The 7 Best Clothing & Fashion App Builders in 2025

App builders have transformed the app development landscape.

No longer do you need to spend hundreds of thousands building an app, and wait 6-12 months just to see if your investment will translate to revenue.

With a fashion mobile app builder, you can go live with an app in less than a month, for less than a day’s worth of sales.

There are many eCommerce-focused app builders on the market today, and we’ve narrowed down the field to seven options to consider:

1. MobiLoud
2. Plobal Apps
3. Tapcart
4. Shopney
5. Mowico
6. Shoutem
7. GoodBarber

Read on and we’ll explain the best features of each platform, and give our expert opinion on the best app builder for clothing & apparel brands in 2025.

1. MobiLoud

MobiLoud is the best app builder for any eCommerce brand – and we have a proven track record of building amazing apps for fashion brands.

Unlike many other app builders, MobiLoud is not a DIY, drag-and-drop app builder.

MobiLoud is a managed service that fully converts your website into iOS and Android apps, fully synced with your website.

You’ll retain all the features of your website in the apps, with zero rebuilding required, or pre-defined integrations blocking your most important features from working in your app.

At the same time, your apps have a fully native feel, complete with native navigation UI and push notifications.

The addition of native push notifications alone is enough to pay off the cost of your app, and then some.

“Push notifications are the cheapest and most powerful communication channel we have. We find that users who prefer to interact via an app are more loyal, buy from us more often and spend more time with our content.”

- David Cost, VP of eCommerce & Marketing at Rainbow Shops

MobiLoud works with any website platform (including Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and even custom-built eCommerce sites).

Your apps update whenever your website does, ensuring complete feature parity and consistency across platforms.

We’ve helped over 2,000 businesses launch apps, including many high-revenue fashion brands, such as:

• Tobi
• Bestseller
• John Varvatos
• Rainbow Shops
• SYN DI CATE

… and many more!

“Nothing out there provided us with the ease and accessibility that MobiLoud did to our team.”

- Nick Barbarise, Director of Information Technology at John Varvatos

“I think really the difference is the service part. We haven't had any issues, the setup was easy, the onboarding was super easy and overall the service has been great.”

- Kenneth Chan, Founder & CEO at Tobi

“I love how impactful the app is to my brand with no heavy uplift on our end from a design and cost perspective.”

-  Haven Prescott Jr, CEO at SYN•DI•CATE

If you already have a web presence that makes sales, MobiLoud is the best way to boost your reach in mobile commerce and turn your website into a revenue-generating, retention-driving mobile app.

Pros

• Integrates everything from your website into the app.
• No coding, no rebuilding required.
• Go live in less than a month, for a low cost.
• Proven results for successful fashion brands.

Cons

• Needs a mobile-optimized website to start from.
• Not as cheap as entry-level app builders.

2. Plobal Apps

Plobal Apps is a no-code app builder specifically designed for Shopify users, enabling you to create mobile apps seamlessly integrated with your Shopify store. 

It’s a good fit for fashion & clothing stores on Shopify looking to expand into mobile commerce with a DIY solution.

The platform is user-friendly, reliable, and equipped with essential mobile app features, including push notifications on all plans. 

Like many DIY app builders, Plobal has its limitations. Lower-tier plans restrict the number of third-party app and tool integrations, which may be a drawback for businesses with more complex needs.

Despite these constraints, Plobal Apps remains a solid choice for those seeking an easy-to-use, no-code solution to build and launch a Shopify-connected mobile app.

Pros

• Seamless Shopify API integration.
• No coding required for app creation.
• Push notifications available on all plans.
• Intuitive and straightforward interface.

Cons

• Exclusively compatible with Shopify.
• Pricing increases significantly on higher-tier plans.
• Limited ability to replicate your full web store experience in the app.

3. Tapcart

Tapcart is a Shopify-focused app builder designed to allow stores to expand into mobile apps.

Like Plobal Apps, it integrates seamlessly with your Shopify store via the Shopify API, allowing you to build your app using pre-designed blocks, templates, and integrations, then publish it, all with a no-code approach.

Tapcart is a more sophisticated platform than Plobal Apps and is trusted by many major brands. However, this added sophistication comes with trade-offs. 

Building and managing your app requires more effort, and with pricing that scales based on your revenue, it can become a significantly more expensive solution.

As with many DIY app builders, Tapcart presents challenges in fully replicating your web store experience within the app. Additionally, managing the app as a separate platform adds operational complexity, even though the backend remains connected to your Shopify store.

For fashion brands looking to create a high-quality app, Tapcart is worth exploring alongside options like Plobal Apps - or consider MobiLoud for a simpler, more flexible, and managed solution.

Pros

• Seamless integration with Shopify API.
• Easy-to-use, no-code drag-and-drop builder.
• Advanced features and functionality.

Cons

• Exclusively compatible with Shopify.
• API limitations restrict customization.
• Pricing can be steep, especially for high-revenue businesses.
• More effort required to build and manage the app compared to other solutions.

4. Shopney

Shopney is a straightforward and easy-to-use Shopify app builder. If you’re considering Plobal Apps or Tapcart, this is another option to put in the conversation.

It offers features such as customizable themes, in-app chat, push notifications, and smart automations linked with your Shopify store to help your fashion brand expand its reach and make more sales.

Shopney’s integrations are limited compared to, say, Tapcart or Plobal Apps, however if that doesn’t provide a blocker, it’s a solid option to consider.

Pros

• Quick and easy to use.
• Clean Shopify integration.

Cons

• Exclusively for Shopify stores.
• Limited integrations.
• Somewhat expensive.
• Difficult to recreate your web experience.

5. Mowico

Mowico is another DIY drag-and-drop app builder, like Plobal Apps and Tapcart.

Unlike other tools, it supports stores on a range of platforms, such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, Squarespace, Weebly, OpenCart, and more.

Mowico is beginner-friendly, with a simple user interface and pre-built components that allow you to go live extremely quickly.

It’s also more limited than a lot of other app builders, and if you have a lot of crucial integrations (with Shopify apps, plugins or other marketing/analytics/CRO tools), you’ll want to consider another option.

Pros

• Supports a range of eCommerce platforms.
• Basic plan is affordable (albeit limited).
• Fast, simple building process.

Cons

• Basic and bare-bones.
• Very limited integrations.
• Difficult to recreate your web experience.

6. Shoutem

Shoutem is another DIY app builder. Unlike others, it’s not tied to any platform, so it’s an option for brands just starting out and going app-first.

The building experience is simple and beginner-friendly, though again that means limiting your upside.

It integrates with Shopify, so you can set up a Shopify store to manage your backend, while making sales through the Shoutem-built app.

All up, we wouldn’t recommend Shoutem for established brands, but for small brands looking to dip their feet in the water of mobile apps, it's a simple and affordable choice.

Pros

• Startup friendly app builder with templates, CMS, cloud storage, and the ability to build from scratch.
• Free trial period.
• No coding needed.

Cons

• Limited feature set.
• Not specifically focused on eCommerce.

7. GoodBarber

Since its launch in 2011, GoodBarber has been a leading player in the no-code app builder space. It’s a versatile platform that caters to a wide range of businesses, including eCommerce brands, offering tools to quickly create functional, user-friendly apps.

GoodBarber’s eCommerce app builder provides features like subscriptions, one-click checkout, push notifications, and more. 

Its robust backend enables you to manage logistics such as shipping and taxes, making it especially appealing for brick-and-mortar businesses looking to expand into eCommerce.

While GoodBarber excels in simplicity and functionality, it does have limitations. Integrating an app with an existing website can be challenging, and the platform lacks some of the advanced features found in higher-end solutions. Nonetheless, it’s a strong option for businesses that want to create an app without coding.

Pros

• No coding skills required.
• Intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
• Comprehensive tools to build mobile apps from scratch.

Cons

• Limited integration options for existing websites.
• Missing some advanced, high-level features.

The Best Fashion App Builders: Final Thoughts

What do you need in an app builder?

Assuming you already have a moderately successful (at least) web store, you need:

• A way to rebuild the same design and features you’ve had success with in the app.
• Push notifications built in (to run promotional campaigns, recover abandoned carts, and more).
• As much as possible done for you (to avoid adding a ton of extra work to your plate).
• Minimal overhead once you launch the app.
• A native experience you can easily tweak and customize.
• Full consistency with your website, even as you make changes to your site (such as adding new features, or seasonal changes).
