The 6 Best Magento Mobile App Builders in 2026

There’s one thing all Magento stores have in common - they aren't simple. 

If you're running Magento 2 Open Source or Adobe Commerce, chances are your store is heavily customized, with custom extensions, tailored checkout flows, complex catalog logic, ERP integrations, B2B features.

That complexity is what makes Magento powerful. It's also what makes turning your store into a mobile app harder than it sounds.

But if you’re running an ecommerce store in 2026, if your customers are on mobile, and if your store relies on repeat purchases, you need a mobile app.

This guide covers the two main approaches to Magento mobile app development, the tools worth evaluating in each category, and the tradeoffs that matter most. 

The goal? Help you figure out the best way to launch your own mobile app, without wasting time and money on the wrong solution.

The Two Ways to Build a Magento Mobile App (Without Custom Development)

Custom app projects can run into the mid-six figure range, and drag on for over a year until you actually get something to launch.

Magento app builders are a better way. But there are two ways that “app builders” can work. Before you start researching tools and comparing pricing tables against each other, here’s the first big-picture decision to make.

1. Website-to-App

This approach uses your existing Magento storefront to power your mobile app.

The app renders your actual website, with native features layered on top - push notifications, native navigation, deep linking.

It’s not a rebuild, not a separate channel. You manage everything (website and app) from one codebase, which reduces complexity a lot.

You’ll have less granular control over the app compared to a drag-and-drop app builder; but in exchange, you get:

• Full feature parity with your website (by default)
• Much less time and effort required to build and maintain your app
• Fewer potential points of failure (when Magento’s APIs update, you don’t have to worry about your app breaking)

2. API-Driven / Extension-Based Builders

These are no-code app builders that give you a set of templates and a drag-and-drop app builder to use to compile your app.

On the technical side, they connect to your Magento store via REST or GraphQL API, pull product, order, and customer data, and render a separate native app UI. 

The front end is usually fairly simple; of course, each platform is different, but generally you can expect the app to be a relatively simplified version of your app.

You can play around more with the drag-and-drop builder to make something unique, yes. But recreating your Magento site’s experience will be tough.

The Customization Gap

This is where Magento's strength becomes a potential challenge when choosing an app builder.

Why Magento Is Different

Shopify stores, for example, run on a relatively standardized platform. 

Magento stores, by design, are deeply customized. The average Magento store runs dozens of extensions - custom pricing rules, ERP integrations, B2B functionality, loyalty programs, advanced search, custom checkout steps. 

Many brands have invested significantly in custom theme development and front-end logic.

What Transfers to an API-Driven App (And What Doesn't)

API-driven builders pull data from your Magento store's REST or GraphQL API. They get products, categories, orders, customers, and inventory. That works well for the basics.

But the API returns structured data - not your rendered storefront. Custom extension logic that runs on the front end, custom checkout flows, advanced product display rules, and bespoke pricing calculations often don't transfer through the API. 

They exist in your theme and extension layer, not in the data layer the API exposes.

If your store runs a relatively standard Magento setup, this may not be a deal-breaker. 

But if you've built significant custom functionality (which is the case for most established Magento brands) the gap between what your website does and what an API-driven app can replicate could be substantial.

How Website-to-App Platforms Avoid This

A Magento/Adobe Commerce website-to-app service like MobiLoud renders your actual Magento storefront. 

Every extension, every custom checkout step, every piece of front-end logic works in the app - because the app is displaying your website. There's no API translation layer stripping things out.

When you update an extension or modify your storefront, the app reflects those changes automatically. No rebuild, no resync, no waiting for the app builder to update their integration.

The Magento Mobile App Builders (6 Top Choices for 2026)

We’ve got the most important part out of the way - how Magento/Adobe Commerce mobile app builders work, and the two distinct approaches that different app builders take to let you build an app without coding.

But you’re looking for a list of options, so here’s a list. If you’re in the market for a Magento mobile app builder, here are the best tools to consider.

MobiLoud

Full disclosure - we're MobiLoud. So we may be biased.

But we built MobiLoud to provide the best way for ecommerce brands to launch mobile apps, without taking on a massive dev project or having to reinvent their website. And that’s what we do.

MobiLoud converts your Magento store into native iOS and Android apps. Your storefront powers the app, which looks and feels and runs like any other app on your customer’s phone.

Because the app renders your actual Magento website (not data pulled through an API) every extension, every custom checkout flow, every piece of front-end logic works in the app. 

We don't need to "integrate" with your extensions individually. If it runs on your site, it runs in the app.

Version Compatibility

MobiLoud works with:

• Magento 2 Open Source — the free, self-hosted community edition
• Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento Commerce) — the enterprise edition with advanced B2B and cloud features
• Adobe Commerce Cloud — the fully hosted version

(We also work with Shopify, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, any other website platform, and even custom sites)

We don't require a specific Magento version or edition. If your store renders in a browser, we can turn it into an app.

The Service Model

MobiLoud is a Managed service - not a generic SaaS app builder. We handle:

1. Setup — configure & build your app
2. Testing — QA across devices and screen sizes
3. Launch — submit to Apple App Store and Google Play
4. Ongoing — maintenance, updates, and technical support

You're not configuring extensions, designing screens, or troubleshooting app store rejections.

We handle the app, so your focus can remain on maintaining your website and growing your business.

What It Doesn't Do

If you want a completely custom app with its own design, separate from your website, MobiLoud is not for you.

You can't redesign the app from scratch. You can add screens, products and promotions that only show in the app (you build it on your website, we help you configure them to be app-exclusive).

The app reflects your Magento storefront. That's the point, but it's also the tradeoff.

But if you’re looking for deep customizability, separate from your site, you’ll want to look for another option.

MobiLoud doesn't provide device-level features like AR product visualization, barcode scanning, or offline catalog browsing.

If those capabilities are central to your app strategy, you’ll probably need to look at a custom build.

And it’s also not a budget app builder. Pricing starts at $799/month (exact pricing depends on your specific requirements). It’s not a one-time purchase, it’s not something that lets you launch an app for $29 per month.

If you’re a new brand, or you just want to dip your toes in the app world, a lower-cost option like MageComp may be a better starting point to test the concept.

Webkul (Mobikul)

Webkul's Mobikul is one of the most established Magento mobile app builders, with a long track record in the Magento ecosystem. 

It produces fully native iOS and Android apps (the framework of which uses Flutter/Dart), and the feature list is extensive - barcode scanning, voice search, AR product visualization, geolocation, fingerprint login, photo-based search, and offline mode.

The platform supports all standard Magento product types (simple, configurable, grouped, bundled, virtual, downloadable) and includes real-time synchronization with your store. 

Webkul also offers a React Native variant and a separate marketplace mobile app for multi-vendor setups. It's a one-time purchase, though source code access requires a separate request.

Approach: API-driven native app (extension)

Pricing: From $299 one-time (Open Source) / $598 (Commerce); source code access additional

Notable details:

• Native apps built with Flutter (Dart) for Android and iOS

SimiCart

SimiCart has been building Magento mobile apps since 2011, making it one of the longest-running specialists in this space.

The platform serves over 1,000 Magento merchants and offers pre-built app templates with drag-and-drop configuration. 

SimiCart supports social login, push notifications, Google Analytics integration, and multiple payment gateways. The platform claims fast deployment - within 24 hours for standard setups (though be aware that publishing to the Google/Apple App Stores takes longer - generally at least a week). 

Worth noting: SimiCart has expanded to support Shopify alongside Magento, and their current marketing emphasis appears to lean more toward Shopify. Verify their current Magento feature roadmap and support responsiveness before committing.

Approach: API-driven native app (SaaS / extension)

Pricing: Current Magento pricing not public

Notable details:

• Over a decade of Magento-specific experience
• 1,000+ Magento merchants served

MageComp

MageComp offers one of the most affordable entry points for Magento mobile apps. 

The platform uses a three-step setup process to convert your Magento store into iOS and Android apps, with features including voice search, social media login, brand sliders, and push notifications. 

Higher-tier plans include source code access, which gives you more control over customization. 

MageComp is available on the Adobe Commerce Marketplace. For brands wanting to test the waters with a mobile app without a large upfront investment, it's one of the more accessible options, though the depth of features and support scales with what you pay.

Approach: Extension-based builder

Pricing: From $19/month; one-time purchase options from $29 to $599

Notable details:

• Three-step app creation process

MageMob (AppJetty)

MageMob is built by AppJetty, a company with over 16 years of experience developing Magento extensions. 

The platform offers a one-time purchase model with apps that can be set up relatively quickly (they state within about a week). 

Features include push notifications, multiple payment platform support, RTL language support, deep links, and Firebase analytics. 

One important detail: by default, apps are uploaded under MageMob's developer account in the app stores. If you want the app published under your own account, you'll need the white-label option, which costs extra. A 30-day money-back guarantee is included.

Approach: Extension-based builder

Pricing: $79 to $199 one-time

Notable details:

• 16+ years of Magento ecosystem experience (AppJetty)

AppMySite

AppMySite isn't Magento-specific - it's a no-code app builder that supports multiple platforms including Magento, WooCommerce, and Shopify.

It uses webviews to display your website content within the app. That allows you to display your products, categories, and existing UI inside the app.

The platform also includes a visual editor for customizing layouts, push notifications, in-app chat, and analytics.

For brands running a relatively straightforward Magento catalog who want a quick, affordable mobile presence, it's worth a look.

Approach: No-code cross-platform builder

Pricing: From $49/month; Pro plan ($129/month) required for iOS publishing

Notable details:

• No-code builder - not Magento-specific but supports Magento
• Automatic product, category, and user import
• Visual layout editor with push notifications
• Builds for Android and iOS simultaneously
• White-label options available

Final Thoughts

The Magento mobile app builder market is smaller and less polished than some other platforms. But there are options out there - spending $100K+ on a custom app is not the only option.

When you’re looking for the best option, the central question is not what has the best feature list. It’s how well you can launch an app that measures up to your website.

If your app is not as good as your site, it’s unlikely your customers will use it.

MobiLoud is the best for this. It fully replicates everything you’ve built for the web; every custom feature, CRO tweak, brand quirk.

As good as your site is, your app will be better.

If you want a different approach - more of a unique mobile app, different to your website, there are other options to consider. Same goes if you’re dealing with a lower budget. There are app builders that operate on a one-time payment, or that cost less than $100 per month, if $799+ per month is too much for your current revenue stage.

But for smooth, high-end mobile apps that work perfectly with Magento/Adobe Commerce storefronts (like Tadashi Shoji’s), MobiLoud is the top choice.

Magento Mobile App Development FAQs

Can I build a mobile app for Magento Open Source?

Yes. Most builders on this list support Magento 2 Open Source. Webkul and MageComp offer specific Open Source pricing tiers. MobiLoud works with any Magento version - Open Source, Adobe Commerce, or Cloud - since it renders your actual website rather than connecting through a version-specific API.

Do Magento app builders support custom extensions?

It depends on the approach. API-driven builders replicate what the Magento API exposes - product data, orders, customers, inventory. Custom extension logic that runs on the front end (custom checkout steps, advanced pricing rules, bespoke product displays) typically doesn't transfer. 

Website-to-app services like MobiLoud carry over everything on your site, including custom extensions, because the app renders your actual storefront.

What's the difference between Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce for app building?

Magento 2 Open Source is the free, community edition. Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento Commerce) adds enterprise features - B2B functionality, advanced segmentation, cloud hosting, and more. 

For app development purposes, the core difference is complexity: Adobe Commerce stores tend to be more customized and feature-rich, which makes the "customization gap" question more critical when choosing a builder.

How much does a Magento mobile app cost?

Costs range from under $100 for a one-time extension purchase (MageMob, MageComp) to $799/month for a managed service (MobiLoud). API-driven builders like Webkul sit in the middle at $299+ one-time. Factor in your team's time if you're using a self-serve tool. Configuring, testing, maintaining, and troubleshooting an app is real work.

Will my Magento checkout customizations work in the app?

With website-to-app services, yes. The app renders your actual checkout, so custom steps, payment integrations, and checkout logic all carry over. With API-driven builders, the checkout experience is typically rebuilt within the app using the builder's own interface. Custom checkout logic from your Magento theme or extensions may not transfer.

How long does it take to launch a Magento mobile app?

Extension-based builders (Webkul, MageComp, MageMob) can be configured in days to a couple of weeks, though getting a polished result takes longer. MobiLoud typically launches in ~4 weeks with our managed service handling setup, testing, and app store submission. Custom native development can take several months, or sometimes a year plus.
