MobiLoud: An Apptile Alternative with Less Effort and Higher Upside

Apptile is good for...

If you're looking for a no-code, drag-and-drop app builder, Apptile can be a good choice.

It's user-friendly, and easy to navigate even for someone with no prior development experience.

One of the best selling points is its price - starting at $49 per month, you can go live with an app (albeit a simple one) for much less than any other Shopify app builder.

The platform may not be as sophisticated as others, but if you're looking for a way to go live quick and cheaply, Apptile is worth a look.

Why MobiLoud is different

MobiLoud is a no-code solution that fully converts your store into an app, rather than giving you a platform to rebuild it.

Unlike DIY, drag-and-drop solutions, MobiLoud is a done-for-you service that transforms what you already built for the web into native apps.

Why Mobiloud is the best Apptile alternative

MobiLoud comes with fewer limits and less operational overhead than app builders like Apptile.

You'll keep all the best parts of your website when you launch your app. Custom features, integrations with Shopify apps, and the elements you've carefully tested and tweaked to maximize conversions and AOV - everything works out of the box.

With other tools, you'll have to try and rebuild these elements within the app, and most of the time you'll find it's not fully possible.

With MobiLoud, there are no limits. Anything you can do on your website, you can do in the app as well.

This, in addition to unlocking the amazing power of push notifications, as a way to drive sales and engagement for no cost, in just a few clicks.

The best part is the time and effort you save.

No rebuilding. No tinkering. No work.

We build your apps, publish them to the app stores, and take care of maintenance and updates after you launch.

You continue to manage just one platform (your website), while spreading your reach to millions of potential app users, with no added work.

How much does MobiLoud cost?
FAQ open/close button.

MobiLoud plans start from just a few hundred dollars per month, rising depending on your requirements.

This is in addition to a one-time setup fee, which covers the work our team does to build and publish your apps.

The cost is a little more expensive than Apptile upfront - but over time, we'll save you money by reducing the amount of labor required to manage your apps.

We also put fewer limits on the revenue potential of your app, so the ROI of building an app with MobiLoud often turns out to be far superior.

How long will it take?
FAQ open/close button.

It typically takes up to 4 weeks (potentially less) to launch your apps.

This includes the time it takes for our developers to code the native elements in your app, and integrate your website with the apps.

We thoroughly test the apps before launch, and you'll also have the opportunity to test it yourself and provide feedback.

At the end of it all, we handle the app store submission process for you.

All that - in less than a month, you can have your own mobile apps live, in the app stores and on your customers' devices.

Will it work with my website?
FAQ open/close button.

Yes!

No matter your tech stack, MobiLoud will work seamlessly.

Shopify, Shopify Plus, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Magento, BigCommerce, even custom websites... MobiLoud works perfectly.

It's platform-agnostic. We're not tied to any specific platform. If you migrate to a new platform, or add custom features to your website, your MobiLoud apps will keep working with no disruption.

And any integrations or features from you website will work seamlessly in your apps. There are truly no limits.

Are MobiLoud apps native apps?
FAQ open/close button.

While the content within your apps is shared with your website, the apps themselves are built with native code.

Your users will be able to download the apps and load them on their mobile devices, just like any native app.

You'll be able to send native push notifications - not mobile web notifications like a website or a PWA.

From your customers' perspective, they'll be using an app that looks and feels like a custom native app; with none of the work, cost, time investment and overhead for you.

Do I need to know how to code?
FAQ open/close button.

Not at all!

While your apps will be built with native code, the experience from your end is fully no-code.

Our developers handle all the technical parts, while the content within your app is managed from your website.

If you want to add a new feature, change the design, make a tweak, just do so through your web platform, and your apps update automatically.
