Orchids

What it is for

Orchids is an AI app builder for any stack: the official docs still (see the cover: project composer plus the live preview canvas) is the product you open from orchids.app. Use it when the job is prompt a web, mobile, or agent app and deploy it.

License is hosted commercial. Public cards on Plans and Credits start at Pro. Annual toggle prints $21 / $42 / $83 / $168 per month.

What makes it unique: you can attach an existing ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini, or GitHub Copilot subscription (or any API key) so model spend sits on that key, while Orchids is the builder.

Key features

• Any-stack builder — web, mobile, Chrome extension, Slack bot, or agent on the Introduction.
• Live preview canvas — prompt on one side, running UI on the other (cover).
• BYO model keys — attach ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, or a raw API key (docs).
• Payments tab — Stripe / Polar / RevenueCat checkout from a prompt (Any Payments).
• Deploy from the builder — ship the generated app without leaving Orchids.
• Multi-surface output — one project can target a site, an extension, or a bot.

Who it's for

Best fit: builders who already pay for a frontier chat/code seat and want a deployable app canvas on top.
