Build apps without paying
markup on AI
An AI-powered app builder that works like Lovable or Replit — but you bring your own API key. No credits. No markup. No lock-in.
Developers are getting excited
“I've been burned by credit-based AI builders before. BYOK with transparent token costs is exactly what the dev community needs.”

“The concept is exactly what I've been looking for. No markup, no lock-in, just my API key and clean code I can own.”
Marcus Rivera
Full-Stack Developer
“Being able to download and deploy anywhere is a must for me. Can't wait to try this when it launches.”

See how we stack up
A side-by-side look at what matters most when choosing an AI app builder.
AI builders are exploiting developers
The current generation of AI app builders hides costs behind credit systems, locks you into their platform, and gives you zero visibility into what you're actually spending.
Hidden token usage
Most AI builders bury your actual AI costs inside credits. You never know how many tokens you burned — or how much margin they're taking.
Credit-based pricing with markup
Buy 100 credits for $20, use them in a week, realize each prompt cost you 10× what OpenAI charges. That's not a deal.
Vendor lock-in
Your code lives on their servers. Their hosting. Their rules. Want to leave? Too bad — export is limited or nonexistent.
No cost transparency
How much did that last feature cost in tokens? Which model generated it? Nobody tells you. You just watch your credits drain.
A builder that respects you
We strip away the unnecessary middleman. Connect your API key, build with powerful AI tools, and keep full control over every aspect of your project.
Bring your own API key
Core differenceConnect your OpenRouter key. Every token is billed directly to your account. Zero middleman. Zero markup.
Direct billing with providers
You pay OpenRouter (or your provider) directly. We never touch your money. The price you see is the price you pay.
Full visibility into token usage
Every prompt, every response, every token. Check your own OpenRouter logs. Complete transparency, always.
Download and own your code
Your code is yours. Download it as a clean project. Run it locally. Deploy to Vercel, Railway, or a $5 VPS.
No forced hosting
We don't host your app. We don't charge for hosting. You choose where your app lives — forever.
Three steps. No surprises.
We designed the simplest possible workflow for building apps with AI — without the hidden costs and lock-in.
Connect your API key
Paste your OpenRouter (or compatible) API key. That's it. We validate it and you're in.
import { KodeingAI } from 'kodeing' const client = new KodeingAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_KEY })
Build your app
Describe what you want. Our AI generates production-ready code in real-time. Iterate with natural language.
// Just describe what you need const app = await client.build({ prompt: "SaaS dashboard with auth", stack: "nextjs", style: "modern dark theme" })
Download and deploy
Get a clean, well-structured codebase. Run locally, push to GitHub, deploy anywhere. It's your code.
// Download your project await app.download('./my-saas') // Or deploy directly cd my-saas && npx vercel

}Built different, on purpose
Every feature is designed to give you more control, more transparency, and more freedom than the alternatives.
Full cost transparency
Every API call is logged. Every token counted. Check your provider dashboard for exact numbers. No estimates, no surprises.
Zero markup pricing
We don't resell AI. You pay providers directly at their rates. Claude, GPT-4, Llama — your choice, your cost.
Own your code
Download clean, well-documented code. MIT licensed. No proprietary runtime. No vendor dependencies you can't remove.
No hosting lock-in
Deploy to Vercel, Netlify, Railway, a VPS, or your own servers. We don't force you into our infrastructure.
Privacy-first
Your API key stays in your browser session. We never store it server-side. Your prompts are between you and the model.
Developer-first design
Built by developers, for developers. Clean UX, powerful CLI, proper Git workflow, and sensible defaults throughout.
