If you’ve built a successful website, it’s natural to consider creating mobile apps.
Apps provide your brand a permanent place on your users’ home screens, enable push notifications, and offer a faster, more engaging experience than mobile browsers.
The good news? You don’t have to start from scratch—a number of tools can help you turn your website into a mobile app quickly and without coding.
These include MobiLoud, a managed web-to-app service, and Convertify, a web-to-app software.
While they may seem similar at first, their approaches differ. In this article, we’ll compare these two options and help you decide which fits your business best.

Both MobiLoud and Convertify convert your website into a mobile app, but their services differ significantly.
Convertify is a one-time purchase tool that wraps your website into a WebView app for iOS and Android.
It offers a fast and affordable option ($149) with an app package delivered within 24 hours. After delivery, managing the app is your responsibility.
MobiLoud is a fully managed service designed for growing businesses. We don’t just build your app—we partner with you to launch, maintain, and support its long-term success through push engagement, app store strategy, and ongoing updates.
Here’s a closer look at how they compare.
Convertify provides a fast, automated conversion: submit your URL, logo, and app name, then receive an app package.
There is no setup guidance, QA testing, or additional team involvement beyond initial delivery. The process is straightforward—sign up, pay, send your website, and get your app.
MobiLoud takes a hands-on approach. We configure your app for performance and polish, test it on real devices, and guide you through previews and revisions.
It’s a collaborative process rather than a one-off transaction.
Convertify does not offer ongoing support. Updates for new OS versions or other changes are handled by you or require additional payments.
MobiLoud provides unlimited support and maintenance as part of your subscription.
We proactively update your app for operating system changes, fix bugs, and ensure it runs smoothly over time. Our North American-based team is available to assist with all app-related needs, letting you focus on other aspects of your business.
Convertify delivers a ZIP file and instructions, leaving app publishing, developer account setup, and handling rejections to you.
MobiLoud manages the entire publishing process, including creating store assets, writing optimized descriptions, and communicating with Apple and Google. We guarantee app approval.
Convertify apps are WebView shells with optional features such as a navigation bar or splash screen. Customization typically involves editing configuration files.
MobiLoud apps include native navigation, smooth transitions, deep linking, splash screens, share sheets, and the ability to add custom, app-exclusive experiences.
All this while retaining all website functionality—including integrations and complex features.
Convertify includes OneSignal integration, which you set up and manage independently.
MobiLoud offers unlimited push notifications with guided setup, personalized segmentation, and done-for-you campaigns to enhance retention and revenue.
Convertify’s service ends at app delivery, providing the app file without further assistance.
MobiLoud remains your partner after launch, helping grow app usage, improve engagement, integrate analytics, and optimize performance as your business evolves. You have direct contact with our team through email, calls, or Slack.
Convertify charges a one-time fee of $149 for the app package.
MobiLoud pricing starts at $399/month plus an $850 one-time setup fee for the Startup plan, $799/month plus $1,500 setup for Growth, and custom pricing for Corporate plans. This includes app setup, store submission, ongoing updates, unlimited push notifications, support, and strategic guidance.
There are no revenue shares or transaction fees—just flat, predictable pricing for a high-quality app channel that drives business results.
Our pricing reflects the full-service model: custom app configuration, QA testing, app store submission, continuous maintenance, and expert support.
Your app stays current with platform updates, push notifications are optimized for engagement, and you have a dedicated team behind you throughout.
"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
