The short answer
Macaly builds fast websites and simple web apps for founders and small businesses, with a built-in database and sign-ins, free hosting on macaly.app, and extras such as building over WhatsApp. Vibely also builds full-stack web apps, and adds native React Native + Expo apps on Pro and Business plus code you fully own — real React and TypeScript with GitHub sync, where Macaly apps stay on Macaly-managed hosting with no disclosed code export. Pick Macaly for a quick hosted site; pick Vibely for a product you plan to own and extend.

What Vibely adds that Macaly does not
Native mobile apps, same conversation
On Pro and Business, Vibely builds React Native + Expo apps alongside the web app, from the same prompt and the same project. Macaly is built for websites and web apps, with no native mobile output.
Code you own, not a hosted site
Vibely generates real React and TypeScript you can read, edit, sync to GitHub, and take anywhere. Macaly apps run on Macaly-managed hosting and a macaly.app domain unless you connect a custom one — the project itself stays on their platform.
One database and auth setup, shared everywhere
Connect Supabase to a Vibely project and the agent generates the database and auth around it, and that same setup carries over to the mobile build. Macaly’s built-in database covers forms, orders, bookings, and sign-ins for the web app only.

Switching to Vibely from Macaly
Vibely does not import a codebase built on another platform. You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.
Step 1
You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.
Start building freeStep 2
Connect Supabase to a project in a click and the agent takes it from there — tables, row-level security, and data access patterns generated from what your app actually needs. The Supabase integration is on Pro and Business.
Step 3
From the first message the output is real React and TypeScript, and you can connect that Vibely project to a GitHub repository and keep the two in sync from there. GitHub sync works on every plan.
Step 4
One-click publish to a live URL on every plan, with custom domains from Pro. On Pro and Business, Vibely builds React Native + Expo apps alongside the web app, from the same prompt and the same project.
Moving off Macaly
Vibely does not import a project built on another platform, so moving a Macaly app across means rebuilding it here rather than transferring it. Worth knowing before you start, not after.
