DraftScreens vs Rork: which AI app designer fits you?
Chat-to-React-Native app builder with App Store publishing. DraftScreens is an AI designer that only does mobile screens, in one design language per project, with a visual editor, a clickable prototype and exports to Figma and code. Here is how they compare, including when Rork wins.

The short version
Rork builds the app; it does not design it. DraftScreens designs it: a consistent language, a visual editor, a prototype, then a prompt pack Rork or Cursor rebuild from. Design here, build there.

Which one to choose
Choose Rork if
Pick Rork when you need a running app this week and design polish can come later, or never.
Best for: Shipping a working Expo app from chat, when you are fine with whatever UI the model emits.
Choose DraftScreens if
The product is a mobile app, the screens have to look designed rather than generated, you want to tap through it on a phone before writing code, and you want Figma layers and a hand-off that a coding tool can build from.
Rork: strengths and gaps
What Rork does well
- Real React Native and Expo apps, QR preview, guided store publishing
- Rork Max builds native SwiftUI on cloud Macs
- RevenueCat and Superwall integrations, GitHub sync
Where it falls short
- No design layer and no visual editor, a top complaint
- Credits burned on the AI's own bugs; no rollover
- Trustpilot 2 out of 5 on support and refunds
- Every app looks like the same shadcn-ish default
What DraftScreens does differently
Mobile only, on purpose
Every screen is a 390x844 phone screen. The generator is prompted like a senior mobile designer, never like a web page builder.
One design language per project
A flow is planned first: palette, type, radius, spacing. Every screen and every edit is held to it, so screens do not drift.
Edit anything, or ask
Select any element and change text, colour, spacing, layout or its tap link; or select it and tell the AI what to change.
Your brand, every screen
Studio plans ingest a design system: palette roles, fonts, voice, rules and logo drive the planner and every screen.
A prototype, not a picture
Buttons, tabs and rows carry links. Preview in the studio or scan a QR and tap through on your phone.
Exports that survive the move
Editable Figma layers, HTML per screen, a prompt pack for Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable and v0. Failed generations are never charged.
Questions people ask
- Does Rork have a visual editor?
- No; the lack of one is among its most common complaints. DraftScreens has one for every element.
- Can I use DraftScreens with Rork?
- Yes. Design the flow in DraftScreens, export the prompt pack, and paste it into Rork to build the app.
- Does Rork charge for failed generations?
- Credits are consumed whether or not the result works, with no rollover. DraftScreens never charges for a failed generation.
