MobiLoud
A managed website-to-app service. Instead of rebuilding your store in an editor, it converts your existing mobile site into iOS and Android apps with native navigation, push and deep linking, on any platform including headless.
MobiLoud vs Appmaker
MobiLoud wraps your existing mobile site in a native shell, on any stack, managed end to end. Appmaker builds the app as its own experience, with layouts, merchandising and logic that can differ from your website wherever that converts better.

Explore the full feature comparison
| Feature breakdown | MobiLoud | Appmaker |
|---|---|---|
| What gets builtThe fundamental difference | Your existing mobile website inside a native shell, with native navigation, push and deep linking. It is a webview-and-shell model rather than a from-scratch native build. | Genuinely native iOS and Android apps built as their own experience, with real-time two-way Shopify sync for products, orders and customers. |
| Design & customizationHow far the app can move from the site | Website-led design with native navigation. Your web team can build app-specific pages and layouts on your existing platform, with MobiLoud supporting configuration and code injection. | Appmaker Studio drag-and-drop with real-time preview, plus Code Blocks and the Open Model on Enterprise, so the app can diverge from the site wherever that converts better. |
| Effort to launchWhat your team has to do | Minimal internal effort: MobiLoud handles setup, publishing and ongoing maintenance. Roughly six to eight weeks to launch. | Self-serve studio with app-success services alongside. Once you are live, marketing ships campaigns without engineering tickets. |
| PersonalizationDifferent shoppers, different app | Whatever your website already does, since the app renders the same experience. | Conditional Blocks driven by Shopify tags, metafields and customer data. |
| IntegrationsLoyalty, reviews, subscriptions, email | Compatible with your existing Shopify apps because it renders your site; push runs via OneSignal or Klaviyo, configured to your account. | 160+ integrations with unlimited push and scheduled campaigns built in, plus custom integrations on Enterprise. |
| Pricing modelWhat you commit to | Business is $1,499/mo ($1,274/mo billed annually), plus a separately quoted one-time development and submission fee. It includes 10,000 monthly active users; additional usage is $50 per 1,000. Enterprise is quoted by usage and scope. | $999/mo + 0.5% (Growth); Enterprise from $2,000/mo + 0.3%. Solutioning and one-time development are billed separately. |
| Beyond ShopifyHeadless, multi-backend, multi-region | Platform-agnostic and the strongest option here for headless: WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, WordPress and custom builds. | Shopify-first; sister product AppBuzz converts BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Wix and custom stacks using the same web-to-app approach at a lower entry point. |

Which one your situation calls for
If your mobile site is already excellent and you are off Shopify or headless, MobiLoud is the right answer and we will say so. Pick Appmaker when these apply.

You want a self-serve platform and a clear scope for any custom development.
You want to change the app weekly
A studio your marketing team drives, not a managed maintenance queue.
You want segment-level personalization

Your users come with you
The migration is built to keep existing app users, customer data and push subscribers. We confirm the scope in writing for your store.
Your listings stay yours
You keep your App Store and Play Store listings, so ratings and reviews stay attached to them. Ask us to confirm this against your specific setup.
Your agency can run it
Open Model developer access means your agency or in-house team can own the migration, with our team alongside.
Migrations are designed to carry your users across intact. Get the specifics in writing (customer data, ratings and your push-subscriber list), and export what you can from your current platform before you cancel anything.
Questions merchants ask
Is a MobiLoud app a native app?
MobiLoud apps ship to the App Store and Google Play with native navigation, push and deep linking, but the screens render your mobile website in a native shell. Appmaker apps are built natively as their own experience.
How long does MobiLoud take to launch?
Roughly six to eight weeks, with MobiLoud handling setup, publishing and maintenance.
Are web-to-app conversions real native apps?
They ship as real apps on both stores, but the model is different: MobiLoud and AppBuzz wrap your existing site in a native shell with native navigation and push, which works well when your mobile site is already optimised. Appmaker builds the app experience natively rather than rendering your site.
How much does MobiLoud cost?
Business is $1,499/mo ($1,274/mo billed annually), plus a separately quoted one-time development and submission fee. It includes 10,000 monthly active users; additional usage is $50 per 1,000. Enterprise is quoted by usage and scope.
We are not on Shopify. Does that shrink our options?
Considerably. Nearly every builder in this space is Shopify-exclusive. MobiLoud works with any stack including headless; Appmaker's sister product AppBuzz covers Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Wix and custom sites; MageNative supports Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and BigCommerce.
How long does an Appmaker launch take?
Most no-code builders get you live in days to a few weeks including app-store submission. Managed conversions like MobiLoud take roughly six to eight weeks given the hands-on build.
Can I migrate from MobiLoud to Appmaker without losing my app users?
Yes, that is what the migration is designed for. Your existing app users, customer data and push subscribers come across, and your current app stays live while the new one is built. We confirm the scope in writing for your setup before you cancel anything.
Will my App Store and Play Store ratings carry over?
You keep your existing store listings, so the ratings and reviews attached to them stay in place. Because the details depend on how your current app was published, ask us to confirm it against your setup rather than taking it as a blanket guarantee.
Can Appmaker recreate my existing MobiLoud app?
Yes, that is the usual starting point. We rebuild your current screens in Appmaker Studio, and anything the standard blocks do not cover gets built as a Code Block. Bring your current app to the call and we will walk it screen by screen.
Can my agency manage the migration?
Yes. Open Model developer access on Enterprise gives your agency or in-house engineering team custom logic, React-based components and custom APIs, so they can own the build with our team alongside.
