Overview

Refine turns existing REST APIs or Supabase projects into React-based internal applications. It analyses the connected backend to create a blueprint for its AI agents, then lets you build the app in a web IDE by prompting or by editing the generated code. Finished apps can be exported as React code or published on your own infrastructure.

Development teams building React internal tools and admin panels on existing REST APIs or Supabase.
Pricing
Starter is $0.99/month for 300 credits, Pro is $20.00/month for 1,500 credits, and Enterprise is quote-only.

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

  • Exports pure React code you own, with no black box
  • Connects to existing REST APIs or Supabase projects
  • Self-hosting with Okta, Azure AD and Cognito support
  • Built-in ACL, RBAC and ABAC access control

Trade-offs

  • Usage is metered in credits; Starter includes only 300 per month

  • SSO and opting out of data training are Enterprise-only
  • Enterprise pricing is quote-only

How this score is made up

Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

  • MCP support

    Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.

  • API quality

    Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.

  • Documentation

    Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.

  • Agent friendliness

    How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.

  • Pricing transparency

    Whether real prices are published, self-serve signup exists, and usage costs are knowable without a sales call.

  • Changelog

    A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.

  • Marketing site structure

    Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.

  • Page speed

    How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.

  • Operational trust

    Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

Measured, but not part of the score

Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

  • Openness

    Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.

  • Maintenance

    Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
