FluxNative vs RapidNative
RapidNative and FluxNative both generate React Native projects. RapidNative sells store submission as a managed service; FluxNative builds and uploads the app from the product.
The short answer
Choose RapidNative if you prototype together from sketches and product docs and would rather pay a team for store submission. Choose FluxNative if you want to build, sign and upload the app yourself, with the store listing and checklist included.
Key differences

RapidNative sells managed submission for a one-off fee from $349.50, or you export and build it yourself. FluxNative builds signed binaries on paid plans and uploads to TestFlight and Google Play.
Inputs
RapidNative: prompts, images, whiteboard sketches, product docs and Lovable projects. FluxNative: prompts, screenshots and images, or a working template.
Code ownership
RapidNative exports React Native code on paid plans; Git is listed as coming soon. FluxNative exports on every plan; on paid plans, coding agents edit the project over MCP.
