NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — Anthropic has not replaced it
Anthropic's version overlaps, but does not finish the dev tools job, so this one still earns its $20/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Web-first AI builders are adding mobile export. Anthropic, May 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Expo.
- What the call is worth $240/yr
- $20/mo at the entry paid tier — $240 a year per seat.

The backstory
Rork picked the gap the web builders left: real React Native output you can test in Expo Go and submit to the App Store. Mobile is harder to fake than a web page — the build, the signing and the store review are real gates — which is why a narrower tool holds up here.
