Create.xyz is for Web.
Natively is for Mobile.
If Create.xyz is the "Midjourney for Web Components," then Natively is the "Midjourney for Mobile Screens." Stop trying to force web code into a mobile container. Build real native apps with React Native and Expo.
The Web Builder
Perfect for generating React components, dashboards, and websites. It speaks the language of the browser: DOM, HTML, and CSS.
<div> and <span>The Mobile Builder
Engineered specifically for iOS and Android. It speaks the language of the device: Native Views, Touchables, and Device APIs.
<View> and <Text> (React Native)Why can't I just use a web builder for mobile?
You can wrap a website in a WebView, but it will never feel like a real app. Users expect smooth gestures, offline capabilities, and deep integration with their device.
Performance Lag
Web DOM manipulation is slower on mobile devices. React Native uses a bridge to communicate directly with native iOS/Android UI components, ensuring 60fps smooth scrolling.
No Device Access
Web apps struggle to access the camera, gyroscope, biometric auth (FaceID), or push notifications reliably. Natively gives you full access to these hardware features.
Navigation UX
Web navigation (URLs) feels clunky in an app. Natively uses stack and tab navigation that preserves screen state and mimics the operating system's natural flow.
Feature Comparison
Choosing the right tool for the right platform.
The "Create.xyz experience" but for React Native
We brought the magic of text-to-component to the mobile world. Natively uses the same underlying LLM advancements (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5) but fine-tuned on mobile development patterns.
AI-Generated Layouts
Describe a "profile screen with a circular avatar and a tab view for photos," and get perfect Flexbox layouts instantly.
Export to Expo
One click to download your entire project. Deploy via Expo Launch to the App Store and Play Store. Run `npx expo start` and see your AI-created app on your physical device in seconds.
Full-Stack Backend
Unlike simple frontend generators, Natively provisions a real Supabase backend for your data, auth, and storage needs.
Native Components
We use real native UI components, not HTML imitations. Your buttons, inputs, and lists feel 100% authentic to the OS.
Real-time Preview
See changes instantly as you type. Iterate on your mobile UI design just as fast as you would on the web.
Type-Safe Code
The generated code is clean TypeScript. No spaghetti code. It's readable, maintainable, and ready for professional use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Create.xyz export to mobile apps?
Create.xyz is primarily optimized for React web components. While you could technically wrap the output in a WebView container (like Capacitor), it often results in suboptimal performance and user experience compared to a truly native app built with React Native, which is what Natively provides.
Does Natively use the same AI as Create.xyz?
Both platforms likely utilize state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4. However, the key difference lies in the "system prompting" and fine-tuning. Natively's AI is specifically trained on mobile design patterns, React Native libraries, and mobile-specific navigation flows.
What about the backend? Do I need to build my own API?
No! Natively integrates directly with Supabase to provide a full backend out of the box. You get a real PostgreSQL database, Authentication (email/password, social login), Storage for file uploads, and Edge Functions for server-side logic. It's not just a frontend prototype; it's a fully functional stack ready for users. Learn more about our mobile app creation process.
Do I own the source code?
Yes, 100%. Unlike other "no-code" tools that lock you into their platform, Natively generates standard React Native code that you can download, modify, and keep forever. You can export your project to GitHub or download a ZIP file at any time. You are not renting your app; you are building your intellectual property.
How do I get my app into the App Store?
For Android, we provide a one-click APK builder directly in the dashboard, so you can download and install your app immediately. For iOS (and publishing to stores), we integrate with Expo Launch. You simply push your code to GitHub (which we help you do), and then use Expo Launch to submit to TestFlight and the App Store and Play Store without needing a Mac or Xcode. See our APK builder guide for more details.
Can I use Natively and Create.xyz together?
Absolutely! Many teams use Create.xyz to build their web marketing site or admin dashboard, and use Natively to build their customer-facing iOS and Android applications. They complement each other perfectly in a modern startup stack. Explore our text-to-app capabilities to see how easy it is to build mobile apps.
Is the code production ready?
Yes. Natively generates clean, modular TypeScript code. We include essential mobile libraries for navigation, icons, and data fetching out of the box. You can build the APK/IPA files directly from the source code.
