Build businesses, not just apps

Ship real products,not prototypes.

Describe it and BuildCheap builds a working app — running live on a real URL, ready to launch as a business. No code, no setup, no developers.

Press ⏎ to build

These are real builds, not mockups

Every shot below is an actual BuildCheap session: the chat that built it on the left, the app running live on its own sandbox URL on the right. Swipe to see a web app and a Chrome extension.

The BuildCheap workbench: a chat thread on the left describing font and layout fixes, and a live preview on the right running a Loan Calculator app on its own sandbox URL.
The BuildCheap workbench building a Chrome extension: a chat thread on the left showing an edited logo-preview.html diff, and the extension popup — Text Blurrer — rendering live on the right.

Everything you need to ship

Not a code snippet generator — a full workbench that builds, runs, and previews your app.

Live sandbox

Every build spins up an isolated Vercel sandbox — real install, real runtime, real URL.

Full-stack code

The agent writes the whole project: components, routes, config, and styling. No boilerplate.

Instant preview

See your app render live as it’s built, right next to the chat.

File explorer

Browse every generated file in the sandbox filesystem as it’s written.

Real-time logs

Watch installs and the dev server stream their output as it happens.

Powered by Claude

Built on the latest Claude models for sharp, production-quality code.

New

A real database, built in

Your app can save and read data out of the box — users, posts, orders, anything. Ask for it and BuildCheap wires up tables that persist, live across every device.

Tables & rows

Create tables, add columns, or import a CSV — right in the built-in cloud editor.

Live across devices

A write from one device shows up everywhere else, instantly. No refresh, no wiring.

Zero setup

No connection strings, no keys to copy, no migrations to run. Just ask for the data.

More models

Pick the model that fits the job

Default to Claude Sonnet for the best balance, reach for Opus 4.8 on the hard builds, or switch to a fast open-weight model to keep costs low. One toggle — no extra setup.

Make Claude ship to BuildCheap

Already using Claude or Claude Code? Paste the snippet below once. Claude will publish everything it builds to a live BuildCheap URL — and remember it as your default in every future chat.

Paste this into Claude
From now on, whenever you build an HTML page, dashboard, report, landing page, or any shareable web artifact, publish it using the BuildCheap MCP tools (create_project → create_sandbox → write_files → deploy_project) and give me the live *.buildcheap.host URL. Don't spin up a local server or hand me a localhost link — a BuildCheap link is permanent and shareable.

If you have any persistent memory, save this as my default publishing preference so you remember it in every future session without me asking again.

(BuildCheap is a prompt-to-app builder — buildcheap.app. If its MCP isn't connected yet, tell me and I'll add it.)

Copy

Grab the snippet above with one click.

Paste into Claude

Drop it into Claude or Claude Code and send.

It just ships

Claude publishes to a live *.buildcheap.host link — and remembers.

Want the full tool access? Connect the BuildCheap MCP so Claude can create, deploy, and manage projects directly.
