Borel vs Anything

Native SwiftUI, and a free plan you can build on.

Anything writes React Native apps and needs a paid plan to build. Borel writes native SwiftUI, runs it in the real iOS Simulator in your browser and lets you build on the free plan, with 5 credits every day, up to 30 a month.

Borel and Anything: questions

Anything generates React Native code with Expo for mobile apps. Borel writes native Swift and SwiftUI and builds each app with Xcode on Borel's Mac, so you get a native iPhone app rather than a cross-platform one.

On Borel, yes: the free plan gives 5 credits every day, up to 30 a month, and the iOS Simulator is free for everyone. On Anything, building needs a paid plan.

Borel streams the real iOS Simulator into your browser, so you see your app run the way iOS runs it. Anything shows a mobile app in a device frame in the browser.

Borel Pro is $16 a month billed yearly, or $20 a month. Anything's Pro plan is $19 a month billed yearly.

Yes. Borel Companion installs the real app on your iPhone from Windows or a Mac: a cable once, then Wi-Fi. A free Apple ID is enough for your own apps, up to three at a time, and Companion renews Apple's seven-day signature for you.

Yes. Borel builds your SwiftUI app and submits it to Apple from the browser on Pro, from $20 a month. Apple asks for its paid Developer Program for every App Store app, and the app you submit is the one you tested.

No. Borel runs Xcode on its own Mac and streams the iOS Simulator to your browser, so you can build, test and publish a native iPhone app from a Windows PC or a Mac. Borel Companion, for Windows and Mac, puts the app on your iPhone.
