Mortar — frequently asked questions

An AI app builder that turns a plain-English description into a real, production Django application — real code, a real database, a live preview, and full source export.

Yes. Every project is a real Django repository you can export in full and run anywhere — there is no proprietary runtime and no vendor lock-in.

Yes — a real relational database (SQLite in preview, Postgres-ready), with real Django migrations.

Yes — one-click full source export; run it on any host with no dependency on Mortar.

Developers and agencies who want to build fast but keep real, maintainable, ownable code.

Both — publish and Mortar hosts it (plans from $6/mo, a real always-on machine and database), or export the code and self-host anywhere. Hosting is a convenience, never a requirement.

Yes — buy a domain through Mortar and it connects itself (DNS + HTTPS automatic), or point a domain you already own with a short guided DNS step.

Yes — connect your own Stripe keys and describe the paid feature; Mortar wires real Django + Stripe, and customers pay straight into your Stripe account.
