Macaly alternative
Web, mobile, and code you keep
Build the web app, then ship the same product as a native mobile app — with real React and TypeScript you own, pushed to your own GitHub repo whenever you want it.

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.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Vibely a good alternative to Macaly?
Both build full-stack web apps with a database and auth included. Vibely adds native mobile apps (React Native + Expo) and generates code you fully own and can sync to GitHub — Macaly apps run on Macaly-managed hosting, and code export or GitHub sync are not part of its published feature set.
Can I build mobile apps with Vibely?
Yes, on the Pro and Business plans. Vibely generates React Native + Expo apps from the same prompt-driven workflow as web apps, sharing the same database and auth. Macaly is scoped to websites and web apps, with no native mobile output.
Do I own the code Vibely generates?
Yes, completely. Vibely generates real React and TypeScript you can read, edit, sync to GitHub, and host anywhere. Macaly’s published docs describe hosting on macaly.app or a connected custom domain, not a codebase you take with you.
How does Vibely pricing compare to Macaly?
Both have a free tier and a $25/month Pro plan. Macaly’s own pricing page, read on 17 September 2026, listed a free tier with 3M monthly credits and 1GB of traffic and database, and a $350/month Agency plan for client workspaces — check it again before deciding, since vendor pricing moves. Vibely is 5 credits a month free, 100 credits on Pro at $25/month, and 100 credits on Business at $50/month with a shared team pool.
Does Macaly have features Vibely does not?
Yes — Macaly supports building or editing a site through a WhatsApp conversation, voice input, and turning an existing live site into a Macaly site via web scraping. Vibely’s equivalents are built-in image generation and native mobile output from the same project.
