform features listed on the home page: transactional email, campaigns, push notifications, SMS, Slack and Discord; integrations with WhatsApp, Shopify, Notion, Airtable, Mailchimp, Telegram, Google Workspace and outgoing webhooks; "Connectors" for any API with an OpenAPI description; and AI inside the app, where a published app can generate text and images, read a document or run an agent at runtime. A custom domain, colors, logo, and removal of the Fabapp badge arrive on paid plans.

Code ownership is the last pillar. The site says you get real React code, editable and exportable to your GitHub, with free npm, and that you can "export the whole project as code." The closing section of the Portuguese page adds that you can take the code with you if you ever want to.

Plans, limits and claims

The site states "Free to start, no credit card," and the Portuguese closing section says you only pay when you want to publish under your own brand. Plan names visible on the site are Starter, where code editing begins, and Builder, where native app publishing begins. The home page lists no prices, no credit amounts and no usage limits, so open the Pricing page before you budget. The one numeric offer is a referral: "Refer and earn 200 credits for you and for whoever you invite."

Scale claims are stated as combined figures for Fábrica de Aplicativos and Fabapp AI since 2011: 2M+ apps created, 1.6M+ registered creators, 10M+ active users and 120 countries reached. The home page also shows a 4.8 out of 5 rating next to "Join 1.6M+ creators." These are the company's own figures, and the site does not say who rated it.

A row of brands (Sodexo, Vivo, Braskem, Sesc, Ticket, Whirlpool and Nissan) appears under the heading "Brands already built on Fabapp," and a note says they were customers of Fábrica de Aplicativos, the platform Fabapp AI grew out of. They should be read as customers of the older platform. The Portuguese page also lists press mentions: Exame, Época NEGÓCIOS, PEGN, Startupi and Estadão.

The platform is available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and German, and the AI builds your app in the language you write to it in. There is a Security page, a Documentation library with guides and comparisons, a community area, a directory of certified agencies for hiring help, a partner program for agencies and studios and an affiliate program with recurring commission.

Who it suits and who it does not

Fabapp suits a founder who wants one project to appear as a website, a PWA and a store app without rebuilding it for each. It suits Brazilian and Latin American sellers in particular, because Pix, boleto and Mercado Pago are listed payment methods. It also fits an agency that wants a client app quickly, with a directory and partner program around it, and an internal team replacing a spreadsheet with a process app for bookings, approvals or order tracking.

The caveats are about what the site leaves open. Prices are not on the home page, native store publishing needs the Builder plan and your own developer account with Apple and Google, and code editing starts with the Starter plan. A team that needs named compliance standards, or a clear usage limit before buying, should confirm both before committing.
