Bilt vs AppGyver: comparing two app-building approaches
Bilt and AppGyver approached app building from opposite directions. Bilt is a prompt-based generator that turns natural-language descriptions into a React Native and Expo mobile app codebase. AppGyver was a standalone visual, no-code app builder that has since been folded into SAP Build Apps and isn’t sold as an independent product anymore.
Here’s what each tool does today, how they stack up side by side, and where Sticklight, the vibe-coding platform built by the Elementor team, fits if you want more than a single mobile app.
- Bilt generates a React Native and Expo codebase from natural-language prompts and streams a live preview to your phone without requiring Xcode or a Mac.
- AppGyver, now positioned as SAP Build Apps, was a visual no-code/low-code builder and isn’t sold as an independent product under its original name anymore.
- Bilt publishes one-click to the Apple App Store and Google Play, and can export the codebase to GitHub.
- AppGyver’s current entry and enterprise pricing couldn’t be independently verified from an official SAP pricing page; check SAP’s site for current figures.
- Sticklight takes a prompt to a production-ready website, app, dashboard, CMS, or internal tool and publishes it, built by the Elementor team and additive to WordPress and Elementor.
What Bilt is built for.
Bilt is an AI prompt-based platform that generates a React Native and Expo mobile app codebase from natural-language descriptions. It’s aimed at non-technical founders who want to build and publish a mobile app: you write a prompt, Bilt produces working app code, and it streams a live preview to your connected phone so you can see the app running without setting up Xcode or owning a Mac.
Once your app is ready, Bilt supports one-click publishing to the Apple App Store and Google Play, and it can export the underlying codebase to GitHub if you want a developer to take it further. Usage runs on a token or credit-based system, with one-time top-up purchases available in 5M, 10M, and 20M token blocks, and the free tier includes a monthly AI credit allotment. Bilt generates React Native and Expo application code; the specific backend and data-store options beyond that aren’t detailed on its public pages.
What AppGyver is built for.
AppGyver was a standalone visual, no-code app builder for web and mobile apps. As an independent brand and product it’s been discontinued, and its technology now operates as SAP Build Apps, a low-code app builder inside the broader SAP Build suite. SAP has also signaled that SAP Build Apps itself is being folded into a unified SAP Build packaging and pricing model, according to SAP community announcements.
Current SAP Build Apps marketing describes cloud functions for backend logic and integration with other SAP Business Technology Platform services. Existing AppGyver and SAP Build Apps customers keep access for the duration of their current contracts, per SAP community posts. The official SAP pricing page couldn’t be fetched directly for this comparison, so confirm exact current pricing and edition details on SAP’s own site rather than assuming from third-party summaries.

Where Sticklight fits next to Bilt and AppGyver.
Bilt and AppGyver both narrow the problem: Bilt to a single mobile app, AppGyver (now SAP Build Apps) to a low-code app inside an existing SAP deployment. Sticklight starts from a different premise. It’s built for professional web creators who want to go beyond a single mobile app or a single low-code component, turning a prompt into production-ready websites, apps, dashboards, CMS setups, and internal tools, and publishing that output as part of the same flow.
Sticklight is built by the Elementor team and powered by Claude, and it’s additive to WordPress and Elementor rather than a replacement for either. If you’re already working in that ecosystem, or you want a single platform with broader scope than a single mobile app or a single SAP deployment, that combination of production-ready full-stack output and an included publish step is the practical differentiator. AI agents are on Sticklight’s roadmap and aren’t a shipped feature today, so scope any comparison to current capabilities.
Choosing between Bilt, AppGyver, and Sticklight.
The right starting point depends on the shape of your project. If you need exactly one mobile app, fast, with App Store and Google Play publishing built in, Bilt is squarely in your lane. If your team is already standardized on SAP’s platform, with an existing SAP Business Technology Platform footprint, you have a reason to stay inside SAP Build Apps regardless of how the product has been repackaged. If your scope spans a website, an app, a dashboard, or an internal tool, and you want that output production-ready and published without stitching together separate tools, Sticklight is built for you.
A prototype that works for you alone isn’t done. It’s done when someone who’s never met you can use it without asking a single question.

Is Bilt vs AppGyver a fair comparison?
Not entirely. Bilt is a mobile-app-specific generator, while AppGyver was a broader visual app builder that now lives inside SAP Build Apps. They overlap in that both once targeted non-technical builders, but their current scope and ownership differ.
Does AppGyver still exist as a separate product?
No. AppGyver as an independent brand has been discontinued. Its technology now operates as SAP Build Apps within the SAP Build suite, and existing customers keep access for the duration of their current contracts, per SAP community announcements.
What does Bilt cost?
Bilt lists a Free plan at €0 per month, a Professional plan starting at €15/month introductory (€25/month standard), a Professional Plus plan starting at €30/month introductory (€50/month standard), and custom Enterprise pricing, all denominated in EUR on its official pricing page.
Where does Sticklight fit next to Bilt and AppGyver?
Sticklight is built for professional creators who need production-ready output across more than one surface, like a website plus a dashboard or an internal tool, published from the same prompt-driven flow, and built additively on top of WordPress and Elementor.
