MobiLoud is a fully-managed website to app service.
Instead of requiring you to build the app yourself, like many website to app tools, MobiLoud’s team manages everything—from app configuration and store submission to ongoing maintenance and growth strategy.
Your existing website becomes the foundation for a high-performance app, with all functionality intact and enhanced by native features such as unlimited push notifications, native navigation, splash screens, and deep linking.
It supports any tech stack and website platform, including Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce (Magento), WordPress, and fully custom sites, enabling apps that fully sync with their websites.
It's a turnkey solution where MobiLoud experts build and manage everything related to your app—at a fraction of the cost of native development.
AppMySite is a no-code, automated app builder designed for quick website-to-app conversion, mainly for WordPress and WooCommerce sites.
It follows a self-service approach where you create an app by entering your website URL and configuring it through their interface, with a live preview to see changes in real-time.
MobiLoud and AppMySite both convert your website into a mobile app—but the how and who they’re built for are quite different.
Choosing between them depends on whether you prefer a managed, done-for-you service or a DIY platform you build and maintain yourself.
MobiLoud operates as a fully managed service.
You don’t need to use a dashboard or write code. MobiLoud’s team handles the entire app build—from configuration and native feature integration to quality assurance, App Store submissions, push notification setup, and more.
Within 30 days or less, your fully branded iOS and Android app goes live, tested, and compliant. Then MobiLoud remains your partner for ongoing app success.
AppMySite requires you to build the app yourself. You enter your site URL, adjust settings, customize branding, and manage the store submission process. This self-service model is user-friendly but needs your time, attention, and some technical confidence.
MobiLoud customers work with a dedicated team of app specialists who provide strategic guidance, technical support, quality assurance, and post-launch growth assistance.
They collaborate with you via Slack, scheduled calls, and email, aligned with your time zone, to optimize your app’s performance and updates.
AppMySite offers email and chat support to assist with platform use.
MobiLoud replicates your entire website experience exactly, preserving ecommerce flows, user accounts, dynamic content, and third-party integrations, while enhancing the app with native features like push notifications and native navigation.
AppMySite works well with WordPress and WooCommerce sites. For other platforms, it uses webviews that maintain content but may not provide native-level integrations.
With MobiLoud, updates made to your website automatically reflect in the app—no need to manage content separately.
MobiLoud also handles operating system updates, SDK changes, app store resubmissions, and ongoing maintenance to keep your app compliant and current.
AppMySite syncs content from supported platforms, but app maintenance, including submissions and compliance, is the user's responsibility.
MobiLoud is platform-agnostic, supporting Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, headless builds, and custom stacks.
This makes it suitable for growing ecommerce brands, SaaS companies, publishers, and marketplaces that rely on complex tech stacks and features.
AppMySite primarily supports WordPress and WooCommerce. Other platforms are supported via webviews with fewer native integrations.
MobiLoud offers more than just app creation—it provides a mobile retention and revenue channel managed by experts, including:
AppMySite is a cost-effective entry point for small businesses or individual operators comfortable managing their own app growth and maintenance.
If you want an affordable, entry-level option to launch an app for your WordPress site, AppMySite is a suitable starting point.
