Head to head
FlutterFlow vs Rocket.new (2026)
FlutterFlow takes the overall rating, but this pairing is decided on axes rather than totals: FlutterFlow leads 6 of the ten, Rocket.new leads 2.
FlutterFlow
The serious answer for cross-platform mobile, if you can handle Flutter
3.9out of 5
The best mobile tool in this index, and one of the strongest agent stories on the roster. FlutterFlow generates genuine Flutter projects, exports the source on paid plans, and produces interfaces that look designed rather than generated, taking 4.3 on both design and integrations. It also ships an official documented MCP server plus a CLI that lets Claude Code, Gemini CLI or Codex create and edit real projects, which is why the API and MCP axis sits at 4.3 rather than among its weaknesses. Disclose the gates before you budget: CLI access is a Business-tier feature at USD 150 for the first seat, GitHub Integration starts at Growth rather than at the entry tier, so a repository workflow costs about twice the headline price, and AI generation on the Free tier is 5 requests per lifetime, not per month. The vendor builds "Mobile, Web, & Desktop Apps" and ships a Local Run Desktop Emulator, so desktop belongs in its coverage alongside iOS, Android and web. The catch is that you inherit Flutter: web output is heavy and scores 2.8 on SEO, and debugging eventually means reading Dart.

Rocket.new
Mobile-minded, web-capable, and still finding its footing
3.5out of 5
Buy only if mobile is the point. Rocket.new is the clearest answer in this index to a specific question: what if the output needs to be an app store app rather than a website? It generates Flutter and React Native targets from the same brief, the screens look genuinely native rather than a web page in a shell, and for a team with no mobile engineers that is a real shortcut. Everything else is mid-table or below. Reliability is shaky, the SEO axis score of 3.0 is among the weakest here, and the credit model prices exploration higher than it should.

Axis by axis
The leader on each axis is set in bold. The weight column is what that axis contributes to the overall rating, so a win on reliability counts for more than five times a win on code ownership.

What each one costs

Free plan to build and preview. Paid plans are Basic at USD 39 a month, then Growth and Business, which price the first seat higher than the ones after it. Enterprise and Education are quoted separately.
Basic plan. Seat pricing is tiered above that: Growth is USD 80 for the first seat and USD 55 for the second, Business is USD 150 for the first seat and USD 85 for seats 2 to 5.

Rocket.new
Free plan with 20 trial credits. Three paid tiers, each a flat monthly platform fee with unlimited team members: Pro at $25, Rocket at $50 and Booster at $250, carrying 100, 250 and 1,500 monthly credits respectively. The vendor's page shows a bare dollar sign and never states the currency.
Pro plan. The vendor's page shows a bare dollar sign and does not state the currency anywhere. Rocket is $50 a month and Booster is $250 a month. A Yearly toggle advertises save 20%, but the yearly figures were not captured, so no yearly number should be published.
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | Free |
| Pro | $25 |
| Rocket | $50 |
| Booster | $250 |
Prices are shown in the currency each vendor publishes, never converted. Sorting by price groups the currencies and orders within each one, so it is not an exact cross-currency comparison.
We list the plans we could verify on the vendor's own pricing page. Where a plan exists but its price was not published in a form we could capture, the row says so rather than carrying a number we cannot source.
Which one should you choose
Pick FlutterFlow if your project looks like teams that need one codebase for ios, android and web with a real exit path to flutter source. Its strongest axes in this pairing are reliability, integrations, design quality. Avoid it for anyone who needs a fast public website, or who has never met a widget tree.
Pick Rocket.new if your project looks like teams who need a credible mobile app prototype and do not have mobile engineers. Its strongest axes here are seo and geo, agent performance. Avoid it for web-first products, content sites, or anything where organic search is the growth channel.
And the dissenting notes, which we publish rather than average away: on FlutterFlow, The Spanish edition editor argued the learning curve is understated for non-developers, who often stall the first time a widget tree needs restructuring by hand. On Rocket.new, One panellist argued the overall score understates it because our weights punish a mobile tool: SEO and GEO carries thirteen percent, which is close to irrelevant for a product shipped through app stores. He proposed a use-case weighted variant. We declined for launch, because a single published weighting is what makes the index comparable, but the point is fair and we say so on the review page rather than burying it.
