Cicrew is an AI mobile app builder that takes an app idea from a plain-language description to a published iOS app (Google Play publishing is coming soon). An agent shapes the idea, creates the app's name, icon, and color palette, and designs the main screens before building a working app you can test. It guides App Store setup, listing, and upload under your own developer account, gives the app its own hosted landing page on a cicrew.com subdomain, and tracks usage, revenue, and crashes after launch. Higher plans add AI-generated ad copy and creative, campaign planning with human approval required before anything runs, and access to development/advertising advisors. Everything runs on one shared monthly credit balance instead of separate bills, and credits never expire when bought as a top-up.

Best for
Non-technical founders and solo builders who want to turn an app idea into a real, published iOS app — with paid features or subscriptions — without hiring a developer
Pricing
No free tier; Starter $20/mo (500 credits, 1 app); Builder $60/mo (2,000 credits, up to 3 apps, most popular); Studio $200/mo (8,000 credits, unlimited apps); credit top-ups ($25 for 500, $80 for 2,000) never expire

Pros

  • Takes an app from idea to a real, published App Store listing — design, build, and store setup guided end to end
  • You approve the plan before the build, and nothing is published or spent on ads without your approval

  • Can connect your own Claude/GPT API key to remove the AI-writing charge from your credit usage

FAQ

Do I need coding experience to build a mobile app with Cicrew?

No. You describe your app idea in plain language and Cicrew's agent handles the design and development.

Can I build apps for both iOS and Android?

iOS publishing is available now. Google Play (Android) publishing is coming soon.

What does it cost to build and run an app?

Plans start at $20/month for one app, including credits to design and build it. You can add more credits when needed, and store account fees are separate.

Who controls my app?

You do. You choose the design and features, manage your own accounts, and decide when to publish or run ads — nothing is published or spent without your approval.
