Zite Review: AI App Builder, Pricing & My Test Results

Zite is an AI builder for business apps. You describe the app in a chat, and it builds the screens, a database and the sign-in, then publishes the app on a Zite address. It is made by Restly, Inc., the company behind the Fillout forms tool, and it pitches itself at teams that want to run their operations on one system.

I tested the free plan, which I signed up for myself and paid nothing for. You get unlimited apps and users, 5,000 records and 10 messages a day, and the Zite badge stays on your app. Pro is $25 a month and Business is $89.

Every number here comes from my own tests and my own monitors. Nothing is estimated or copied, Zite never saw the review first, and every app builder gets the same brief, checks, changes and attacks. I used Zite's free plan, so some tests could not run. This review is based on eight graded tests. I left out two: payments and emails need accounts of yours, and support has not yet answered my questions.

The free plan was enough to build and publish my test app. Going further means Pro, which adds a custom domain, removes the Zite badge and lifts the daily message limit. Prices read on 27 October 2026: Pro is $25 a month, or $20 a month billed yearly.

Here is the number you will ask about first. In total I paid nothing. The free plan gave me 150 credits this month with the bonus credits, and I used about 25 of them. The cost is in the limits instead: ten messages a day and no custom domain.

At Pro's price of $25 for 100 credits, 25 credits is about $6. So the build and seven changes are cheap, if you can send the messages. Running the app costs more: my own checks used 553 of the 1,000 runs a month that Free allows, so a busy studio would pass that and need Pro. I did not test what 1,000 bookings a month would cost.

Zite's first answer was small. In about half a minute it set up the app with a sign-in and nothing inside, and asked me to connect Stripe and an email account. I could not do that on a free test, so I told it to build everything else.

That second message built the timetable, bookings, the capacity rule, class credits, the three role screens, the admin's tools and the Ask the studio form, in about seven minutes. I published, and the app was live on Zite's address about eleven minutes after my brief.

Zite was honest about what it left out: the pass purchase and the emails. It also chose to sign people in with a link sent by email, because, it said, "Proper password sign-in isn't available on this platform."

Nearly all of it: 22 of 24 checks passed. The two that failed need a password, signing up with one and resetting it, because Zite signs people in with an emailed link. I left out six more checks, the payment and email ones, because they need accounts of yours.

Booking, cancelling, the capacity rule, class credits, the coach's attendance list, the admin's class tools, the CSV file, the booking counts and the Ask the studio form all worked, and nothing was invented. Instead of a pass purchase, the app says "Online pass purchase isn't available yet", and an admin adds credits by hand.

This is the test that shows whether you can keep working on the app. Seven of the twelve changes ran, and all seven worked. The free plan allows ten messages a day, and that limit stopped the rest.

Two of my messages ran together, because my script typed the colour change and the About page into the same box, and Zite did both. After the capacity change it told me its home page card still said six places, then fixed it itself. The bug I planted, taking the credit refund out, was undone with one message.

The email change was the tenth message. Zite did not build it: it asked me to connect an email sender, then said "No messages remaining today." I stopped there.

Publishing was one click. The app was live on a zite.so address with HTTPS about twenty seconds later. A custom domain is behind a paywall, so I could not connect mine, and the Zite badge stays on the app.

No page scrolled sideways at four widths. On a phone the menu runs out of room, so the last tab is cut off, and the Zite badge sits over the content. I measured only the home page, because Google's tool cannot sign in. Right after a republish some app requests took up to a minute, though the pages loaded quickly.

Every day I also run the Zite speed test.

A review tells you what happened on one day. This tells you what happens every day after. My own monitor opens the app every five minutes for 30 days, from 27 October to 26 November 2026, and records whether it answered and how fast.

Zite hosts the app on its free plan, so a Zite outage would show here. That makes this record a test of whether a free app stays up.

Every check so far is on the Zite uptime record.

Both of my attacks were blocked. Asking for another member's bookings returned only my own, and a member calling the admin requests, delete class included, was told "You do not have access to this." A visitor with no sign-in was refused too.

The weak spot is the first admin. The first person to sign up as admin is approved at once, so a stranger who reached a new app before its owner would get the role. Zite's own chat told me to sign in first as admin. My second admin had to wait for approval.

There are no passwords at all. You get a link by email, and it arrived in about ten seconds, so there is no password reset to try.

Yes: six of six data checks passed. Bookings and the form wrote records, and they stayed through reloads, every republish and the colour change. The admin could view, edit and delete in the app, the data panel let me edit a record, and the bookings downloaded as a CSV file.

Any table exports as CSV on the free plan. Deleting a class cancels its upcoming bookings and gives the credits back, and the app asks you before it does it. I did not try backup and restore.

I did not run payments, and this test is not graded. Zite asked me to connect Stripe and an email account, and I connected neither, because those are accounts of yours. The app shows the $95 pass but says online purchase is not available yet, so an admin adds credits by hand.

The sign-in emails did arrive, in about ten seconds. The booking emails were not built, so I cannot tell you how well they work.

On the free plan I found no way to take the code out. The Code tab lets you read every file of the app, but there is no download button, and the Source control panel for GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket says "Coming soon".

Your data is easier to take: any table exports as CSV, and the admin's bookings file downloaded. Zite's home page says "Own your data and export anytime." The terms page on zite.com is Fillout's, from 2022, and I found nothing in it about who owns an app built with Zite. I did not try a paid plan, which may add an export.

I emailed Zite support the same three questions every builder gets: how to stop people signing up as admin, how to export data and code, and how to cancel. A reply came in about a minute, from Fillout's support address, but it only asked whether I wanted to delete the account or cancel a plan. I answered, and had no answer to my questions when I wrote this, so support is not graded.

On a free plan there is nothing to cancel, and you cannot be charged, because I never entered a card. To close the account you delete the organization in Settings, which removes everything in it, so I did not. I will update this section when support answers.

I could not find reviews of Zite to read. Trustpilot has no page for zite.com that I could find on 27 October 2026, and G2's page would not load for me. Read what other customers say before you decide.

If this were my studio, I would try Zite on the free plan, because it gave me a working booking app in eleven minutes without a card. I would sign up as the admin myself first, and I would plan to pay for Pro as soon as I wanted my own domain or more than ten messages a day.

It suits teams that want to test a business app builder before they pay, and that are happy to sign people in by an emailed link. It suits you less if you need your own domain on day one, a code download or a password sign-in. I could not try payments or emails, and Zite's support team has not yet answered my questions.

The eight graded tests average 3.8 out of 5, and I rate Zite 3.8. Build speed and the database are the highest, because the app was live in eleven minutes and every record survived. Export is the lowest, because I found no way to take the code out on the free plan.
