Mocha is an AI-powered platform that enables users of any skill level to create full-stack web applications without requiring coding expertise by simply describing what they want in plain English. Instead of hiring developers, users can generate web apps or websites instantly.
Mocha offers a freemium model with different tiers to suit your needs. You can get started for free and upgrade to a Pro plan when you need more features and resources. Learn more about our subscription plans.
Simply create an account on Mocha, explore the interface, and start building by typing prompts that describe what you want to create.
You can build any web app idea that you have. A website for your business, a SaaS, landing pages, AI-powered utilities, internal tools,… Your ideas are the limit.
Yes, Mocha is a full-stack app builder and comes batteries included with a database, API server, and optionally authentication. You can also call any backend APIs by passing your own secret API keys to the system.
Mocha chooses the tech stack for you. It uses TypeScript, React, Hono (for API endpoints), and a SQLite database. We use Cloudflare for hosting Mocha apps. This is designed to be reliable and performant for the vast majority of app-builder use cases.
No. Mocha is designed to be accessible by people with no technical background, so we make choices on behalf of Mocha users.Supporting arbitrary tech stacks or external platforms would introduce complexity and lead to a less reliable product, particularly for non-techincal users.
No! Mocha is designed for people with 0 coding experience and expertise. Our goal is to empower people who previously couldn’t build their own apps. We offer some internal tools like the code editor in case you’re technical and want to get your hands dirty, but these are completely optional.Mocha allows non-technical users to create apps through a structured workflow: plan, prompt, scaffold, debug, and deploy. You can generate project documentation, break the process into steps, and let AI guide you.
Yes! It is completely optional but Mocha gives you access to the code and you can use Discuss Mode to ask questions and get help.The best way to learn is by doing. Mocha helps you understand coding by:
  • Generating and explaining code
  • Encouraging pattern recognition in AI-generated responses
  • Allowing experimentation and debugging
It depends on complexity. By breaking tasks into smaller steps, planning ahead, and refining based on feedback, you can move quickly while ensuring quality.In a matter of minutes, you can get a landing page up and running.For more serious projects, you can expect to spend 1-2 hours to get a solid version running.
Mocha provides an AI-driven debugging tool that analyzes errors in real time. If an error occurs:
  • Click “Fix with AI”
  • Use Discuss Mode to describe the issue and ask Mocha to debug it
  • Review error logs and console output for additional details
Try refreshing your session or reviewing documentation. If the issue persists, contact Mocha Support through our support page.
We have built Mocha to be very opinionated. We’re website building experts and make the AI structure things for you. You should focus on the idea and the outcomes you want. If you describe what you want clearly, Mocha will structure the project for you.You can also use Discuss Mode to plan the next feature and have Mocha write a clear PRD (product requirements document) for you. Then switch back to edit mode and say “Build it!” and Mocha will comply.
Yes! You can use your own custom domain with Mocha. We support connecting domains from any registrar, and you can even purchase domains directly through Mocha with our IONOS integration. Learn more about custom domains.
Yes! You can download your project code at any time. Click the app name in the header, and you’ll see a download code button. Learn more about downloading your project.
Yes! Diagrams (from Miro/FigJam/etc.) and screenshots are super helpful—especially for flows and UI bugs. While videos aren’t supported yet, screenshots can often do the job. Learn more about using images.
Mocha has the concept of an “app size”. The more complex your app is, the bigger the app size. Each tier has different limits for the app size. In practice, silver tier and above have incredibly high app size limits, and you should never hit them unless you’re building a terribly complex app.
Credits are an internal mechanism Mocha uses to track usage. When you ask Mocha to do something, it uses an amount of credits proportional to the complexity of the request. Simple tasks take only a few credits, and larger tasks can take north of 100 credits (this is rare, most changes should take between 15 and 50 credits).You can see your remaining credits in the top left menu of the app.You can get more credits by upgrading to a Pro plan. Each tier refreshes your credits every month.Your credits currently do not carry from month to month.Learn more about credits in our limits guide.
Mocha doesn’t have a direct Figma import feature. However, you can:
  • Take screenshots of your Figma designs and share them with Mocha—describe what you want and the AI will recreate it
  • Describe your design in detail and let Mocha generate it
  • Use reference images to guide the AI toward your desired look
Screenshots and reference images are often very effective at communicating design intent to the AI.
Mocha is primarily AI-driven rather than drag-and-drop. Instead of manually placing elements, you describe what you want and Mocha builds it for you.That said, we do offer Direct Edit Mode which lets you click on text and edit it directly—perfect for quick content changes without using credits.We’re also working on more visual editing features for the future.
Yes! While Mocha is designed for non-technical users, you can absolutely view and edit the code if you want to:
  1. Click the code toggle in the top left to enter dev mode
  2. Browse and edit files directly
  3. Changes save automatically and the preview updates in real-time
This is completely optional—you don’t need to touch code to build with Mocha.
If Mocha misunderstands or creates something different than what you wanted:
  1. Be more specific - Add details about what you want
  2. Use screenshots - Show Mocha what you’re looking for
  3. Use Discuss Mode - Chat about your idea first before making changes
  4. Restore a previous version - Roll back and try a different approach
Breaking complex requests into smaller, specific steps often works better than asking for everything at once.
Tips for getting great results:
  • Start with a clear plan - Know what you want before you start prompting
  • Be specific - “Add a blue button that says Contact Us in the header” works better than “make it look better”
  • Use screenshots - Visual references help the AI understand what you want
  • Build incrementally - Small, focused changes are more reliable than big, complex ones
  • Use Discuss Mode - Plan complex features before building them
