Businesses looking to convert their websites into mobile apps often end up comparing MobiLoud and Appy Pie—two platforms that promise iOS and Android apps without the hassles of traditional app development.

Appy Pie, on the other hand, is a DIY app builder.
Users create apps from scratch using a drag-and-drop interface and pre-made templates. It’s a budget-friendly tool designed for simple apps and users comfortable with building and maintaining everything themselves.
This is fine, if you want to go live with an app fast, for a low cost. But for brands who anticipate their app to be a serious revenue driver for their business, you'll likely need a more comprehensive solution.
While both platforms help you “create an app,” they serve radically different purposes and types of users.
MobiLoud’s team builds, tests, and launches your app, and supports it over time. You don’t learn a tool or manage a platform. Instead, you send us your site and branding, and we handle:
It’s a turnkey solution for businesses that don’t have time (or internal resources) to take on another system.
Appy Pie gives you tools, not a team. You’ll be in charge of designing your app, configuring functionality, troubleshooting issues, and keeping it updated.
That’s totally fine for basic projects or side hustles—but it’s a very different experience.
With MobiLoud, you’re not alone. You work with a real team of experts:
We’re available via Slack, calls, and email (on your timezone) to guide your app through every stage. From app store rejection handling to push campaign design, we act as a true extension of your team.
Appy Pie offers support based on your plan—email on lower tiers, chat on higher ones. But you’ll need to diagnose problems yourself, manage updates, and come up with your own growth strategies.
MobiLoud preserves 100% of your website’s functionality, wrapped in a native shell with native navigation, splash screens, and push.
Whatever works on your site (checkout flows, logins, dynamic content, third-party tools) works in your app. You don’t rebuild anything.
Appy Pie, on the other hand, asks you to recreate your app from scratch using pre-built components. For simple apps, it’s manageable. But for anything more complex—ecommerce, SaaS, membership portals—it quickly becomes limiting.
MobiLoud works with any website platform or tech stack—Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, WordPress, Webflow, headless CMSs, and fully custom setups. You don’t need to migrate or redesign anything.
Appy Pie primarily caters to simpler sites and content. It’s not built to support complex flows or tech stacks beyond standard website formats.
We handle it all: App Store and Google Play updates, compatibility with new OS versions, SDK updates, re-submissions, and more. You don’t have to worry about keeping up with Apple’s ever-changing requirements. We’ve launched thousands of apps and know exactly what’s needed.
With Appy Pie, you’re in charge. Want to update for iOS 18? Submit again after rejection? Update a module that’s deprecated? You’re on your own.
Choose Appy Pie if:
But if you're investing in mobile as a core growth channel, and want an app that performs, choose MobiLoud if:
Appy Pie gets you live for cheap. MobiLoud gets you live with confidence—and partners with you to make it work.
If you’re looking for a cheap and fast way to test the waters with a simple app, Appy Pie is a solid DIY option. It’s good for early-stage experiments or local businesses with simple needs.
But for growth-minded businesses—ecommerce, media, SaaS, or community-driven platforms—MobiLoud is the smarter investment. We provide:
You’ve already invested in a great website. Don’t start from scratch. Let us turn it into a mobile app that performs.
