whacka

Whacka is a prompt-to-app platform aimed at non-technical small business operators and independent founders. A user types a description of the tool they need — an attendance tracker, a booking form, a loyalty stamp card, an inventory log — and the platform generates a functioning mobile web app with a real backend. The output is a Progressive Web App (PWA), meaning it can be installed directly to a smartphone home screen without going through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Once published, the app is accessible through a shareable URL, which makes distribution through messaging apps like WhatsApp straightforward. The platform supports multiple languages including Arabic, Spanish, and Portuguese, reflecting a focus on markets in the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America where small businesses often rely on mobile-first workflows. Pricing follows a freemium model: a free tier provides a limited monthly credit allowance, with paid plans ranging from $9 to $79 per month depending on usage volume.
