Vibe Code to Production App

Take your no-code or AI-built prototype from Base44, Lovable, FlutterFlow, Bolt, Bubble, Cursor, or Replit to a secure, sellable product, web or mobile. Start with a free consultation and code review, then a fixed-price migration onto a stack you own.

Two walls every vibe-coded app hits

You built something real in Base44, Lovable, FlutterFlow, Bolt, Bubble, Cursor, Replit, or a web app builder, and it works. People are signing up and the feedback is good. Then you hit a wall, and it's usually one of two.

The production wall: the prototype demos well but won't survive real use. It slows under load, the code can't be safely changed 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.

The commercial wall: a serious buyer sends a security questionnaire, asks where your data lives, or wants proof that one customer can't see another's records. The demo was the easy part. Being able to sell it safely is the part still ahead of you.

We take vibe-coded and no-code apps past both, on the web or on mobile. And the first step costs you nothing.

Two walls every vibe-coded app hits: the production wall (won't scale, App Store rules, fragile build, no offline) and the commercial wall (security questionnaire, data isolation, certifications, AI guardrails), both leading to a secure, compliant, sellable product on web (Next.js) or native mobile (Flutter, React Native)

Start with a free consultation and code review

This is where everyone starts, and it's free. Send us your app and we'll review the code, tell you honestly what's solid and what isn't, and show you the shortest route to a product you can sell and maintain. No fee, no commitment: you'll come away knowing exactly where you stand, whether or not you carry on with us. Get in touch and we'll book it in.

The next step: get onto a stack you own

When you're ready to move, the migration sprint is the first build step. Most vibe-coded apps run on a builder's proprietary platform, which is fine for a prototype and a problem for a product. We move your app onto an open, standard stack you fully control: Supabase for your database and authentication, Vercel for web hosting, and Expo for a real iOS and Android app. It's a fixed price, £999 to £1,999 depending on complexity, and the free review tells you which end of that range you're at before you commit a penny.

It's a small spend that buys five things at once:

  • Security. We move secrets out of the client, close the access-control and injection gaps AI-built code routinely ships with, and put proper authentication and data isolation in place.
  • Product readiness. Your code lands in your own GitHub or GitLab with a working deploy pipeline, so it can actually be changed, tested, and shipped by a team.
  • Data-regulation compliance. On Supabase your data can sit in a UK or EU region, with the erasure, portability, and processing controls UK GDPR expects, rather than wherever a builder happens to host it.
  • Performance. A native Expo build and a real backend replace the sluggish WebView wrapper, so the app is quick on the devices people actually use.
  • Lower running costs. Heavily-used no-code platforms get expensive fast. Bubble's Workload Unit pricing is the usual culprit: a native frontend calls the API far harder than the web client does, and we've seen consumption rise fivefold within weeks of launch. Moving the high-traffic endpoints onto Supabase and Vercel often cuts the monthly bill sharply.

Across the vibe-coded apps we've migrated, roughly four in ten founders who arrived expecting a full rebuild only needed a partial one, with the new work concentrated on what the prototype genuinely couldn't do. The free review is where we tell you which of the two you're looking at.

Then keep it healthy with App Care

Shipping isn't a one-time event. OS and browser updates, new devices, privacy changes, dependency upgrades, and your next feature all need a team that knows your codebase. Most clients move straight onto an App Care retainer at launch: Essentials from £675/month, Standard £995/month, and Premium £1,495/month, each with a shared Slack channel, a named contact, and agreed SLA response times. No scrambling to find someone the week after a release.

Selling into regulated enterprise? We harden for procurement too

If you're selling into UK businesses in construction, utilities, healthcare, or finance, the bar is higher, and the migration sprint is the foundation the rest builds on. We add the architecture and evidence buyers demand before they sign:

  • True multi-tenancy. A vibe-coded app usually keeps every customer's data in one pile, separated only by app code. One bug and Customer A sees Customer B's records. We enforce isolation at the database level: row-level security for most B2B products, or a schema or database per customer for the strictest cases.
  • AI guardrails. If your product uses AI to generate content people rely on, the liability for a wrong output is yours, not the vendor's. We add human sign-off, grounding in verified data, prompt-injection defence, and audit trails, aligned to the EU AI Act and UK ICO guidance.
  • The certifications path. We build to clear vendor security questionnaires, CREST-accredited penetration testing, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, and the ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II route your buyers ask for, with UK data residency throughout.
Three ways to isolate customer data in a multi-tenant SaaS, from lower cost to stronger isolation: shared database with row-level security, schema per customer, and database per customer

The security case isn't abstract. Veracode's GenAI Code Security Report found 45% of AI-generated code introduced a known OWASP Top 10 vulnerability, and newer models didn't do better. Escape.tech scanned thousands of live vibe-coded apps and found 58% carried a critical vulnerability, with hundreds of exposed secrets among them. If your app was AI-built and never security-reviewed, the free code review is where we find out where you stand.

Going bigger? Full builds, scoped per project

Some products need more than a migration: a ground-up native app, a heavier backend, real-time features, or deep device integration. We've shipped production apps in Next.js, React, Flutter, and React Native, and we'll scope that work honestly once the free review shows what's really needed. You own the source from the first commit, with IP assigned to you at each milestone, and where a product ships to the app stores we treat Apple's and Google's guidelines as design constraints from sprint one.

What you get when we take your prototype to production

Why founders pick us for the vibe-to-native transition

Icon

A clear path through enterprise procurement

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.

Icon

AI guardrails that stand up

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.

Icon

Security from the first commit

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.

Icon

We stay involved after you ship

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.

Icon

The right stack, web or mobile

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.

Icon

Launch-ready, first time

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.

Icon

We build on what you already have

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.

Icon

A free first step, then fixed prices

Start with a free consultation and code review, no commitment. Your first move onto a stack you own is a fixed £999 to £1,999 depending on complexity, so you know the cost before any work starts. UK agency quotes for the same job routinely vary by 10x, so a fixed price anchors the conversation.

Icon

We know the platforms you built on

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.

Vibe: Can you get my app through a customer's security questionnaire?

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.

Vibe: How do you make a no-code app multi-tenant?

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.

Vibe: My app uses AI to generate content. What are the risks?

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.

Vibe: What certifications do I need to sell software to UK enterprises?

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.

Vibe: Do I have to rebuild my whole app to make it production-ready?

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 examine and what multi-tenancy depends on. The free code review identifies exactly what is salvageable before you spend on development.

Vibe: Is my vibe-coded app secure enough to sell to businesses?

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 free code review tells you where you stand before a customer's questionnaire does.

Vibe: What is your bug fix and SLA policy after the App Store launch?

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).

Vibe: How do you handle code ownership and IP through the migration?

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 build to you on payment of each milestone, and we sign an NDA at the start of the engagement 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.

Vibe: What about other no-code tools — Glide, Adalo, Webflow, Softr?

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.

Can my Bubble back-end keep working behind a native frontend?

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.

Will moving to native expose API keys or business logic that were in my vibe-coded web app?

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.

Do you work with Base44 specifically, or only the better-known platforms?

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.

Can you handle App Store and Play Store submission?

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.

What does it cost to go from a no-code prototype to a native app?

Less than most people expect to start. The first step is a free consultation and code review, then a fixed-price migration sprint of £999 to £1,999 (depending on complexity) that moves your app onto a stack you own: Supabase, Vercel, and Expo. That gets you a secure, deployable product on standard foundations. From there, most clients move onto an App Care retainer (from £675/month) for ongoing maintenance and features. Larger pieces of work, a ground-up native build, a heavy backend, or enterprise compliance, are scoped per project once the review shows what's actually needed. UK agency quotes for the same job vary wildly (£5,000 for a wrapper to £60,000+ for a full rebuild), which is exactly why we start with a fixed, low first step.

Should I use Flutter or React Native for my native app?

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. For most vibe-to-mobile migrations we default to Expo (React Native), which keeps you in the JavaScript ecosystem your app already uses, and the free consultation includes a specific recommendation for your project.

How long does a vibe-code to native app transition take?

The migration sprint itself is fast: your app is on Supabase, Vercel, and Expo within one to two weeks. A fuller native build with significant new functionality typically runs 10 to 20 weeks to App Store release, depending on existing product complexity and how much native work is required. FlutterFlow migrations sit at the faster end because the Flutter codebase is already there; React-based apps (Lovable, Base44, Bolt) move onto Expo and reuse business logic and API code. The free consultation gives you a specific timeline for your project, not a range.

Why does Apple reject apps built with WebView wrappers?

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.

What happens to my existing users and their data when we go native?

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.

Can you take over my FlutterFlow project and continue it in native Flutter?

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.

How do I know if I need to go native or if I can stay on my no-code platform?

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 free consultation gives you a written answer with the supporting analysis.

Does my app need to be completely rebuilt to go native?

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 free consultation and code review is built specifically to identify what carries forward before you commit to any development spend.

Vibe Code to Production Engagement

From prototype to production: a clear path

Every project starts the same way: a free consultation and code review, so you know exactly where your app stands before spending anything. From there, a fixed-price migration sprint moves it onto a stack you own (Supabase, Vercel, and Expo). We harden and extend it as far as your product needs, and most clients then move onto an App Care retainer for ongoing maintenance and new features.
