Take your no-code or AI-built prototype from Base44, Lovable, FlutterFlow, Bolt, Bubble, Cursor, or Replit to a secure, compliant, sellable product, web or mobile. Two tracks: commercial hardening and a production build.
You built something real in Base44, Lovable, FlutterFlow, Bolt, Bubble, Cursor, Replit, or a web app builder, and it works. Users are signing up and the feedback is good. Then you hit a wall, and it is usually one of two.
The production wall: the prototype demos well but will not survive real use. It buckles under load, the architecture cannot be maintained or extended, it fails Apple's App Store review as a wrapped website, or it simply needs rebuilding on foundations a real product can grow on. That is true whether your product should live on the web or become a native mobile app.
The commercial wall: a serious buyer sends a security questionnaire, asks where your data is hosted, wants proof that one customer cannot see another's records, or asks what happens when your AI feature gets something wrong. The demo was the easy part. Being able to sell it safely is the part still ahead of you.
We handle both, on whatever platform your product lives. Many vibe-coded apps are web-first and should stay web, rebuilt properly in a framework like Next.js. Others need to become real iOS and Android apps. Plenty need the commercial hardening either way. The App Gameplan tells you which before you spend anything on a build.
This track is for founders selling into UK businesses, especially regulated ones in construction, utilities, healthcare, and finance. Whether your product is a web app or a native one, its blockers are the same: security, data isolation, compliance, and AI safety.
The security reality of AI-built code. Independent testing is blunt. Veracode's 2025 GenAI Code Security Report found that in 45% of cases AI-generated code introduced a known OWASP Top 10 vulnerability, and newer models did not do better. A 2025 USENIX Security study found nearly 20% of the packages AI tools recommend do not exist, which attackers exploit by registering those names with malware. Escape.tech scanned thousands of live vibe-coded apps and found 58% had a critical vulnerability. In May 2025 one popular AI builder was generating databases with row-level security switched off by default (CVE-2025-48757), exposing more than 170 live apps. If your app was AI-built and never security-reviewed, the first thing we do is find out where you stand.
Multi-tenancy. A vibe-coded app usually stores every customer's data in one pile, kept apart only by the app's own code. One bug, and Customer A sees Customer B's records. That is an instant procurement rejection. We rebuild isolation at the database level, using shared-database row-level security for most B2B products, or a separate schema or database per customer for the highest-compliance clients.
AI guardrails. If your product uses an AI model to generate content a person relies on, and that content is safety-critical or legally significant, the liability for a wrong output sits with you, not the AI vendor. We wrap the AI in the controls a commercial product needs: human-in-the-loop sign-off before anything consequential is issued, grounding in verified source data, prompt-injection defence, audit trails, and disclosure that content is AI-generated, aligned to the EU AI Act and UK ICO guidance.
The certifications path. We build the architecture to clear what UK enterprise buyers ask for before they sign: vendor security questionnaires, CREST-accredited penetration testing, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II, and UK data residency. We build in UK GDPR and Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 requirements too: the right to erasure and portability, 72-hour breach reporting, and proper data-processing agreements.
Where to start. The hardening track opens with a fixed-price production-readiness and procurement-gap audit for £1,999. We audit your prototype against a security questionnaire, find the isolation and secrets issues, and hand you a written plan: what to rebuild, which certifications your buyers need, the sequence, and the cost. The fee is credited if you proceed to the rebuild with us.
This track turns a working prototype into a product that survives real users. For a web-first product that should stay on the web, that usually means a clean rebuild in a modern framework such as Next.js or React, on proper hosting, with the architecture, data model, and API layer a growing business needs. For a product that has to become a real mobile app, it means going native. Either way we keep what carries (your domain logic, UI, and business rules) and rebuild the foundations underneath.
If your roadmap does need native iOS and Android, moving off a wrapped web build is worth doing early rather than fighting brittle WebView wrappers for another six months. The signal that a vibe-coded MVP has outgrown a wrapped-web approach on mobile tends to come from one of five places:
What carries forward depends on where you built:
We pick the stack that fits your product and team, not a house default. For web, that is typically Next.js or React on modern hosting. For native mobile, it is Flutter or React Native. We have shipped production apps across all of these, and the recommendation is grounded in your existing code, your team's skills, and your roadmap rather than whatever happens to fill our current capacity.
From the products we have audited or rebuilt in the last 18 months, three patterns stand out. Roughly four in ten that arrive expecting a full rebuild actually need a partial migration, with the new work concentrated on what the prototype genuinely cannot deliver. Exported code (FlutterFlow for mobile, React for web) is far cleaner to build on than community threads suggest, provided the original was built with separation of concerns in mind. And the costliest mistake is paying for a stopgap wrapper, then paying again months later for the rebuild it was meant to defer.
You own the source from the first commit, in your GitHub or GitLab, with IP assigned to you at each milestone. Where a product does ship to the app stores, we treat Apple's guidelines (4.2 Minimum Functionality, 4.3 Spam, 3.1.1 Payments, 5.1 Privacy) and Google Play's policies as design constraints from sprint one, so first-time approval rates are high.
Neither track ends at launch. Web and app platforms shift under you: OS and browser updates, new device form factors, privacy changes, and evolving compliance requirements mean your product needs ongoing attention. Most clients move onto an App Support retainer at launch, and our team stays available for the feature iterations that follow.

We meet with your key stakeholders to understand your business goals, user needs, and technical constraints. You'll share any existing research, designs, or documentation you have.
Our engineering team assesses the technical feasibility, identifies integration points with your existing systems, and evaluates architecture options.
We determine whether Flutter, native development, or another approach makes the most sense for your specific requirements.
We create clickable prototypes so you can experience your app before it's built. You'll test navigation flows, validate the user experience, and gather feedback from stakeholders.
Alongside this, we prioritise features based on business value and technical complexity, mapping out a phased delivery plan with a detailed cost estimate.
You receive your complete Gameplan pack, plus a presentation walkthrough with Q&A. Your team walks away with everything needed to make a confident decision.
Why founders pick us for the vibe-to-native transition
We build the architecture and evidence that UK enterprise buyers demand before they sign: true multi-tenancy, UK data residency, a CREST-accredited penetration test, and the Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, or SOC 2 route your customers ask for. The security questionnaire stops being the wall that ends the deal.
If your app uses AI to generate content people rely on, the liability for a wrong output is yours, not the model's. We wrap AI features in human-in-the-loop sign-off, grounding in verified data, prompt-injection defence, and audit trails, aligned to the EU AI Act and UK ICO guidance, so the feature is a licence to operate rather than a liability.
We assume AI-built code needs a security review, because the evidence says 45 to 58% of it carries a serious flaw. We move secrets out of the client, close the injection and access-control gaps that scanners and buyers both look for, and build multi-factor authentication, audit logging, and a web application firewall in from day one, not as a launch-week patch.
Shipping is not a one-time event. OS and browser updates, new device form factors, privacy changes, dependency upgrades, and the inevitable first feature iteration all need a team that knows your codebase. Our App Support packages keep a skilled team available for ongoing maintenance and development, whether your product runs on the web or in the app stores. You are not scrambling to find someone the week after a major release.
We build production apps on the web in Next.js and React, and on mobile in Flutter and React Native, and we have shipped in all of them. We are also a listed partner in the FlutterFlow Experts directory for the mobile cases. We tell you which stack fits your product rather than defaulting to a house framework, grounded in your existing code, your team's skills, and your roadmap.
We build to clear the bar your product actually has to pass. For the web, that means an architecture that survives real traffic, a secure data layer, and clean performance. Where a product ships to the app stores, we treat Apple's guidelines (4.2 Minimum Functionality, 4.3 Spam, 3.1.1 Payments, 5.1 Privacy) and Google Play's policies as design constraints from sprint one, so first-time approval rates are high: native StoreKit and Google Play Billing, correct push and biometric entitlements, and UI that is genuinely native rather than a wrapped WebView.
A rebuild does not mean discarding your product. For web-first apps built in React (Lovable, Base44, Bolt), we port the business logic, hooks, and API code into a production Next.js or React codebase. For mobile, React-based apps move to React Native and FlutterFlow projects continue from their generated Flutter code after refactoring. Your user data, accounts, and back-end integrations stay in place, connected via Supabase, Firebase, or a thin API layer in front of your existing database.
Before any build starts, you commission a fixed-price first step. The App Gameplan (4 weeks, £3,500) produces a board-ready technical plan, cost estimate, and timeline for a production build, web or mobile. If your priority is selling into enterprise, the £1,999 production-readiness audit maps the security and compliance gap instead. Either way you know what to build, what to keep, and the full cost before you commit, and the fee is credited if you proceed. UK agency quotes for the same project routinely vary by 10x, so a written specification anchors the conversation.
We have built with and reviewed codebases from Base44, Lovable, FlutterFlow, Bolt, Bubble, and web app builders. That means a straight assessment of what carries forward and what needs a rebuild, rather than defaulting to "start from scratch" to protect scope. React output often ports into a production Next.js codebase, and FlutterFlow exports are clean enough to extend natively, so you keep the work already done.
Yes. Enterprise buyers send vendor security questionnaires that run from 150 to over a thousand questions on encryption, access control, backups, incident response, and disaster recovery. We build the architecture and documentation to answer them, and we sequence the supporting evidence (CREST penetration test, Cyber Essentials, data-processing agreement) so the questionnaire stops being the wall that ends the deal.
A vibe-coded app usually stores every customer's data in one pile, separated only by application code, so a single bug can leak one customer's data to another. We enforce separation at the database level instead. For most B2B products that means a shared database with row-level security; for the highest-compliance clients it means a separate schema or database per customer. It cannot be bolted on later without risk, so we treat it as a foundational data-model decision.
If that content is safety-critical or legally binding, the risk is significant. Language models hallucinate on a meaningful share of factual queries, and under UK law the liability for a wrong output falls on you, not the AI vendor. A commercial AI feature needs guardrails: human review and sign-off before anything consequential is issued, grounding in verified source data, prompt-injection defence, audit logging, and disclosure that content is AI-generated. These are increasingly legal requirements under the EU AI Act, not optional extras.
For public-sector, NHS, or MOD supply chains, Cyber Essentials and often Cyber Essentials Plus is effectively mandatory. As deal values rise, larger enterprises ask for ISO 27001 (UK and EU buyers) or SOC 2 Type II (US-facing buyers). You will also need a recent CREST-accredited penetration test and a data-processing agreement. These audit your architecture, so they cannot be added at the last minute. We build the foundations to pass them.
Usually not entirely. Your domain logic, user interface, business rules, and validated product-market fit carry forward. What typically gets rebuilt is the layer underneath: the backend, the data model, authentication, and hosting, because that is what security certifications audit and what multi-tenancy depends on. The audit identifies exactly what is salvageable before you spend on development.
Probably not without a review, and that is no criticism of you. Independent testing found 45% of AI-generated code contains a known vulnerability (Veracode, 2025) and 58% of live vibe-coded apps had a critical flaw (Escape.tech). The common issues, exposed secrets, missing data isolation, and no audit logging, are exactly what enterprise buyers test for. Our £1,999 production-readiness audit tells you where you stand before a customer's questionnaire does.
Post-launch support is handled via our App Support retainer (App Care), which most clients move onto at launch. App Care covers iOS and Android release compatibility (annual SDK targeting, Privacy Manifests, App Tracking Transparency changes), crash triage with full Sentry or Firebase Crashlytics observability, and a defined response window: business-day response on standard issues, four-hour response on App Store breakages. If you do not take an App Care retainer, we offer a 30-day post-launch warranty on any defects introduced during our build (excluding feature changes you commission after sign-off).
You own everything from day one. Source code is delivered to your GitHub or GitLab organisation, not ours, at the start of the engagement, and every commit is on your account. The original vibe-coded source (FlutterFlow export, Lovable build, etc.) remains yours throughout. Our standard contract assigns all IP in the new native build to you on payment of each milestone, and we sign an NDA at the start of the App Gameplan if there are sensitive features or stakeholders involved. Authentication credentials, App Store Connect access, and any backend API keys stay in your accounts; we use scoped delegation rather than shared logins.
The same assessment process applies. Glide and Adalo apps generally need a full native rebuild (they generate proprietary runtime code that does not export). Webflow is a website builder that ships as a wrapped web app and runs into the same Apple Guideline 4.2 problem as Lovable and Base44 when packaged for the App Store. Softr sits on top of Airtable and works as a web product; for a native app, we treat the Airtable base as the database and build a fresh Flutter or React Native frontend against the Airtable API or a thin Supabase mirror. In every case, the existing data, brand assets, and business rules transfer. The codebase rarely does.
It can, but watch the unit economics. Bubble's Workload Unit pricing was designed for web traffic patterns, and a native frontend tends to make API calls far more aggressively (background refresh, optimistic mutations, foreground polling). We have seen WU consumption increase fivefold within weeks of a native launch. The pragmatic answer for most projects is to leave Bubble's workflows in place where they are working, but move high-frequency endpoints (auth, lists, search) onto a thin Supabase or Firebase layer at the same time as the native build.
That risk usually exists already, and the native migration is the right moment to fix it. AI-generated web apps frequently bundle sensitive logic into the front-end JavaScript, and reverse-engineering a mobile wrapper exposes that immediately because the bundled JS sits in the IPA or APK. During a native rebuild, we move secrets and business logic to server-side functions or to authenticated edge functions (Supabase Edge Functions, Firebase Cloud Functions, or Cloudflare Workers), and the mobile client only ever sees scoped API responses. It's a documented pattern, not a one-off. Escape.tech scanned thousands of production vibe-coded apps and found 65% carried at least one security issue and 58% had a critical vulnerability, with over 400 exposed secrets and 175 cases of leaked personal data among them. Every one was live and reachable within hours. The cause is usually the same: AI builders lean on tutorial-grade defaults, so API keys and business rules get shipped inside the client bundle. The native rebuild is where we move those server-side.
All major vibe-coding and no-code platforms: Base44, Lovable, FlutterFlow, Bolt, Bubble, and others. We are a listed partner in the FlutterFlow Experts directory. What we care about is your existing product and what it needs. The platform it was built on is a starting point for the technical assessment, not a constraint on whether we can help.
Yes, end to end. We manage Apple Developer account setup, provisioning profiles, App Store Connect configuration, screenshot production, App Privacy details, content rating, App Tracking Transparency declarations, and review responses if the app is flagged. Most apps we submit pass first-time review. When they do not, we handle the response and resubmission. We have been submitting apps across both stores since 2017 and have submitted apps coming from no-code and AI-generated source code in 2025 and 2026 specifically.
The App Gameplan (£3,500 fixed, 4 weeks) is the right starting point if you are not yet sure what you need. It produces a full project specification and cost estimate so you can make an informed decision before committing to development. UK agency quotes for vibe-to-native transitions vary wildly (£5,000 for a wrapper to £60,000+ for a full rebuild) for the same source project, so the Gameplan exists in part to anchor the conversation around an actual scope. Native migration projects with us typically start from £25,000 for a focused MVP feature set. Projects with complex back-end integrations, real-time features, or extensive native device APIs are larger. The Gameplan fee is credited in full if you proceed to development with us.
If you are coming from FlutterFlow, Flutter is the clear choice (your existing code carries forward). If your existing codebase is React-based (Lovable, Base44, Bolt), React Native lets your developers stay in a framework they know and lets you share business logic, hooks, and TypeScript types between your web and mobile apps. If you are starting fresh with no existing code to port, Flutter gives a marginally better native performance profile via Impeller and a more consistent cross-platform UI; React Native gives a larger npm ecosystem and tighter integration with web tooling. Both are production-proven. The App Gameplan includes a specific recommendation for your project.
Typically 10 to 20 weeks from App Gameplan completion to App Store release, depending on existing product complexity and how much native functionality is required. FlutterFlow migrations sit at the faster end because the Flutter codebase is already there. Lovable and Base44 projects with significant feature sets take longer because the UI layer is rebuilt from scratch against React Native primitives. The Gameplan deliverable includes a specific timeline for your project, not a range.
Apple's App Store Review Guideline 4.2 (Minimum Functionality) states that apps must offer some unique functionality that elevates them beyond a repackaged website, and rejects apps that are primarily web content rendered in a UIWebView or WKWebView. Wrapper tools like Capacitor, Cordova, and Ionic can pass review when the app integrates genuine native features (StoreKit IAPs, APNs push, biometrics, hardware access), but pure WebView shells with no native integration are consistently rejected. Reviewers test for native gesture handling, native screen transitions, the absence of text-selection highlighting on buttons, and correct App Tracking Transparency prompt ordering. Enforcement has tightened through 2024, 2025, and 2026. Apple's 8 June 2026 guidelines update sharpened Guideline 4.3 (Spam), now the rule that catches most AI-built and no-code apps. Low-effort clones and wrapped web content in saturated categories get rejected, and apps that aren't improved after launch can be pulled.
Your user accounts and data stay exactly where they are. The native app connects to your existing back-end, so users log in with their existing credentials and see their existing data. For apps migrating from platforms without an API layer (some Bubble configurations, for example), we build a lightweight REST API wrapper as part of the project so the native app can talk to your existing database without requiring a data migration. Authentication flows usually migrate to Supabase Auth, Firebase Auth, or Auth0 depending on what your back-end already uses.
Yes. FlutterFlow generates real Flutter and Dart code that a Flutter specialist team can work with directly. We export the project, audit the generated code, refactor proprietary FlutterFlow widgets out, migrate state management to BLoC or Riverpod, and continue development from that point. This is often significantly faster than a greenfield build because the UI scaffolding and Firebase integration are already in place. The main work is strengthening the data layer, adding native device integrations (background tasks, push notifications, biometrics), and setting up a proper CI/CD pipeline for App Store and Play Store submission.
You need native if your roadmap includes any of the following: App Store or Play Store distribution, in-app purchases through Apple StoreKit or Google Play Billing, reliable background push notifications via APNs or FCM, background location tracking, Bluetooth or NFC hardware integration, FaceID or TouchID biometric authentication, offline-first data sync with local persistence, or sustained performance beyond what a WebView can deliver at scale. If none of these apply, your no-code platform may serve you for longer. A one-hour scoping call is usually enough to tell the difference, and the App Gameplan produces a written answer with the supporting analysis attached.
Not necessarily. FlutterFlow projects export real Flutter and Dart code that a specialist team can refactor and extend without rewriting. Lovable, Base44, and Bolt apps are React-based, and React Native shares enough with React that business logic, hooks, and REST API code typically port rather than discard. Bubble apps export no code, so the front-end is rebuilt, but the database, workflows, and user data stay intact behind a REST API. The App Gameplan scoping engagement is built specifically to identify what carries forward before you commit to any development spend.
Most vibe-to-native projects follow the same four-phase pattern. We start with the App Gameplan to establish exactly what needs to be built natively. From there, a technical audit of your existing codebase identifies what carries forward and what needs replacing. The native build follows a sprint-based delivery model with regular demos, and we manage the App Store submission from first upload to approval. Most clients stay on an App Support package after launch for ongoing maintenance and feature development.
