Interface
Our assessment in one line
The most unusual proposition in the index, and the one whose headline promise we got wrong. AppMaster does not interpret your project at runtime, it compiles it, and we used to recommend it on the strength of source you could download and walk away with. The vendor's own pricing FAQ says otherwise, verbatim: "Downloading source code available only for accounts with Enterprise Plan. Contact us to request Enterprise plan." Startup and Startup+ get database and file-storage export only. Business, from USD 955 a month, adds backend binaries and Docker images. Source is quote-only Enterprise. For every buyer below a custom contract, the thing we recommended it for does not exist, which is what 2.4 on code ownership now reflects. What survives is real: compiled Go services behind a 4.3 scalability mark, 4.3 on speed, and generated apps that come with documented REST APIs. Note which API we rate, though. The generated apps expose documented REST APIs; AppMaster itself publishes no API for driving the platform and no MCP server, and the API and MCP axis rates the platform, not its output, which is why it sits at 2.6. The interface is dense and dated, design output is plain, and the entry paid tier starts at USD 175 a month billed yearly, or USD 195 billed monthly, the highest entry price in the index.
