Can you bring your own model or route between providers with Rork?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. Rork publishes public evidence of bring your own model and bring your own key (BYOK), and of routing tasks between models or providers rather than being locked to one. Evidence basis: Model choice starts on Auto, which picks the model and reasoning effort for each message, and paid plans can choose a model from the picker, with some models reserved for Pro or Max.

Entry priceRork Pro is $20 a month for 100 credits. Rork Max is $200 a month for 1,000 credits, up to $1,800 for 10,000. The free plan covers design mode only.Full pricing detail

Rork turns a description into a native mobile app in the browser. Its agent writes SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Vision Pro on cloud Macs with Xcode, Kotlin for Android or a React web app, builds and fixes compiler errors until the app runs in a streamed simulator, sets up backend, sign in and payments, and uploads to App Store Connect or Google Play. Plans run on credits, from $20 a month.

Rork, Inc. of San Francisco, founded by Levan Kvirkvelia and Daniel Dhawan and backed by a $2.8 million pre seed round led by a16z speedrun in 2025, sells an AI builder for mobile apps and says more than 100,000 people have built with it. Everything runs in the browser: a person describes the app in chat and the agent writes it as native SwiftUI for Apple devices, Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for Android, or a React web app, and one project can hold all three over a shared backend.

On Rork Max, each message gets a cloud Mac with Xcode: the agent writes SwiftUI, builds, reads the compiler errors, fixes them and builds again until the app compiles, then streams a real iOS Simulator to the browser. Design mode sketches three or four screens without code, Plan mode writes a plan that waits for a Build click, and Build mode is the default. The agent sets up Rork Cloud, a managed Postgres backend in beta, or Supabase or Firebase, adds sign in, RevenueCat or Stripe payments and push notifications, and stores other API keys as secrets.

When the app is ready, Rork builds and uploads it to App Store Connect and TestFlight from the customer's Apple account, signs Android bundles for Google Play internal testing and can promote them between tracks, hosts web apps on its own domain or a custom one, and syncs code both ways with GitHub, one commit per agent turn. An AI App Store reviewer checks the app against five guideline areas before submission. Expo projects can no longer be started, and existing ones are offered a rebuild in SwiftUI.

Pricing runs on credits. The free plan covers design mode only, Rork Pro is $20 a month for 100 credits and adds building for iPhone, Android and web, and Rork Max runs from $200 a month for 1,000 credits to $1,800 for 10,000, adding iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, games and widgets; extra credits cost $0.22 each, simulator time is metered by the minute, and failed builds still use credits. Rork publishes no security attestation and offers no single sign on; projects are private, with editor and viewer roles for collaborators, and the company is US based with no region choice.

It fits founders and small teams who want a native iPhone or Android app in the stores from a description, with the code theirs on GitHub. It fits less well for companies that need SOC 2, single sign on, team billing or an API to drive the builder, or for teams who want the agent to test the app itself, since testing in the streamed simulator is left to the person.

Integrations

App Store Connect and TestFlight through the customer's Apple developer account, Google Play internal testing and track promotion, and two way GitHub sync through Rork's GitHub app. Backends on Rork Cloud, Supabase or Firebase; sign in through Rork Auth or Supabase Auth; payments through RevenueCat, Stripe, Superwall or Adapty; push through FCM and APNs; other APIs such as Airtable, Notion or Google Sheets through stored secrets. Imports from GitHub, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit or a live website.

In practice

A personal trainer describes a workout tracking app. Rork Max writes it in SwiftUI on a cloud Mac, fixes two compiler errors on its own, and streams the working app to her browser, where she taps through it in a real iOS Simulator.

A founder asks Rork to add subscriptions. The agent adds RevenueCat through the monetization panel, wires a paywall into the app, and the founder submits the new build to TestFlight from her Apple developer account, entering the two factor code herself.

A team plans a habit app in Plan mode, reviews the plan card, then presses Build. The finished iPhone and Android apps share one backend on Rork Cloud, and every agent turn lands as a commit in the team's GitHub repository.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Full
The agent works in the customer's outside accounts. It builds and uploads apps to App Store Connect and TestFlight through the customer's Apple developer account, signs Android bundles, uploads them to Google Play internal testing and promotes releases between tracks, and keeps code in two way sync with GitHub through its GitHub app. It sets up Supabase or Firebase backends, RevenueCat or Stripe payments and push through FCM and APNs, and stores keys for Airtable, Notion or any other API as secrets. Sourcedocs.rork.com/store-guides/publish-app-store.mdread 2026-11-08
Workflow Orchestration	Full
Each Rork Max message runs a build loop on a cloud Mac: the agent writes SwiftUI, runs the build, reads the compiler errors, fixes them and builds again until the app compiles, then shows it in a simulator. Design mode draws screens without code and Plan mode writes a plan with goals tracked until their completion condition is met, both waiting for a Build click. One project can hold iPhone, Android and web apps sharing a single chat and backend. Sourcerork.com/maxread 2026-11-08
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Partial
The agent reads the project's own files, including edits a person saved by hand, on each message. Uploaded images, PDFs, video, audio and 3D files sit in an assets library and can be attached again to any message, up to 5 GB each on paid plans. It can also search the web or read API documentation from a pasted link. No index or knowledge base persists outside the project's own files. Sourcedocs.rork.com/features/assets.mdread 2026-11-08
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Full
Plan mode shows a review card and builds nothing until a person presses Build. Every answer is a saved version with a diff of what changed, and a person can undo, edit an earlier message or revert to a past version after a confirmation. Rork asks before creating a cloud backend, and a person starts every App Store submission and enters Apple's two factor code. Reverting does not pull back an app that has already been published. Sourcedocs.rork.com/features/plan-mode.mdread 2026-11-08
Security, Identity & Governance	Partial
Projects are private, and collaborators join as editors or viewers, spending the owner's credits. Apple credentials are encrypted in a browser vault, and stored App Store Connect keys are encrypted. The privacy policy names access controls, encryption in transit and monitoring, and lists subprocessors such as Supabase, Stripe, Sentry and E2B. Rork holds no published security attestation and offers no single sign on. Sourcedocs.rork.com/collaborate/share-a-project.mdread 2026-11-08
Observability & Auditability	Partial
Every agent turn is saved as a version showing the diff, the model used, the credits spent and the context size, and with GitHub sync each turn becomes a commit. A logs panel shows the running app's log, warning and error lines, build and upload stages appear in the chat, and an analytics view charts message activity and RevenueCat revenue. There is no audit log of who did what across a team. Sourcedocs.rork.com/features/code-and-logs.mdread 2026-11-08
Memory & State Persistence	Partial
Once a person approves a design, Rork writes it to a design file in the project, and the agent reads that file on later changes so new screens keep the same look. The chat history is committed alongside the code at every turn. Beyond the design file, there is no rules file or memory store that carries preferences or lessons from one project or session into the next. Sourcedocs.rork.com/features/design-mode.mdread 2026-11-08
Deployment & Data Residency	Not documented
Rork runs as a hosted service on cloud Macs and emulators from the United States, using providers in the US and other countries under standard contractual clauses, with no region choice and no self hosted or private deployment. Web apps it builds are hosted on its own domain or a custom one. Paid plans export the code to GitHub, and apps and backends keep running after a subscription ends. Sourcerork.com/privacyread 2026-11-08
Prebuilt Agents / Templates / Packs	Partial
Rork offers no template library. A new project can start by remixing another user's published app from the explore screen, cloning an existing project, or importing from GitHub, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit or a live website. Those starting points are other people's work or the customer's own, so each still has to be shaped by the agent into the app being built. Sourcedocs.rork.com/introduction/build-your-first-app.mdread 2026-11-08
Triggers & Channel Coverage	Partial
Work starts in chat, in the web app or the Rork Max iPhone app with voice input and a message queue. When the running app throws an error, a Fix with Rork prompt appears, and an auto send setting passes errors straight to the agent. New commits in a connected GitHub repository raise a notice that a person pulls in with one click. The agent has no schedules or webhooks of its own; those features belong to the apps it builds. Sourcedocs.rork.com/features/undo-and-history.mdread 2026-11-08
Model Flexibility & Routing	Full
Model choice starts on Auto, which picks the model and reasoning effort for each message, and paid plans can choose a model from the picker, with some models reserved for Pro or Max. The India only Start plan uses light models chosen automatically. For the apps it builds, Rork's AI Cloud offers models from dozens of labs at provider cost with no markup, and apps can use the customer's own keys through secrets. Sourcedocs.rork.com/features/agent-modes.mdread 2026-11-08
APIs / SDKs / MCP Extensibility	Not documented
Rork has no public API, SDK, command line tool or MCP server for driving the builder from outside. Projects connect outward through GitHub sync, which moves code in and out of the customer's repository, and through imports from other builders. Everything else, from starting a project to publishing an app, happens in Rork's browser app or its iPhone app. Sourcedocs.rork.com/import/import-from-github.mdread 2026-11-08
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Partial
Builds check themselves: the agent compiles, reads the errors and fixes them until the app builds. An AI App Store reviewer checks the app against five guideline areas using its source and App Store Connect data, advising without blocking, and when started from chat it can fix issues and check again in the same turn, up to 40 reviews a day on iOS. There are no automated tests of the app's behavior. Sourcedocs.rork.com/ai-app-store-reviewer.mdread 2026-11-08
Browser / Computer-use	Not documented
A real iOS Simulator runs on a cloud Mac and streams to the browser with touch input forwarded, and a cloud Android emulator does the same, but a person drives them. Screenshots and 60 second recordings from the simulator can be attached to the chat, and selecting an element sends its name and place in the code. The agent itself does not tap through the simulator or a web page. Sourcedocs.rork.com/features/simulator.mdread 2026-11-08

Pricing

Rork Pro is $20 a month for 100 credits. Rork Max is $200 a month for 1,000 credits, up to $1,800 for 10,000. The free plan covers design mode only.

Monthly plans that include a pool of credits, spent per agent message and build and per minute of simulator or emulator time, with top ups on paid plans.

Free tier

Included quota

Free includes 35 design credits a month. Rork Pro includes 100 credits a month, and Rork Max from 1,000 to 10,000 credits a month by tier.

What is public

Plan prices and monthly credits for Free, Pro and the four Max tiers, top up pricing, simulator and emulator rates, and what each plan can build.

Billing mechanics

Monthly subscriptions with credits resetting from the date of first purchase, plus prepaid top ups by card. Custom plans by contacting support.

Cost watchouts

Failed builds still use credits. Simulator time costs 0.2 credits a minute and emulator time 0.1. Collaborators spend the project owner's credits. Publishing needs the customer's own Apple developer and Google Play accounts.

Variable cost rationale

Every agent message, build and minute of simulator or emulator time draws on credits, and failed builds still consume them, so cost follows how much building and testing a project needs. Plans reset monthly, top ups at $0.22 a credit never expire, and the AI Cloud used by finished apps bills at provider cost in the same credits.

Additional watchouts

No team plan or single sign on, and the free plan cannot build or publish an app. Rork's FAQ page describes older plan contents than its pricing page and docs.

Overage / add-ons

Extra credits cost $0.22 each in packs from 25 to 1,000, available only on paid plans and kept until used; auto top up adds $20 at a time.

Sales call required

No, self serve available

Free / trial

Free plan for design mode only, with 35 design credits a month and at most 5 a day; no trial of the paid plans.

Lowest paid plan

Rork Pro at $20 a month for 100 credits

Commercial notes

Rork is sold by Rork, Inc. of San Francisco, which raised a $2.8 million pre seed round in 2025 and says more than 100,000 people have built with it.

Key ambiguities

The FAQ still describes Rork Pro as the React Native and Expo plan and says Max cannot build Android or web apps, while the pricing page and docs say otherwise.

Cancellation / refund

Monthly plans; apps and backends keep running after a subscription is cancelled.

Support SLA / resale

Rork Pro includes email support and Rork Max priority chat support.

Missing data

Credit cost per agent message or build, and custom plan pricing.
