What are the Vibecode apps for building Android Apps?

Hi Vibers!

A bit about me - I have 7.5 YoE in Database and Data Engineering (Apache Kafka and Apache Flink majorly, with Databricks here and there) along with languages like Python, SQL, etc. with Cloud tech and many more.

I am not experienced in any of the Frontend stacks neither have I worked with building mobile Apps. Hence I am here asking for help.

I want to just bring and test my ideas into Android apps - passion ones - which if works might even be shared with others.

I don't have any specific use case in mind. But would like to try the "Hello World" of the android apps - FINANCE TRACKER.
The reason is to understand the basic structure of the setup and ecosystem.

I am looking to vibe code this basic app, BUT, I wish to have a hand/control over the code, rather than having it as a complete no-code/low-code setup.

I got to know Expo.dev can be used as a base setup for building Android/iOS apps and pairing it with any AI programming tool (like Claude or GitHub Copilot) could help with producing the required results.

Are there any better platform(s)/ways to achieve this? (if possible in the free tire? A few posts suggested that we will have to pay for Pro version, that costs $20, to get better models and increased tokens)
Is it possible to achieve in free tire?

Badly in need of help. Thanks in Advance!
