What it costs.
Checked 4 November 2026.
Credits aren't the same unit across products, so compare what you can make with them, not the numbers.
Professional, not vibecoded.
With a design review built in.
AI can get a screen most of the way there, then leave the mistakes a designer would catch in seconds. At Studio level and above, Tappy looks at a real screenshot of each new screen, reviews it like a design lead, and fixes what it finds. These are real catches, not mock-ups.
From Tappy's review of Crumb & Crust
“The ‘Cut 18:10, day of bake’ label sat on top of the drawn cutting board and crumb.”
Tappy's design rules also rule out the habits that give AI designs away:
- Gradient text
- Purple-to-blue gradients
- Neon glows
- Sparkle icons and “AI-powered” badges
- Emoji used as icons
- Decorative blobs
- Charts with no labels
Real Tappy designs.
Each app gets its own type, colour and layout.
When Banani might suit you better
- You want unlimited credits for one flat price.
- You design web apps and dashboards as well as mobile apps.
- You want to connect coding agents through MCP.
Good questions.
Is Tappy better than Banani?
