Best FlutterFlow Alternatives in 2026

FlutterFlow is a visual builder for Flutter apps: you lay out screens, connect Firebase, Supabase or your own API, and deploy to the App Store, Google Play and the web. Basic is $39 a month. If you would rather describe the app than lay it out, or need a web app with its backend included, here are five alternatives.

Key takeaways

  • FlutterFlow builds Flutter apps in a visual editor and deploys to the App Store, Google Play and the web; Basic is $39 a month.
  • Its data and sign-in come from Firebase, Supabase or your own API.
  • Adalo also publishes to both stores, from $65 a month; Bubble, Lovable and Glide build for the web.
  • Fabricate builds web apps from a description, with the database and sign-in in the app's own code. Building and previewing are free; publishing is on Pro and Max.

Why Are People Looking for FlutterFlow Alternatives?

  • The Backend Is Separate

    FlutterFlow connects to Firebase, Supabase or your own API for data and sign-in, so the database is another account to set up and pay for.

Fabricate

We make this

Best for: Apps whose backend you want in your own code

Fabricate builds the screens and the backend together: server routes, a database and sign-in, written as ordinary code in your app. Serving a published app is part of the plan, not a meter; AI inside an app, such as answers and document reading, is on Pro and Max and paid from your credits. Every app is opened in a real browser and checked before it can be published.

Checks before you publish

Fabricate's security check on an app: one problem to fix and two quality warnings, each with a Fix in chat button
Each finding comes with a Fix in chat button. A real Fabricate screen, shown with sample data.

What it does well

  • The backend in the app's own code
  • Checked in a real browser before it can be published
  • The same models on every plan

How to Move a FlutterFlow App to Fabricate

  1. 1

    Export your tables

    Save each table from Firebase, Supabase or the database behind your FlutterFlow app as a CSV file, and list the screens, roles and rules the app has.

  2. 2

    Describe the app

    The screens, who signs in, who can see and change what, and the steps each record goes through.

  3. 3

    Ask for an import page

    Ask for a page, behind your own sign-in, that adds the rows of each CSV file to the app's own database.

  4. 4

    Test it in the preview

    Sign up, save and edit data, and check who can see what, before anyone else does.

  5. 5

    Put it online

    On Pro, one press of Publish gives it its own address to share, after the same browser check.

Chat

What each one does well, and the kind of project it suits best.

  1. Number 2

    Adalo

    Best for: Phone apps in the stores

    • Native iOS and Android

  2. Number 3

    Bubble

    Best for: Visual no-code apps

    Bubble is a visual editor with a built-in database, user accounts, privacy rules and a Stripe plugin. Apps run only on Bubble: there is no code export, and data leaves as CSV.

    • Visual editor
    • Database and accounts
    • Stripe plugin

    Where Bubble beats Fabricate

    If you would rather lay out every screen and workflow by hand than describe it, Bubble's editor is built for that.

  3. Number 4

    Lovable

    Best for: Design-led web apps

    • AI-built web apps

  4. Number 5

    Glide

    Best for: Team apps from a spreadsheet

    Builds business apps for your team with an AI agent, from a prompt, a spreadsheet, a document or an image, on one database per project. The free plan builds but publishes no apps; Basic, at $25 a month, publishes 2.

    • Starts from a spreadsheet
    • An AI agent builds the app
    • Apps for your team

    Where Glide beats Fabricate

    If the app is for your own team and starts from a spreadsheet, Glide is built around that, and it shows a mockup on sample data to approve first.

FlutterFlow and its alternatives: store apps, or web apps with the backend built in

FlutterFlow is for apps that live in the App Store and Google Play. You lay out screens in its editor, add logic, connect Firebase, Supabase or your own API, and deploy to the stores and the web. On Basic and up you can download the Flutter code and keep working on it.

That suits a team with a developer, or a founder who wants a native app and is happy to set up a backend. It is more than many business apps need: a booking tool, a client portal or a tracker for staff works in a phone browser and does not need a store listing.

Adalo is the closest alternative for store apps without code. Bubble builds web apps in a visual editor with its own database. Lovable and Glide build from a description: Lovable web apps on Lovable Cloud, Glide apps for your team.

Fabricate builds web apps from a description, with the backend in the app's own code. The backend is written into the app's own code: server routes in a Durable Object on Cloudflare Workers, with its own SQLite database. Every app is opened in a real browser and checked before it can be published.

Frequently asked questions

How much does FlutterFlow cost?
Free has 2 projects and 5 AI requests in all. Basic is $39 a month, Growth $80 for the first seat and $55 for the second, and Business $150 for the first seat and $85 each for seats 2 to 5, billed monthly; yearly billing saves about 25%.
Can Fabricate publish to the App Store and Google Play?
No. Fabricate builds web apps: they open from their link in any phone or computer browser, and anyone can add one to their home screen. If the app must be in the stores, FlutterFlow or Adalo publishes there.
Do I need Firebase or Supabase with Fabricate?
No. The backend is written into the app's own code: server routes in a Durable Object on Cloudflare Workers, with its own SQLite database, so there is no separate database account to set up.
Can I get the code?
From FlutterFlow, as Flutter code, from Basic. From Fabricate, as React and TypeScript: On Pro and Max, see, edit and download the code, or send it to GitHub.
Can I bring my data across?
Export your tables as CSV files, then ask Fabricate for an import page, behind your own sign-in, that adds the rows to the app's own database. Views, forms and rules are rebuilt from your description, not copied.
