The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

a0.dev

Strengths

Generates a full React Native app and publishes it to the App Store and Google Play
Built-in monetization with subscriptions and one-time purchases
Convex backend and push notifications wired in

Limitations

Primarily a mobile app builder: it generates native iOS and Android apps, with web as a secondary target
Output is React Native on Expo, so you work within that stack rather than a framework of your choice

FlutterFlow

Strengths

Exports the full Flutter and Dart source code, so there is no vendor lock-in
Builds native iOS, Android and web apps from a single project
Built-in Firebase and Supabase integrations for data and authentication

Limitations

AI Gen requests are capped per plan (5 lifetime on the free plan, up to 500 per month on Business)
Real-time collaboration and GitHub sync require the Growth plan or higher
