Create.xyz vs Bilt: comparing two AI app builders
If you’re comparing Create.xyz (now branded Anything) and Bilt, you’re likely a founder looking for a prompt-based way to ship a mobile app without hiring a development team. Both platforms turn natural-language descriptions into working app code, but they differ in output format, publishing flow, and pricing structure.
Here’s what each tool actually does, based on their own pricing and feature pages, and where you might want a broader platform if you’re building more than a single mobile app.
- Create.xyz generates mobile apps, websites, and tools from a prompt, with a Free plan and paid tiers starting at $19 per month.
- Bilt is focused specifically on React Native/Expo mobile app codebases, with a Free plan and paid tiers starting around €15 to €25 per month.
- Bilt streams a live preview to a phone without requiring Xcode or a Mac, and supports one-click publishing to the Apple App Store and Google Play.
- Create.xyz supports integration with 40+ third-party services and offers code export.
- Sticklight, built by the Elementor team and powered by Claude, generates production-ready full-stack output (sites, apps, dashboards, CMS, and internal tools) from a single prompt and is additive to an existing WordPress or Elementor workflow.
What Create.xyz and Bilt each do
Create.xyz is an AI application-generation platform that turns text prompts into mobile apps, websites, and tools, with integration support for third-party services including GPT-5. Its product interface currently shows the brand name “Anything” rather than “Create.xyz,” reflecting a company rebrand in progress. The create.xyz domain still hosts the product and its pricing page, so this comparison uses that name.
Bilt is an AI prompt-based platform built for one job: generating a React Native/Expo mobile app codebase from natural-language descriptions. It’s aimed at non-technical founders who want to build and publish a mobile app, streams a live preview to your phone during development, and supports export to GitHub.

| Publish / hosting | App Store submission support | One-click publishing to Apple App Store and Google Play | Publish included as part of the Prompt to Build to Publish flow |
| Best for | Founders wanting one tool across app, site, and tool prototypes | Non-technical founders focused specifically on a mobile app | Professional creators wanting full-stack, production-ready output alongside WordPress/Elementor |
| Entry pricing | Free plan; Pro at $19/month (20,000 credits) | Free plan; Professional at €15/month introductory (€25/month standard) | Additive to your WordPress/Elementor stack |
Pricing and plan structure
Create.xyz’s pricing runs four tiers: a Free plan at $0 per month, a Pro plan at $19 per month with 20,000 credits (annual billing saves $60 a year), a Max plan at $199 per month with 220,000 credits (annual billing saves $480 a year), and a custom Teams plan you reach through an inquiry form. Storage scales from 50GB on the free tier up to 150GB on Max.
Bilt’s plans run in EUR rather than USD: a Free plan at €0 per month, a Professional plan at €15 per month introductory (€25 standard), and a Professional Plus plan at €30 per month introductory (€50 standard). An Enterprise plan is available on custom billing, and Bilt also sells one-time token top-ups in 5M, 10M, and 20M increments on top of your monthly credit allotment.
Feature depth and workflow
Create.xyz’s feature set reaches beyond a single app type: on its Max tier you get parallel AI agent execution and visual QA testing, plus integration with more than 40 third-party services. That breadth suits builders prototyping across formats rather than committing to one output type.
Bilt is narrower by design. Its workflow centers on describing an app, previewing it live on your phone without needing Xcode or a Mac, and publishing directly to both major app stores from inside the platform. For a founder focused specifically on a mobile app, that narrower scope removes some of the decisions a broader tool would present.
My eye caught the extra pixel of padding before I could explain why it bothered me, and that instinct took years to build.

Where Sticklight fits
Create.xyz and Bilt both solve a specific problem: turning a prompt into an app. Sticklight, built by the Elementor team and powered by Claude, works from a broader brief. Instead of one output type, it takes your prompt through to production-ready websites, apps, dashboards, CMS, and internal tools, and publishes that output as part of the same flow.
If you’re already working inside WordPress or Elementor, Sticklight is additive rather than a replacement: it sits alongside that stack instead of asking you to move off it. AI agents are on Sticklight’s roadmap, not a shipped feature today, so what you get right now is breadth of production-ready output from one prompt plus a publish step that’s already built in, not agent automation.
