I Had Fable 5.1 and 5 Build Me the Same App
Nate Herk gave the same instructions to two versions of the Fable AI tool — version 5 and the newer 5.1 — to build an identical app.
Version 5.1 cost $500 and took 12 hours, while version 5 cost $1200 and took 36 hours. He tested both apps, conducted blind user tests, and compared cost and build time to determine which was better.
