Trickle
Turn your ideas into live apps and websites with AI
About Trickle
Trickle is an AI app and website builder that turns natural-language prompts into live web apps, sites, dashboards, forms, and simple games. It pairs a visual Canvas workspace for co-creating with the AI with a built-in database, one-click hosting on trickle.host subdomains, and custom domains on paid plans.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Free plan includes hosting, a database, and daily credits, enough to build and publish small projects
- Pro plan at $17/month undercuts several better-known AI app builders
- Canvas workspace gives the AI visual context instead of relying on a single chat thread
- Built-in database and hosting remove the need to wire up Supabase or a separate host
- Multiple AI models available, so you can pick speed or quality per task
- Large community gallery of remixable projects to start from
Cons
- Credit-based usage makes costs hard to predict on larger builds; add-on packs cost $10 per 750 credits
- Database row limits (100 on Free, 10,000 on Premium) restrict data-heavy apps
- Smaller user base and ecosystem than Lovable, Bolt, or Replit, with few independent reviews
- Integrations and API connectivity are less documented than in more established builders
- Best suited to front-end-heavy apps and sites rather than complex production backends
Key Features
Prompt-to-app generation
Describe an app, website, or tool in plain language and Trickle generates a working, responsive web app you can preview immediately.
Trickle Canvas
A visual, agentic workspace where you arrange context, references, and components so the AI builds with more of your intent in view.
Built-in database
Every project gets a database out of the box, from 100 rows on Free up to 10,000 rows on Premium, with no external backend to configure.
Hosting and custom domains
Publish to trickle.host subdomains in one step; Pro and Premium plans add custom domains and remove the Trickle badge.
Direct Edit
Click into generated pages to adjust text, layout, and styling directly instead of re-prompting for every small change.

Switch between frontier models such as Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, and Kimi for code generation, plus image and video models for media assets.
Community templates
Browse and remix community projects across websites, personal apps, portfolios, internal tools, dashboards, forms, and games.
