Hanzo App

What Hanzo App is

Hanzo App turns a plain-language description into an app, creating its interface, database schema, authentication, and API. You can refine the result by chatting or editing code in an in-browser editor with a live preview. The builder can also import an existing GitHub repository. Each app gets Hanzo Base, an embedded datastore with realtime queries and a schema generated from the prompt. Once ready, a one-click deployment publishes the app to a live URL on Hanzo Cloud, with its database, authentication, AI, and storage connected. Apps can call more than 500 models, including Zen, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Mistral, through one gateway. API keys are kept in Hanzo KMS rather than source code, and uploads use object storage on the same account. Hanzo lists integrations and extensions across browsers, development editors, office and design tools, communications apps, business platforms, GitHub, and GitLab. Hanzo says tenant data is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and in transit with TLS 1.3, using tenant-specific keys. The software can run on a user's own infrastructure and is described as self-hostable. A free plan is available with limited usage; paid access is listed from $19/mo. Hanzo AI says it was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Who it suits

Hanzo App suits people who want to create and deploy an app from a written description, then refine it through chat or code. It also fits developers bringing an existing GitHub repository or teams that want model access, integrations, or self-hosting options.

Limits

The Free plan includes limited usage and core app features. The Pro plan is listed at $20 a month, billed monthly; Max is $100 a month, billed monthly.

Verdict

Choose Hanzo App if you want a prompt-based app builder with an embedded datastore, live editing, and one-click deployment. The free plan is a way to start, but its usage is limited; compare the listed paid plans if you need more included usage or their additional features.
