Bravo Studio
Turns a Figma design into a real, publishable mobile app — the route a designer takes to get something into the App Store without writing code.
What you'd use it for
Turning a Figma design you've already made into a real iOS or Android app without hiring a developer to rebuild it in code.
- Import a Figma file by link and convert its screens directly into native app screens
- Wire up real data by connecting Airtable, Convex, REST or GraphQL APIs to your UI elements
- Preview the working app on your own phone via the Bravo Vision app before publishing
- Push signed iOS and Android app store builds from inside Bravo on the Solo plan
- Build the app from an AI coding assistant like Claude or Cursor through Bravo MCP instead of the visual editor
The verdict
Bravo Studio does one thing convincingly — it turns an already-designed Figma file into a real, submittable iOS or Android app without a developer rewriting it in code. The free tier lets you build and preview a full app for nothing, but publishing sits behind the $22/month Solo plan and behind real developer accounts with Apple and Google that Bravo itself doesn't provide. It suits a designer or small team that already lives in Figma and wants their actual design to ship as pixels rather than someone else's component library. It is not the tool for anyone who needs help designing the app in the first place, or who needs it live in days rather than through app-store review.
What it costs
| Tier | Price | For | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Learn (Starter) | $0/month | Testing a design idea before deciding whether to publish it for real. | Unlimited app projects, up to 15 screens per app, the Bravo Vision previewer, and community support. |
| Solo | $22/month billed monthly | A designer or founder actually shipping the app to app stores. | Everything in Learn, plus up to 30 screens per app, Stripe, OAuth, Firebase and deep-link integration, unlimited app store builds, charts, native maps, conditional UI, and Bravo MCP for building from inside Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT. |

What you need to start
- A Figma file with the screens already designed
- A free Figma account, plus a backend such as Airtable, Convex, REST or GraphQL if the app needs real data
- An Apple Developer Program account and/or a Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time fee) to publish
- The Solo plan at $22/month — the free Learn tier previews but cannot publish
Signing up for the free tier is instant with no card required; a first preview follows Bravo's six-step sample tutorial, and if you publish to Google Play on a personal developer account, plan for a mandatory 14-day, 20-tester closed test before the app goes live.
Your first run The official first-app tutorial has you duplicate a ready-made Figma template and Airtable base, tag the screens, bind the Airtable data to the UI, and preview the running app on your own phone through Bravo Vision — using the sample project means there's nothing to design from scratch.
Where it breaks
Works directly from a Figma file — the design is the app, screen by screen, rather than a separate build process.
First entry in this reference. There is no previous check to compare it against.
When not to use it
Not for founders or teams without a finished Figma design, since Bravo builds from your design file rather than helping you create one. Also not for anyone who needs an app live in days — even after the build is ready, an Apple Developer account, a Google Play Developer account, and, on a personal Play account, a mandatory 14-day closed test with 20 testers stand between you and the store listing.
Bravo Studio’s whole premise is that the Figma file you’ve already made is most of the work. Instead of handing a design to a developer to rebuild in code, you wire up its screens and interactions inside Bravo, and it produces an actual app you can submit to the App Store or Play Store.
The free Learn tier is real enough to build and preview a full 15-screen app before paying anything — the limit that actually forces an upgrade is publishing. Solo, at $22 a month, is what a designer needs to connect real backend services (Stripe for payments, Firebase for data, OAuth for login) and push a build to the app stores.
The AI layer worth noting
Bravo has added an MCP integration — “Bravo MCP” — that lets you build the app from inside an AI coding assistant like Claude or Cursor rather than only the visual editor. That’s a genuine extension of the no-code premise: the design-to-app pipeline becomes something an AI agent can drive alongside you, not just a manual drag-and-drop tool.
Where it sits
Against a full-code approach, or a broader no-code app builder like Adalo, Bravo’s edge is fidelity to the original design — because the app is built from your actual Figma file, what ships looks like what you designed, rather than an approximation built in someone else’s component system. The tradeoff is that you need a real Figma design to start from; this isn’t a tool for building the design itself.
