The 6 Best Mobile App Builders for Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) in 2025

Building native iOS and Android apps on Salesforce Commerce Cloud used to mean six-figure budgets and multi-quarter development timelines. Not anymore. 

In 2025, a new generation of app builders allows SFCC brands to launch premium apps in weeks, not months – without rewriting storefront logic or duplicating content.

In this guide, we break down the six best mobile app builders compatible with SFCC. 

You'll get a clear breakdown of:

• Who each tool is best for
• How they compare on cost, time to launch, and ROI
• A simple framework to help you choose the right one for your brand

If you're looking to grow mobile revenue and retention, without rebuilding your whole stack, this is for you.

Bottom Line Summary: MobiLoud is the best way to build a mobile app for Salesforce Commerce Cloud brands. It fully converts your site, letting you launch an app with no limitations, transferring all the features from your website to the app. The other options are DIY drag-and-drop builders (which are solid but limited for complex sites) and high-touch, agency-like platforms (which are expensive and time-consuming). MobiLoud is the best option for ROI-focused brands.

Why Native-Quality Apps Matter for SFCC Brands

Mobile traffic dominates ecommerce. For most DTC and omnichannel retailers, it now accounts for 80–90% of sessions.

Yet mobile websites alone aren’t ideal. Mobile apps convert up to 7x higher than mobile websites, drive 123% more repeat orders, and unlock 5-7x higher engagement rates with push notifications.

That last point is crucial. Push notifications aren’t just a nice-to-have. They’re a high-ROI channel that bypasses crowded inboxes, and are available only to brands with a native app.

And the key part? It doesn’t need a massive investment. Done right, your app can mirror your website’s data, logic, and integrations. That means:

• No need to rebuild product pages or checkout
• Your loyalty program, campaigns, and inventory stay in sync
• You manage one storefront, not two

With the right solution, you don’t have to rebuild anything. You can tap into everything your web storefront already does, while delivering a best-in-class mobile experience for your most valuable customers.

Why Use a Salesforce Commerce Cloud App Builder?

You might be thinking that you’d be better off with a custom-built app, to better serve your bespoke SFCC store.

But custom app development isn’t the only option. It’s not even the best – especially for complex stores.

App builders offer a smarter, faster way to get native apps live, without the usual cost or complexity.

Custom Apps Are Costly and Slow

Building a native app from scratch on SFCC can easily cost $250K to $500K (or more). And the timeline? Often 6 to 9 months, plus ongoing maintenance.

That approach might make sense for billion-dollar brands. But for most mid-market companies, or even 7-9 figure brands, it’s too slow, too expensive, and too risky.

App Builders Shrink the Investment

Modern app builders cut the cost to launch by 80–90%. Instead of rebuilding your store from the ground up, they package your existing site into native iOS and Android apps.

You launch in weeks, not quarters. You avoid rebuilding your stack. And you get ongoing support for:

• OS updates
• SFCC version changes
• App Store and Google Play requirements

That gives you a much clearer path to a positive ROI.

The Result: Faster Time to Revenue, Lower Total Cost

App builders let you:

• Launch faster (often in under 30 days)
• Recoup your investment faster
• Focus on retention and growth, not maintenance

The best app builders handle the complex stuff for you: integration testing, app store submission, push setup, and more. So you can launch full-featured apps with minimal time required from your team.

What Are The Best SFCC App Builders in 2025?

Not all app builders are created equal. Some are fast but rigid. Others are flexible but expensive. 

Here are the top six options for Salesforce Commerce Cloud brands in 2025, ranked by speed, cost, flexibility, and long-term ROI.

1. MobiLoud – Best Overall Way to Build SFCC Mobile Apps

MobiLoud takes a fundamentally different approach to mobile app building. Rather than rebuilding your SFCC store with templates or forcing you into a predefined structure, MobiLoud turns your existing site into a native app – while preserving 100% of your current design, features, and integrations.

That means your app is a perfect reflection of your website. Every PDP layout, checkout customization, loyalty integration, or performance tweak you’ve already built? It’s already in your app. No extra dev work required.

Why It Stands Out

Most app builders either force you to rebuild your store in their visual editor, or strip out important functionality due to integration limits. MobiLoud avoids both problems by using your live storefront as the app foundation. Here’s what that means in practice:

• Instant parity with your SFCC store: Every product, promotion, and UX pattern works as-is
• Zero duplication: You don’t have to update content in two places
• Full compatibility: All third-party tools and custom code carry over automatically
• Real-time sync: Any change you make on your website instantly shows in your app

The result is a native mobile experience, delivered in 2–4 weeks, with no need for internal dev resources.

A True Done-for-You Service

MobiLoud isn’t just software. It’s a service. The team handles the entire process, including:

• App configuration and testing
• QA and store submission
• Ongoing OS updates and compliance
• Strategic support post-launch, including push setup and app marketing support

You also get access to experts in retention and app strategy, not just a support inbox. This ongoing partnership helps ensure your app doesn’t just exist, but that it drives real results.

ROI That Outperforms the Field

Because you don’t have to rebuild, re-integrate, or maintain a second storefront, your total cost of ownership (TCO) stays low. 

And since MobiLoud apps support advanced push notifications, loyalty programs, and app-only offers right out of the box, you can grow repeat revenue faster.

• Brands using MobiLoud see up to 7x higher CLTV, 20% higher AOV, and 25% increase in ARPU
• Push open rates often exceed 60%. While abandoned cart notifications deliver consistent new revenue (some brands recover hundreds of thousands per month from abandoned carts)
• ROI typically lands within 90 days of launch, even for mid-market teams with limited resources

MobiLoud already supports a number of high-level brands on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, including John Varvatos and Jack & Jones. These brands have bespoke setups and some quite complex requirements (including multi-market configurations), which MobiLoud was able to satisfy without a problem.

Best for: SFCC brands that want to launch fast, retain all their web features, and grow repeat revenue without rebuilding.

Strengths: Full site-to-app conversion, lowest maintenance overhead, flat pricing, hands-on support, built-in push ROI.

2. JMango360 – Conversion-Optimized Native Front End

JMango360 is a DIY mobile app builder that works with a variety of platforms. 

It gives you a LINK cartridge for SFCC and a drag-and-drop editor to customize screens. It has decent flexibility, and their case studies show strong conversion and retention gains.

But visual freedom comes with some tradeoffs. Custom logic and complex integrations can be limited by the platform’s structure. We’ve talked with multiple SFCC brands who have found issues with more complex site features working properly in their apps.

They can do custom development to integrate your apps with custom features – but that comes at an extra cost.

Best for: Brands that want conversion lift and some customization, without going fully custom.

Strengths: Prebuilt templates, bundled marketing support, good UX out of the box.

3. Poq Commerce – Enterprise-Grade Flexibility

Poq offers a full SDK and UI kit, making it one of the most customizable platforms on the list. 

Larger retailers can use it to build headless or hybrid apps, with Poq handling infrastructure and app store maintenance.

It’s powerful, but complex. Expect an 8–12 week implementation and higher license fees.

Best for: Large retailers with internal dev resources and a need for custom UX.

Strengths: Full control, deep analytics, headless-friendly.

4. Shopgate – Omnichannel Specialist

Shopgate is built for brands with both physical and online stores. It supports BOPIS, store locators, and coupon-scanning features out of the box. It also supports the ability to convert your website into a mobile app (though it's not as modern as other platforms).

While the omnichannel toolkit is strong, SFCC documentation is light. So technical due diligence is a must.

Best for: Retailers blending ecommerce with brick-and-mortar.

Strengths: In-store integrations, physical-digital workflows.

5. Bayretail – Clienteling and Store Associate Focus

Bayretail focuses on luxury and high-touch retail. Their platform includes both customer-facing and store-associate apps, with tools like AI clienteling, endless aisle, and in-store task lists.

Great for experiential retail. But likely too complex for lean DTC brands.

Best for: Luxury or multi-brand retailers with in-store sales teams.

Strengths: Composable SFCC cartridge, clienteling tools, B2B2C use cases.

6. Bryj – Data-Driven Engagement Layer

Bryj positions itself as an AI-powered engagement platform. It shines in cart recovery, triggered push, and deep Salesforce integrations – especially Marketing Cloud and Service Cloud.

Pricing and setup are enterprise-level. Requires strong internal data and marketing teams.

Best for: Mature SFCC brands with heavy focus on lifecycle automation.

Strengths: Personalization, real-time messaging, Salesforce-native logic.

Choosing the Right SFCC Mobile App Builder: A Quick ROI Checklist

Not sure which app builder fits your needs? Use this checklist to filter vendors based on real-world performance, not just promises.

Map Critical Integrations

List every SFCC cartridge, CMS plugin, OMS, loyalty tool, and analytics suite your store relies on. Then ask:

• Does the app builder support these natively?
• Will you need to rebuild or compromise on functionality?

The more your stack “just works” inside the app, the faster you’ll see ROI—and the fewer dev headaches you’ll inherit.

Project Three-Year ROI

Don’t just compare setup fees. Look at total impact over time:

• How much will licensing, implementation, and support cost over 3 years?
• How much incremental revenue do you expect from higher conversion, more repeat orders, or push-triggered sales?

For most brands, an app only makes sense if it becomes a high-performing retention and revenue channel. Be sure your math supports that.

Assess Ownership and Ongoing Costs

Ask who’s responsible for:

• OS updates and device testing
• SFCC version upgrades
• App store submissions and compliance

If the answer is “you,” that’s a hidden cost. The best vendors (like MobiLoud) handle all of this for you.

Demand Data Portability

Your app is only as good as the data it gives you. Confirm that you can:

• Send raw app events to GA4, Adobe, or your data warehouse
• Trigger push notifications based on customer behavior
• Track performance without paying extra for visibility

Data freedom = better attribution and smarter marketing decisions.

Check Roadmap Alignment

Look ahead. Do you plan to add:

• Push flows, in-app rewards, or loyalty wallets?
• AR product views, shop-the-look, or quizzes?

Choose a builder whose 12-month roadmap complements your own. Otherwise, you’ll end up switching platforms sooner than you’d like.

Evaluate Support and SLAs

Peak season downtime costs more than the software. Make sure your vendor offers:

• 24/7 ticketing and clear escalation paths
• Named CSMs and launch specialists
• Proactive guidance (not just reactive support)

Your app should be a growth asset. Not another platform to babysit.

Bottom Line: Why MobiLoud Is the ROI Winner

If your goal is to launch a high-performing mobile app on Salesforce Commerce Cloud (without delays, dev strain, or duplicated effort) MobiLoud is the clear winner.

It’s not just about features. It’s about outcomes.

MobiLoud gives you:

• A native app that mirrors your full SFCC site, feature for feature
• A launch timeline of 4 weeks, not 4 quarters
• Push notifications that drive real, repeat revenue
• A service team that handles everything from submission to success
• Proven examples of helping high-level SFCC brands launch apps

There’s no need to rebuild. No templates to wrangle. No technical debt to manage. And no surprises on pricing. Just a flat, transparent cost, with no success fees, coming out to a fraction of the cost of native development.

Other platforms may offer visual editors or deeper SDK access. But they come with tradeoffs: longer timelines, higher costs, and more things you’ll have to fix later.

MobiLoud skips the rebuild, delivers a native-quality UX, and helps your app generate ROI from day one.
