Orbit review
A practical prompt-to-app builder for Supabase projects that need code export.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Orbit is Forion Systems’ browser-based AI app builder for developers who want to describe an application in natural language and receive a working project. It generates React, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind code, runs development in an in-browser WebContainer environment, and provides live preview with hot reload. The product also supports iterative editing of existing projects, source-code export, production typechecking and build verification, and Expo React Native output for mobile applications. It is best suited to developers who want AI-assisted generation while retaining access to the underlying code.
Pricing covers a free Orbit Core plan and a paid Orbit Apex tier. Orbit Core costs US$0 per month and includes Orbit Core and Orbit Pulse intelligence modes, standard model access, 200 credits with a daily refresh, and 5,000 welcome credits. Orbit Apex costs US$10 per month, billed monthly, and adds 10,000 credits per month, Orbit Apex intelligence mode, thinking mode models, advanced reasoning models, priority queue execution, and credit rollovers. Enterprise adds a dedicated queue and 99.99% SLA, custom allocation, private VPC or bare-metal infrastructure, custom invoice billing, and SSO/SAML with dedicated support. This structure makes the free plan suitable for evaluation and the paid tier relevant when higher usage and queue priority matter.
Supabase is central to Orbit’s backend workflow: the builder can scaffold databases, authentication, storage, row-level security, and edge functions. That focused integration helps teams already committed to Supabase, while the limited integration scope is less suitable for projects requiring a broader ecosystem. Orbit’s browser development environment, live preview, verification, source export, and mobile output give it a clear fit for code-exporting developers building web or Expo applications. Choose Orbit for prompt-driven development with Supabase and editable source; choose another builder if broader integrations are a primary requirement.
