Native AI vs Breakdance
Breakdance is a visual builder from Soflyy with a theme builder, forms, popups and WooCommerce templates in the box. Version 3.0 (a release candidate in October 2026) lets you connect your own AI agent over MCP. Native AI is a builder with the plugins around it built in — and its own AI agent that works across all of it.
Choose Breakdance if…
you want a mature visual builder with forms, popups and WooCommerce templates in the box, prefer to bring your own AI agent over MCP, and already use separate plugins for SEO, analytics and email marketing.
Choose Native AI if…
you want the AI built in — designing whole sites from a description, editing pages with your design system, and working across SEO, analytics, a CRM, your store and reports — with AI credits included, nothing to connect, and one plugin instead of a stack of them.

The AI
Breakdance
Breakdance 3.0 (a release candidate in October 2026) adds an MCP connector: you connect your own AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor — and it can create pages, templates, headers and footers, selectors and variables. No AI fee is listed; you pay your AI provider. A separate AI Writing Assistant, using your own OpenAI key, helps with text.
Native AI
An agent that builds with the same elements you edit: it designs whole sites from a description, edits any page with your design system, and works across the site — content types, plugins, popups, analytics and reports — planning bigger work for your approval, with an undo for everything. AI credits come with every plan.
