Blink.new
Blink is a full-stack app builder where you describe what you want in plain English and an agent writes, deploys, and hosts a production-ready web or mobile application. It targets founders, agencies, and developers who want a working product with database, authentication, APIs, and hosting handled in one flow instead of stitching together separate services.
Where many builders stop at a frontend prototype, Blink generates the full stack: SQL database on Turso, auth with social logins and magic links, file storage, Stripe payments, and deployment to a live URL. Every project lives in a GitHub repo you own from day one, and you can migrate existing work from Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Base44, Emergent, or Manus in one click.
Beyond the chat builder, Blink Cloud exposes the same managed infrastructure to external coding agents via MCP and CLI, and Blink Claw hosts always-on agents on Telegram, Discord, and Slack. The platform also ships an AI Gateway with 200+ models behind one OpenAI-compatible API key.
First build deploys in about 30 to 60 seconds from a text prompt
Every project syncs to a GitHub repo you own from day one
Database, auth, storage, and hosting ship automatically with each app
200+ models through one OpenAI-compatible AI Gateway API key
Blink Claw runs always-on agents on Telegram, Discord, and Slack
Click any element in the visual editor to change text, color, or spacing
One-click migration from Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Base44, Emergent, or Manus
Free tier includes full-stack builds with database, auth, and deployment, not just a frontend mockup.
Generated code lives in a GitHub repo you own, so export and self-hosting stay straightforward.
One platform covers hosting, auth, database, payments, and 200+ AI models behind a single API.
Supports one-click migration from Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Base44, Emergent, and Manus.
Free plan daily credits cap at 30 per month, which limits sustained building without upgrading.
Custom domains, private projects, and code downloads require a paid plan.
SOC 2 certification is still in progress according to Blink FAQ.
Primary application infrastructure is US-hosted, which may matter for strict EU data residency needs.
Is Blink free to use?
Yes. Blink offers a free plan with 5 daily refresh credits capped at 30 per month, free hosting with SSL, a blink.new subdomain, database setup, authentication, and deployment with no credit card required.
Do I need coding experience to use Blink?
No. Blink builds complete applications from natural language descriptions. You describe features in plain English, review the live preview, and iterate with the agent until the output matches what you want.
Do I own the code Blink generates?
Yes. Every Blink project lives in a GitHub repository you own from day one. You can export the code and self-host the application at any time.
What is included in Blink paid plans?
Paid plans add more monthly AI credits, 5 daily refresh credits with no monthly cap, private projects, custom domains, code downloads, production hosting, collaborators, and priority support. Starter is $25/mo, Pro is $50/mo, and Max starts at $200/mo on Blink pricing.
Can Blink build mobile apps?
Yes. Blink builds responsive web apps and React Native applications for iOS and Android with Expo. Paid Max plans include publishing support for the App Store and Google Play.
What is the difference between Blink App Builder and Blink Cloud?
Blink App Builder is the chat-and-ship flow inside blink.new. Blink Cloud exposes the same managed database, auth, storage, deploy, and AI gateway infrastructure to external coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code through MCP and CLI.
Where is Blink data hosted?
Blink primary infrastructure runs in the United States on Railway for application servers and Postgres, AWS and Cloudflare for static hosting, and Firebase on Google Cloud for authentication. Per-project agent sandboxes run on Fly.io across US, EU, and UK regions.
