App Builders
Prompt-to-app tools that start from a written spec and produce a running web app. Each one is queued to build a CRUD app with login, and a landing page with a waitlist.
In one paragraph
ShipRanked has not published a ranking for App Builders. 6 tools are queued alphabetically: Base44, Bolt, Hostinger AI Builder, Lovable, Replit Agent, v0. A category rank is the average of that tool’s use-case medians, and only after every job in the category has a fresh score. The top 3 on this page is empty on purpose.

Ship a public marketing page with a waitlist form
The second app-builder job in suite v0.1. The tool ships a public page with the sections in the spec and a waitlist form that reaches a success state.
