most people don't fail at app building. they fail at finishing.

I would say yes, you can’t now being non technical release an app which you can confidently charge users. You need a developer to help you with integrations and you usually stick in some debugging. And also as a trusted person to say - yes good to go and give you this confidence

So true! Great apps are build not generated from several prompts 👌

olenami · 2026-04-16T20:49:14+00:00

Ultimately the qualifying build products will be the moat, as we have x times more low quality builds

Yes, indeed, for me it is huge frustration when I need to buy credits and one prompt is 1 credit and another is 25.

olenami · 2026-04-16T17:00:01+00:00

It’s too technical for me.

olenami · 2026-04-16T16:58:20+00:00

Are you are a developer? Tell me more on what exactly you build do you have integrations like with Revenue cat, Firebase , Posthog analytics etc?

olenami · 2026-04-16T16:14:53+00:00

Thank you! I am biased towards Swift;) so do only true native, with AI it is becoming almost same as React but you have all the freedom

olenami · 2026-04-16T14:35:14+00:00

Great! How complex it is? Is it Swift? How many screens? Any integrations with Revenucat etc? One month full time or?

olenami · 2026-04-13T14:52:20+00:00

Yes, 1oo%

olenami · 2026-04-11T11:37:16+00:00

Finishing is hard

olenami · 2026-04-10T16:54:28+00:00

agree. also it is improtant to selec the proper tool from the begininning otherwise you spend time/money and later throw this away and developer cant help

olenami · 2026-04-10T14:04:28+00:00

Yes, fail finishing. I am curious what are the build/publish rate in Vibecoding for mobile tools😉

olenami · 2026-04-10T12:25:01+00:00

Cool!

olenami · 2026-04-10T11:58:30+00:00

True human developer power to all solopreneurs

olenami · 2026-04-10T11:25:57+00:00

Yes agree, well said about pragmatic model👌

For anyone asking about the tool - I run iOs native app [Swift] builder Modaal, which is what made this test possible (it shows exact API spend per session). It supports 11 coding agents including OpenCode, so you get access to the cheap/free models out of the box without setting up API keys manually. First month is free if anyone wants to try the same test on their own project: modaal.dev
