Anything Review, Pricing & Alternatives (2026)

Anything is an AI app builder from Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, former Google colleagues. The company says it started in 2021, reached $1 million in revenue, and raised from Uncork, but those milestones are not tied to the same year. Create launched in 2024, then Anything launched on August 8, 2025, after two years of iteration. The company announced an $11 million Series A in September 2025 at a reported $100 million valuation, led by Footwork with Uncork, Bessemer, and M13. Anything targets people who want to describe a product in natural language instead of connecting separate frontend, backend, database, authentication, payment, and hosting services. The company announced its $2 million anything.com domain purchase on December 11, 2025, but the product site remains createanything.com.

Anything turns a plain-language description into a working web or mobile application and continues development through conversation. A project can include a frontend, backend, database, authentication, payments, AI features, integrations, and built-in hosting. The company says users can submit apps to the App Store with one click, download generated code, and deploy projects elsewhere. Anything Max changes the workflow from short request-and-response exchanges to longer autonomous jobs. Its browser-using agent can inspect an application visually, find failures, apply fixes, run automated tests, and ship changes. The company reports more than 100-step runs and sessions exceeding 30 minutes in beta, which makes Max more suitable for multi-stage debugging than basic prompt-to-code generation.

Anything routes requests across several model families rather than exposing one permanent underlying model. Its documentation lists Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT and Codex, Google Gemini, Moonshot Kimi, and open-source models, while the model switcher allows users to override routing. Current documentation names Claude Opus 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8, GPT-5.3 Codex and GPT-5.4, Gemini 3.1 Pro and 3.0 Flash, and Kimi K2.6. Those names can change as providers release models. Anything Max launched on September 26, 2025, as an autonomous browser-using engineer. The company reports a beta success rate above 97 percent on its hardest problems, alongside parallel agents, visual quality checks, automated tests, and a one-million-token context window. These performance figures are company claims.

Anything uses credits for paid access. Pro costs $24 per month with monthly billing, or $19 per month equivalent with annual billing charged at $228 upfront, and includes 20,000 monthly credits. Max starts at $239 per month for 200,000 credits, with published tiers reaching 900,000 credits for $1,079 monthly. Annual billing is charged upfront, gives two months free, and includes displayed bonus credits on the listed Max tiers, with the applicable bonus varying by tier. Top-ups cost $12 for 10,000 credits, $60 for 50,000, $120 for 100,000, or $240 for 200,000. Purchased top-ups do not expire, while monthly credits do. Public plans show unlimited projects, public projects, and messages, but building requires a paid subscription.

Anything's main limitation is uncertainty around governance and deployment controls. The company does not publish a public platform API, full customer-operated platform deployment, or a clear policy explaining whether prompts and project data train provider models. It also does not present the platform as open source. Compared with Emergent, Anything emphasizes model choice and autonomous browser testing, while Emergent's Enterprise plan offers customer-VPC deployment and self-hosted database support, not full platform self-hosting. Compared with Replit, Bolt, and Lovable, Anything's clearest distinction is its bundled mobile path and App Store submission. Teams handling sensitive code should obtain written privacy and licensing terms before adoption. Founders building and shipping consumer apps may consider Anything, subject to their privacy, licensing, deployment, and budget requirements.
