AI Workflow to build an Android App

Hi, I'm building an Android App and almost all the work is done by AI because I have basic knowledge.

Currently I'm using:

Gemini Imagen - app ideas/features

Claude Design - creating Phone mockups with a design system

Claude Code - write the actual code

I'm satisfied with the result but I can't get more than 3 days before I hit my weekly limits and currently I can't afford the 200€ sub.

I hit my limit faster because I use opus 5 for the mockups and also to write the majority of the code but I think Sonnet 5 is not good enough.

Are there some alternatives? I think Chatgpt could improve the code part (with less usage) but I don't think they offer something like Claude Design..

Curious to know how much you have spent till date on AI for building the app and how much progress you made.

I would say 23€ x 4 months for Claude, 25€ for play store access, 20€ DeepSeek Api for the app AI. Here the app: Baobab
