If you’ve built a successful website, it’s only natural to start thinking about mobile apps.
Apps give your brand a permanent spot on your users’ home screens, unlock powerful push notifications, and offer a faster, more engaging experience than mobile browsers.
The good news? You don’t have to rebuild everything from scratch - a number of tools provide the ability to turn your website into a mobile app, quickly (and without coding).
These include MobiLoud - our managed web to app service - and Convertify, a web to app software.
While they may sound similar on the surface, the reality is very different. In this article, we’ll break down how these two approaches compare - and help you decide which is right for your business.

Both MobiLoud and Convertify promise to turn your website into a mobile app. But that’s where the similarities end.
Convertify is an ultra-budget, one-time purchase tool that wraps your website into a WebView app for iOS and Android.
It’s fast and cheap (just $149) and you’ll have an app file in your inbox within 24 hours. After that, it's up to you what you do with it.
MobiLoud is a fully-managed service designed for growing businesses. We don’t just build your app - we partner with you to launch it, maintain it, and help it succeed long-term through push engagement, app store strategy, and continuous updates.
Let’s break down how the two really compare.
Convertify offers a fast, automated conversion: submit your URL, logo, and app name, and receive an app package.
There's no setup guidance, QA testing, or involvement from their team beyond initial delivery. It's about as straightforward as it gets. Sign up, pay, send them your website, they send you an app.
MobiLoud takes a hands-on approach. We configure your app for performance and polish, test it on real devices, and walk you through previews and revisions.
It’s collaborative, not transactional.
Convertify does not offer ongoing support. If your app needs an update for iOS 18 or Android 15 next year, you’re expected to handle it (or pay again).
Many reviews note slow or no response from the team after delivery. And honestly, with the cost roughly the equivalent of one hour of a developer's time, you shouldn't expect much more.
This is where MobiLoud is different (not just to Convertify, but to all no-code web to app tools). MobiLoud is full-service, and includes unlimited support and maintenance in your subscription.
We proactively update your app for OS changes, fix bugs, and ensure it keeps running smoothly for years, not just launch day. Our North American-based team is there to help you with everything app-related (so you can focus your energy on other areas of your business).
Convertify gives you a ZIP file and some instructions. You’ll need to publish the app yourself, set up your developer accounts, and navigate any rejections.
This is a much bigger time-sink and source of frustration than you'd imagine.
MobiLoud handles 100% of the publishing process, including creating store assets, writing optimized descriptions, and managing back-and-forth with Apple and Google. We even guarantee approval.
Convertify apps are WebView shells with optional features like a navigation bar or splash screen. Customization is minimal and usually requires editing config files.
MobiLoud apps include native navigation, smooth transitions, deep linking, splash screens, share sheets, and even the ability to add custom, app-exclusive experiences to your app.
All this while also retaining everything that works on your website - from the simplest integrations to the most complex features.
Convertify includes OneSignal integration, but you’re left to set it up and manage it on your own.
MobiLoud delivers unlimited push notifications with guided setup, personalized segmentation, and even done-for-you campaigns to boost retention and revenue.
Convertify ends at delivery. Their value prop is very clear - they give you an app, within 24 hours, and that's it.
MobiLoud stays with you long after launch. We're not just a packaged web to app platform - we're a partner.
We help you grow app usage, improve engagement, integrate analytics, and optimize performance as your business evolves. You’ll have real people to talk to by email, calls, or even Slack.
Convertify costs $149 - and that’s what you get: a basic app, fast, and no strings attached.
MobiLoud starts from $299/month, plus a one-time setup fee, which includes app setup, store submission, ongoing updates, unlimited push, support, and strategic guidance.
There are no hidden fees or revenue share - just a flat, predictable investment in a high-quality app channel that drives real business results.
Our pricing reflects the depth of service you get: from custom app configuration and QA testing, to app store submission, ongoing maintenance, and expert support.
Your app stays fully up-to-date with platform changes, your push notifications are set up for real engagement, and you have a team behind you every step of the way.
"Nothing out there provided us with the ease and accessibility that MobiLoud did to our team. You can’t beat the price they provided to get an app together."
- Nick Barbarise, Director of Information Technology at John Varvatos
