# NativeExpress > A commercial React Native and Expo boilerplate. You buy a licence and receive the > source on GitHub: a working iOS and Android app with authentication, Postgres, > payments, push, analytics and three AI features already wired together. NativeExpress is a paid starter kit you own and edit, not a library you install or a framework you build against. It is bought once, not subscribed to, and every future version is included. Licences are one-time and priced in USD, and differ only in how many developer seats they cover: Solo $229 (1 seat), Startup $599 (up to 5 seats), Agency $1,124 (up to 10 seats). Every tier allows commercial use and includes lifetime updates; the two larger tiers add client work, priority support and a 90-minute consulting call. That call is also sold on its own for $149. Supabase provides Postgres, authentication and edge functions. RevenueCat handles in-app purchases, OneSignal push, PostHog analytics and Sentry crash reporting. The AI features run on OpenRouter through the Vercel AI SDK. Styling is Uniwind, which is Tailwind CSS for React Native, with HeroUI Native components. The repository ships skills for coding agents: a setup skill that configures every integration and verifies each step, a design skill that themes the app, and scripts that strip out the features and vendors an app does not need. The current release is 2.1.2, published 2026-10-05. Technical questions are answered by the documentation rather than by this site. Every page there is also available as Markdown by appending `.md` to its URL, and https://docs.native.express/llms.txt indexes all of them. ## Documentation - [NativeExpress documentation](https://docs.native.express): The full documentation: setup, every integration, and store submission. - [Documentation index for agents (llms.txt)](https://docs.native.express/llms.txt): Every documentation page as a titled, described link.
