How is it free?

Most AI app builders

They use expensive US AI models to write every app from scratch, thousands of lines of code at a time. That costs a lot of AI credits, even for a basic app, and the bigger your app grows, the bigger your bill gets.

Scram

Our AI assembles your app from pre-tested component blocks instead of writing it from scratch. It runs on open-source models that have become far smarter, and far cheaper, to use. Building costs us very little, so it’s free for you.
