Platano FAQ.
Still deciding? Straight answers on setup, pricing, and what you actually get.
What is Platano?
Platano is a production-ready React Native template for AI image apps on iOS and Android. It includes Expo SDK 56, Google Gemini generation via API routes, RevenueCat subscriptions, onboarding demos, English and Spanish i18n, and Claude Code setup commands. You rebrand it for your app category and ship to the stores.
What do I get when I buy Platano?
Full source access to the Expo app, nine docs in docs/ (customization, i18n, RevenueCat, server/API routes, E2E, and more), Figma listing frames, Claude Code slash commands (/setup, /rebrand, /customize-onboarding, /configure-monetization, /add-language), and lifetime repo access with tagged releases on GitHub.
Do I need AI or machine learning experience?
No. AI generation runs through Google Gemini via Expo API Routes. The default model is Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview (alias nanobanana-pro-2 in src/config/api.ts). You edit prompts and settings in src/config/app.ts.
What kind of AI image apps can I build?
Tattoo try-on, hair color, photo enhancer, pet portraits, product shots, travel edits, and more. One template ships with before/after onboarding demos. Change prompts, theme, and copy for your App Store angle.
How long does it take to ship?
Most builders rebrand in a weekend. Clone with bunx @codewithbeto/ship, run /setup or follow the docs, configure RevenueCat, and submit to TestFlight or Google Play internal testing.
Is Platano a subscription or one-time purchase?
One-time purchase at $149. Pay once, keep the code forever. No recurring template fees.
Can I build multiple apps with one license?
Each license covers one production app. Code with Beto Pro includes Platano with unlimited app licenses plus all courses and premium templates.
How much does Google Gemini API cost?
Gemini has a generous free tier for early traffic. See docs/NANO-BANANA-API-UTILIZATION-REPORT.md in the repo for cost, latency, and quality tradeoffs by model.
Does Platano include RevenueCat and subscriptions?
Yes. RevenueCat handles the paywall, subscriptions, renewals, and restore on iOS and Android. The app uses pay-before-use with no user auth, which simplifies store review.
How are generation limits tracked?
Limits are stored locally with Expo SQLite and tied to the user's billing period. No auth server or user database required.
How do I get template updates?
Lifetime access to the Code with Beto GitHub repo. Core infrastructure lives in core/ so you can pull updates without losing customizations. New versions publish as tagged releases on GitHub.
Do I need a backend or server?
No separate backend. Gemini runs on Expo API Routes deployed with EAS. Set GEMINI_API_KEY, EXPO_PUBLIC_API_SECRET, and EXPO_PUBLIC_BASE_URL in .env.local. RevenueCat and bundle settings live in src/config/app.ts.
What if I am new to React Native?
If you know React basics, you can work with this. Expo handles native complexity. Docs are written for humans and AI coding agents, so Claude Code or Cursor can help with customization.
Is Platano based on a real App Store app?
Yes. The architecture comes from Inkigo, a live App Store app built on the same Expo, Gemini, and RevenueCat stack. The public ai-tattoo repo shows the production patterns Platano packages as a rebrandable template.
Does Platano support iOS and Android?
Yes. One Expo codebase ships to the App Store and Google Play.
What's included in the documentation?
CUSTOMIZATION.md, I18N.md, REVENUECAT.md, REVENUECAT_TEST_STORE.md, SERVER.md, FETCH-TIMEOUT.md, NANO-BANANA-API-UTILIZATION-REPORT.md, E2E.md, and plans/revenuecat-iap.md. Plus Claude Code commands in .claude/commands/ and Expo building-native-ui in .agents/skills/.
What's the difference between Platano and Pro membership?
Platano alone is a one-time purchase for one production app with lifetime updates. Pro membership includes Platano with unlimited app licenses, all courses, all premium templates, and every future release for life.
Can I get a refund?
Since this is source code with instant access, all sales are final.
