CrossUI review
A feature-rich visual builder for developers targeting web and desktop apps.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CrossUI is a visual app builder for developers who want to create interactive web and desktop applications through drag-and-drop design. It combines more than 100 editable widgets with reusable modules, templates, icons, themes, configurable interactions and animations, and a code editor with syntax tools. The listed publishing targets are web, Windows, macOS and Linux, making CrossUI a fit for teams that need a shared visual workflow across browser and native desktop applications rather than a mobile-first tool.
Its feature depth is the main differentiator. CrossUI supports remote service calls for XML, SOAP and REST services, and its integration list includes Google Cloud Firestore, Firebase and GitHub. The embeddable designer extends the product beyond an internal development tool: it is designed for web apps and includes APIs and events, although the listed embeddable plan is limited to one domain or IP and distribution for one application. Developers seeking visual control over interfaces, reusable components and application behavior will find a broader toolkit than a basic page builder.
The pricing model favors buyers who prefer perpetual licenses. The free plan is available, while paid options include a $399 one-time single-developer non-profit license, a $999 commercial single-developer license, $1,599 non-profit and $3,999 commercial team licenses, and a $31,999 one-domain/IP embeddable designer license. All but the support option include royalty-free distribution on unlimited applications. Commercial support is document-based at $80 per hour. Choose CrossUI for visual web and desktop development with substantial UI and service-call tooling; choose another option if mobile publishing is central to the project.
