Everything is free. Here is what costs money, and where.
Two free ways to build - this site's browser builder and the Appwright Android app - and an honest list of the fees Google Play charges on the way to a listing.
The browser builder on this site: free, no account
- Signed APK and Android App Bundle (AAB), unlimited builds, every option enabled
- All listing-asset tools: icon, screenshots, feature graphic, listing preview, listing text, QR code, palette, social kit, promo video
- Every publishing guide and the checklist
- Rebuilds when Google raises the target API level, with the same signing key so the update installs
Both files download from the last step of the builder. The app you download carries nothing of ours: no ads, no analytics beacon, no "built with" stamp.
The Appwright Android app: free, every feature
Appwright builds apps on the phone itself - from a website, an HTML page, a ZIP project or a description for the AI builder - and its integration guide lives on this site. Since 28 September 2026 there are no plans, no locked features and no upgrade prompts inside a build. Everything that used to sit behind a purchase is free:
- Play bundle (AAB) and signed APK, unlimited
- AdMob in the apps you build - your ad units, your revenue
- In-App Selling through Play Billing: one-time products and subscriptions
- Your own signing key, or the per-package key the app keeps for you
- Remote Update, unlimited - change app content without a Play release
- Push notifications through your own Firebase project
- Every native bridge and Capacitor plugin in the guide
- Nothing stamped on the result: no watermark, no badge, no attribution, in any generated app or export
What pays for it is a few ads inside the Appwright app itself - never inside the apps it builds. Appwright needs an internet connection to work.
Free · $0
Every feature above, for every app you build. Supported by a few ads inside Appwright.
Remove Ads · $2, once
No ads inside the Appwright app, forever. A one-time purchase through Google Play, not a subscription. It adds no features, because there are none to add.
Support Development · $6 a year
No ads, custom bug fixing for your apps, feature requests taken up, a priority support channel - and it keeps development going. Cancel anytime in Google Play.
Two things stay priced separately, unchanged
- AI Mints - the credits the AI builder spends when it generates or repairs an app. You pay for what the AI produces, nothing else.
- iOS build packs - for building the iPhone side of a project, priced per pack as before.
Bought Unlock or ProMax earlier?
Nothing changes for you. Unlock ($2) was Remove Ads and ProMax ($6 a year) was Support Development, sold under the old names; Google Play shows them as the products you bought, and they keep doing exactly what you paid for. The former free-Pro program for content creators is closed, because there is no longer a Pro to give away.
What you will pay elsewhere
| Item | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| APK + AAB (this site, or Appwright) | Free, unlimited | The AAB is the file Play requires. Instant download from the last step. |
| Google Play developer registration | US$25, once | Non-refundable. Requires identity verification; organisations need a D-U-N-S number (free, but can take weeks). |
| Closed testing period (personal accounts) | Time: 14 days minimum | 12 opted-in testers must stay enrolled the whole time. Not a fee, but it is the most common launch-date surprise. |
| Google's cut on sales | 15% on the first US$1M/year of digital goods; 30% above | Only for digital goods and subscriptions sold through Play Billing. Physical goods via your own checkout: 0% to Google. |
| OneSignal push | Free tier; paid above | Check current limits before relying on it. |
| Domain, hosting, SSL | Whatever you pay now | The app displays your live site; if the site goes down, so does the app. |
| Privacy policy | Free if you write it | Required. Our guide gives a structure; generators exist if you prefer. |
| Apple App Store | US$99/year + a different build | Not produced by the browser builder. Appwright sells iOS build packs for it. |
How this site is funded
Display advertising on these pages. That is the entire business model, and it is why the download contains no ads, no analytics beacon and no "built with" attribution - the trade is that you see ads while you're here, not in your product. Appwright works the same way: a few ads in the builder, none in what it builds.
Will any of this become paid?
What is free today stays free. Remove Ads and Support Development exist so that people who want an ad-free builder, or want to fund it, can - they are not gates in front of features, and no feature will be moved behind them.
Pricing questions
Is everything really free?
Yes. In Appwright every feature is free for every app you build: Play bundle and APK, AdMob in your apps, in-app selling, your own signing key, push, unlimited remote update, every bridge in the guide. Nothing is watermarked or badged. The app shows a few ads to pay for itself; AI Mints and iOS build packs are the only things bought per use. This site's browser builder is free too, with no account.
Is Remove Ads a subscription?
No. Remove Ads is a $2 one-time purchase through Google Play. Pay once and the Appwright app shows no ads, forever, on every phone signed into that Google account.
What does Support Development include?
For $6 a year: no ads inside Appwright, custom bug fixing for the apps you build with it, your feature requests taken up, a priority support channel, and the knowledge that you are keeping development going. It is a yearly subscription you can cancel anytime in Google Play; the app itself has no extra features to unlock because every feature is already free.
I bought Unlock or ProMax earlier. What happens to me?
Nothing changes. Unlock ($2) is the same product now called Remove Ads, and ProMax ($6 a year) is the same product now called Support Development. Google Play keeps your purchase under the name you bought it, and it keeps working exactly as it did.
Does Appwright work offline?
No. Appwright needs an internet connection: builds, the AI builder, purchases and the ads that fund the free version all go through the network. The apps it produces can be offline apps, but the builder itself cannot.
Does the browser builder on this site cost anything?
No. The APK and the AAB are free and unlimited, with no account, and the download carries no ads, tracking or attribution from us. Google's own US$25 one-time developer registration is paid to Google.
