Appilix is a no-code platform that allows you to convert your website into a mobile app in minutes.
It’s designed for speed, simplicity, and budget-friendliness. You handle setup, configuration, and publishing yourself using Appilix’s control panel and guides.
MobiLoud and Appilix may both promise to convert your website into a mobile app, but they operate with two very different goals. Here's a deeper look at how they compare across the things that really matter to serious businesses:
MobiLoud is a fully-managed, done-for-you service. We handle every part of your app’s journey—from initial setup and design to QA, app store submission, updates, and ongoing optimization. You’ll work with a real team of experts, including:
We're not just building you an app—we're building a channel that drives retention and ROI. You’ll communicate with us via Slack, calls, and regular check-ins, with a team working in your timezone (North and Latin America).
Appilix, by contrast, is a classic DIY tool. You configure the app yourself through a wizard-based interface and publish it using step-by-step guides. It’s quick—but you’re completely on your own when it comes to fixing bugs, handling app store rejections, or optimizing performance.
MobiLoud includes unlimited push notifications, with hands-on setup and automation for ecommerce (e.g. abandoned cart flows, segmentation, time-based campaigns). We help you craft a strategy that actually increases repeat revenue and LTV, and we integrate with tools like Klaviyo and OneSignal for maximum flexibility.
Appilix offers basic push through Firebase, but all targeting, automation, and segmentation must be configured manually or require custom code. There’s no built-in strategy, and no help setting things up.
MobiLoud isn’t just here for the launch—we partner with you for long-term success. Post-launch, we help with:
You’re not just getting software; you’re getting a team that’s invested in results. That’s why we’ve helped over 2,000 businesses in the last 10+ years, including trusted brands like Jack & Jones, John Varvatos, buybuyBABY, and VERO MODA.
Appilix provides documentation and email support, but you’re responsible for maintaining your app, updating it for OS changes, fixing bugs, and driving user growth.
MobiLoud delivers full feature parity with your website. Your ecommerce flows, logins, dynamic content, and custom functionality will all work flawlessly in-app. You also get:
Appilix, while effective for simple apps, offers limited customization. You’re confined to a basic UI framework, with only minor adjustments via custom JS/CSS. Ecommerce features are minimal, and integrations with marketing or analytics platforms are limited.
MobiLoud is built for growth-focused businesses that take mobile seriously. We’ve launched apps for global brands, and we understand what’s needed to go live smoothly and scale successfully. Your app is thoroughly tested across devices, and any issues are proactively resolved by our QA team.
Appilix is great for MVPs, hobby projects, or one-person startups looking for a quick, low-cost way to get an app into the stores. But if your app is mission-critical and needs to perform like a true product, it will quickly hit limitations.
MobiLoud starts at $299/month with a one-time setup fee. This includes everything: expert service, unlimited push, launch support, app store management, and ongoing updates. It’s built for businesses that want results, reliability, and peace of mind.
Appilix offers very low-cost lifetime and annual pricing ($89–$139 one-time, or ~$70/year). It’s attractive if your main priority is cost, but you’ll trade off feature depth, support, and long-term scalability.

Here's how MobiLoud and Appilix stack up in the most common web-to-app use cases. While both can technically convert a website into an app, the outcomes are significantly different when you look at complexity, scale, and the level of support needed.
MobiLoud is purpose-built for ecommerce brands that care about retention, LTV, and mobile engagement. We support everything modern ecommerce requires, including:
You’ll work directly with our team to ensure your app not only looks great, but actually converts, retains, and drives revenue—turning your app into a true profit center.
Appilix may work for very small ecommerce stores or solo entrepreneurs looking for a simple mobile storefront. You can send basic push deals and create an app presence. But with no marketing integrations, no automation, and no strategic support, it’s not built for serious growth.
Verdict:
MobiLoud is trusted by major media brands, publishers, and content businesses that need a mobile app to boost reader retention, monetize better, and extend reach. We support everything you use on your website to publish and display content and drive engagement.
Combined with our done-for-you service, it’s the fastest, most sustainable path to a polished app that supports editorial teams without increasing their workload.
Appilix can work for independent bloggers or solo publishers on WordPress who want a quick way to send push alerts and monetize via AdMob. But the UX is basic, the structure is rigid, and there's no support for large-scale publishing teams or custom media workflows.
Verdict:
MobiLoud handles complex web apps with ease.
We’ve worked with SaaS platforms, B2B tools, community platforms, education tech, and more. If your app is mission-critical, we’ll help you ship and scale mobile without rewriting your frontend or maintaining multiple codebases.
Appilix, on the other hand, acts more like a lightweight wrapper. It may work for internal tools or MVPs, but lacks the support, security, and flexibility needed for production-ready SaaS or apps with complex logic and user roles.
Verdict:
MobiLoud supports large, complex platforms with multi-user functionality. Whether it's a services marketplace, B2B portal, or niche product marketplace, with MobiLoud, it just works.
We work closely with your team to ensure seamless user experience across web and mobile, and help you launch a branded mobile presence that doesn't require rebuilding your frontend.
Appilix is likely not suited for marketplace-style platforms. Limited UI control and no custom logic support means users will likely encounter clunky or broken experiences.
Verdict:
MobiLoud is a strong fit for online communities, course platforms, or membership-based sites.
Because the app is powered by your website, there’s no duplicate content management—and our team ensures everything works smoothly, with native touches where needed.
Appilix may work for simple forums or gated blogs, but it lacks deep integration and customization flexibility. There's no support for complex member journeys, course flows, or native integrations with membership tools.
Verdict:
Both MobiLoud and Appilix help you turn a website into an app—but they serve very different needs.

Bottom line: MobiLoud is the better choice for growth-focused brands ready to invest in mobile retention, engagement, and ROI. Appilix is best for hobbyists or very small businesses, who want an app that's essentially going to cost them nothing to build.
