Top 10 Tools to Convert Your Website into a Mobile App (Updated for 2025)

Businesses in 2025 need a more reliable way to engage with mobile users, and retain their top customers.

And that way is a mobile app.

When you convert your website into a mobile app, you build a stickier, mobile-first user experience, that keeps users engaged for longer, and allows you to build long-term relationships and greater mindshare with push notifications, and an icon on your user’s home screen.

Today, most websites are good enough on mobile to make a smooth transition into a mobile app. There also happens to be a number of well-established tools on the market to help you turn your website into an app.

In this article, we’ll break down the best tools, the main benefits of each, and what kind of websites each tool is best suited for, to help you make an informed decision and build an app that drives real growth for your business.

1. MobiLoud

If you want high-quality native apps without the technical headaches, MobiLoud is for you. We’ll convert your existing website (no matter how complex) into polished native apps for both iOS and Android.

Many web to app platforms are packaged, DIY tools that deliver a buggy, or very basic result, with limited support.

MobiLoud stands out for the full-service approach. We manage the entire process, from development to app store submission and ongoing maintenance. 

In addition, your apps will preserve all the features of your website while adding native elements like tab navigation, push notifications, and native sharing. The end result looks and feels like a native app; for less work (and less overhead) than resource-intensive DIY tools.

2. AppMySite

Best for: WordPress and WooCommerce site owners seeking easy, fast, and affordable native apps.

AppMySite offers a seamless conversion experience for WordPress and WooCommerce sites. This no-code platform automatically imports your website's content, menus, and products, allowing you to customize your app through a visual editor.

You'll appreciate how quickly you can go from website to app; many users complete the process in just a few hours. The platform handles the technical aspects while giving you control over branding and design elements.

The tradeoff for speed and simplicity is in functionality, though, so you may run into limitations if you want to expand past a very simple app experience.

Why choose AppMySite:

• Zero coding required—build a mobile app in just four steps
• Real-time preview via built-in emulators
• Automatic content syncing with your WordPress site
• Support for WooCommerce, including in-app purchasing
• Free tier to design and preview your app before paying

Pricing: Plans start from around $49/month, with options for single-platform (Android only) or dual-platform (Android and iOS) apps.

3. Twinr

Best for: Rapid mobile app launches.

If you need to launch an app quickly, Twinr is worth a look. This platform converts your existing site into a native app shell while adding mobile-specific features like push notifications.

Along with a drag-and-drop app builder, the platform offers abandoned cart push notifications, native navigation elements, and guaranteed app store approvals, at a much lower price than building from scratch.

Why choose Twinr:

• Convert any website into a mobile app "in just minutes"
• Send personalized push notifications, including cart abandonment reminders
• Add native elements like bottom navigation and custom splash screens
• Support for in-app purchases and AdMob integration
• 14-day free trial with no credit card required

Pricing: Affordable tiered plans ranging from $25/month (Basic) to $125/month (Premium).

4. BuildFire

Best for: Companies wanting extensive customization through a user-friendly no-code builder.

BuildFire gives you the power to create highly customized apps without writing a single line of code. Their platform offers a modular plug-in system with over 150 pre-built components for everything from ecommerce to media players and loyalty programs.

While not exclusively designed for website conversion, BuildFire excels if you want to build a differentiated experience for your mobile app.

The drag-and-drop interface makes it accessible for non-developers, yet the results can be remarkably sophisticated.

Why choose BuildFire:

• Extremely user-friendly interface for non-technical users
• Extensive plugin marketplace for adding specialized features
• True native app performance (not just a webview)
• Support for push notifications (up to 100k per month on standard plan)
• Developer SDK available for custom functionality

Pricing: Mid-to-high range subscription model, starting at approximately $165/month for the Standard plan.

5. AppPresser

Best for: WordPress-powered sites needing strong plugin integrations.

If your website runs on WordPress, AppPresser may be a good fit.

It has dedicated integrations for popular plugins: e.g., WooCommerce (for ecommerce in a content app), BuddyPress or BuddyBoss (for community/forums), LearnDash (for online courses), and allows you to build and customize your app within WordPress itself.

Like AppMySite, there’s a ceiling to how good your app can be; but if you’re looking for a simple and affordable solution, that allows you to work within the ecosystem you’re already familiar with, it’s worth a look.

Why choose AppPresser:

• Build and manage your app directly from your WordPress admin panel
• Seamless integration with popular WordPress plugins
• Trigger push notifications from WordPress when publishing new content
• Add custom CSS/JS to fine-tune your app's appearance
• Preview changes instantly before building

Pricing: Between $59–$79/month (billed annually), plus a potential app store submission fee (often waived with annual plans).

6. GoodBarber

Best for: Content publishers, news sites, or online magazines prioritizing great design.

GoodBarber has earned its reputation for creating beautiful content and news apps. If design quality matters to your brand, you'll appreciate their wide range of design-centric templates and extensive customization options.

What sets GoodBarber apart is its flexibility in content sources and publishing platforms. You can pull in articles from WordPress, videos from YouTube, podcasts, or external RSS feeds—then publish simultaneously to iOS, Android, and as a Progressive Web App.

If you simply want to publish your existing website, largely as it is, as an app, GoodBarber may not be the best fit, as it will require extensive rebuilding. But like BuildFire, it’s a good option if you want to build a unique experience in your mobile app.

Why choose GoodBarber:

• Superior design flexibility—apps made with GoodBarber don't all look the same
• Support for multiple content sources in a single app
• Simultaneous deployment to native apps and PWA
• Offline reading capabilities for content
• Extensions for live streaming, monetization, and community features

Pricing: Tiered plans from approximately $36/month (Standard) to $135/month (Pro), with the lower tier primarily covering PWA and Android.

7. Cordova/Capacitor

Best for: Web-based SaaS businesses maximizing existing web development skills.

If you or your team are already proficient with web development, Apache Cordova (and its modern variant Capacitor by Ionic) offers a developer-friendly approach. 

These frameworks wrap your existing web application in a native container, allowing it to run as a mobile app while accessing native device features.

The major advantage here is code reuse. You can literally take your responsive web app and bundle it as is. This is perfect for SaaS products where the web app is the primary platform, and you want to offer an app version without rebuilding from scratch.

Of course, there’s a greater development load and expertise barrier with this than a ready-made tool or service, so if you’re looking for a no-code solution, try one of the options mentioned earlier.

Why choose Cordova/Capacitor:

• Maximum code reuse—maintain one codebase for web and mobile
• Freedom to use any web technology stack (React, Angular, Vue, etc.)
• Access to device features via plugins (camera, GPS, push notifications)
• Unified development and maintenance process
• Ability to debug in browser environments

Pricing: Free and open-source. Your only costs come from development time and app store accounts.

8. React Native

Best for: SaaS or tech startups wanting high-quality, native-feeling apps.

If you're looking for apps that truly feel native but don't want to build separate codebases for iOS and Android, React Native offers an excellent middle ground. This framework uses JavaScript and React to create mobile apps with real native UI components.

Unlike webview-based approaches, React Native produces apps that perform very much like fully native ones. This is ideal for SaaS dashboards or interactive applications where user experience quality matters, but you still want cross-platform efficiency.

Why choose React Native:

• Native look and feel with a single codebase (typically 85%+ shared code)
• Excellent performance for most app interfaces
• Hot reloading for faster development cycles
• Huge ecosystem of libraries and support
• Used by major companies like Facebook, Instagram, and Tesla

Pricing: Free and open-source. You'll only pay for development time and app store accounts.

9. Flutter

Best for: High-performance, visually impressive cross-platform apps.

Google's Flutter takes cross-platform development to another level by using its own rendering engine to draw the UI. The result? Exceptionally smooth animations and pixel-perfect designs that look identical across iOS and Android.

Flutter is particularly well-suited for apps with custom designs, rich animations, or complex visual elements. If you want your app to stand out visually while maintaining high performance, Flutter delivers impressive results.

Why choose Flutter:

• High-performance UI with 60fps animations (or 120fps on capable devices)
• Complete control over every pixel of your design
• Hot reload for incredibly fast development iterations
• Full customization of the look and feel
• Growing ecosystem of packages and plugins

Pricing: Free and open-source. Your costs come from development time and app store accounts.

10. Progressive Web App (PWA) + Wrapper

Best for: Businesses prioritizing speed, efficiency, and minimal development effort.

The Progressive Web App approach represents the most efficient path from website to app-like experience. By transforming your website into a PWA (with features like offline support, home screen installation, and push notifications), you can deliver an app-like experience without building a separate app.

For Android, you can submit your PWA to the Play Store using Trusted Web Activities (TWA). For iOS, you'll need a native wrapper around your PWA (plus some level of native functionality) to get into the App Store—tools like PWABuilder make this process relatively straightforward (though be warned it may take some work before you can get your app approved for publishing).

Why choose the PWA approach:

• Minimal development effort if your site is already responsive
• Update your "app" just by updating your website
• No app store reviews for content updates
• Push notifications on Android (and now iOS 16.4+)
• Cost-effective and fast to implement

Pricing: Mostly free to implement as a PWA, with potential minimal costs for solutions that wrap it as a mobile app.
