Looking for an OmniShop alternative?
This article introduces some of the best OmniShop alternatives available today. We'll start with an overview of OmniShop, including pricing and features, then compare it with five alternatives, including our own platform, MobiLoud, which we believe is the best choice for businesses wanting to convert web stores into professional eCommerce apps.
OmniShop is an app builder designed for eCommerce stores. It enables you to launch a mobile app without coding or hiring developers or an agency.
Unlike most eCommerce app builders, OmniShop offers a done-for-you service rather than a DIY platform. They design and build the app for you according to your specifications.
They also handle updates and maintenance after launch and offer an add-on for app store submission.
OmniShop works with WooCommerce and Shopify and states they can integrate with other platforms that have a public API.
Here are OmniShop's pricing options:
The Basic plan includes features such as product ratings and reviews, Firebase (Google) analytics, product images with zoom, and product listings.
The Advanced plan adds features like a loyalty program and cart abandonment notifications. Upgrading involves paying a higher monthly fee and a higher setup cost.
The Pro plan offers additional integrations, a dedicated support team, and unlimited customization tailored to your needs.
OmniShop provides an affordable way to convert your site into an app compared to hiring developers for a custom native app. This reduces the barrier for brands wanting to launch an app.
Since OmniShop manages the app development and maintenance for you, it suits brands looking for a done-for-you solution without taking on extra management work.
OmniShop uses an API-based approach to connect the app to your store, which means the app is built within the constraints of their templates and integrations.
The Pro plan offers more customization and integrations, which may involve additional costs.
Let's explore some top OmniShop alternatives, starting with our own site-to-app platform, MobiLoud.
MobiLoud is a service that converts your entire website into a fully functional mobile app.
Like OmniShop, MobiLoud is a done-for-you platform. After an initial discovery call, our team configures, tests, publishes, submits the app to app stores, and maintains it.
MobiLoud uses webviews to fully recreate your website within the app, rather than relying on APIs.
This means everything on your website works exactly the same in the app — including your theme, custom design changes, features, third-party integrations, payment gateways, and more.
Your app is essentially your website wrapped in a mobile interface, enhanced with native navigation and push notifications to deliver a seamless mobile experience.
Numerous case studies demonstrate what’s possible with MobiLoud, with hundreds of stores trusting us to provide high-quality apps.
MobiLoud offers a full-service experience, including custom development to refine your mobile web experience as needed.
We manage updates, maintenance, and app store publishing. With extensive experience launching thousands of apps, we guide the process to help ensure app store approval.
MobiLoud offers three pricing tiers:
Annual plans provide a 15% discount on monthly fees. Read more about pricing here.
Both MobiLoud and OmniShop offer done-for-you services, but there are key differences that make MobiLoud stand out:
OmniShop builds an app by connecting to your website via APIs, which means the app front end is rebuilt using their templates and integrations. This can result in differences compared to your website's full functionality.
David from Rainbow Shops shared his experience with an API-based solution before switching to MobiLoud:
“The hybrid solutions on top of Shopify are just too limited. The Shopify API only enables certain things and all the major providers of hybrid apps for Shopify had limitations that the Shopify API would not let them get around.”
MobiLoud combines a done-for-you approach with a comprehensive process, resulting in a fully functional app that closely mirrors your website.

Now, let’s review other OmniShop alternatives available in the market.
Shopney offers a drag-and-drop app builder focused on Shopify eCommerce stores. Its block-based design approach includes a variety of themes and features.
Shopney is suitable for stores looking to quickly create a mobile app that reflects their product catalog using their available templates. However, due to its template-based approach, it doesn't fully replicate your site’s custom features or Shopify apps.
Stores with unique requirements may find the template constraints require adapting their store to the app’s available options.
Shopney offers four plans:
Plobal Apps is a Shopify-focused app builder featuring a drag-and-drop interface and multiple pre-built integrations.
While it supports various integrations, the app is built within the limits of its available features and integrations, and does not replicate your store’s full custom functionality or Shopify apps beyond what is provided.
Plobal Apps offers three plans:
Mowico is an app builder designed for eCommerce brands with a drag-and-drop, block-based system.
Mowico supports Shopify and WooCommerce, and plans to support PrestaShop, BigCommerce, and Wix. It offers integrations with Smile, Langify, Judge.me, and features like push notifications and AR shopping.
While Mowico helps create an eCommerce app displaying your products and brand, it does not fully replicate all advanced features, design elements, or Shopify apps from your website.
The Shopify integration allows access to Shopify data, but the full range of your existing apps and customizations won’t be automatically included. For full replication, a site-to-app converter like MobiLoud is recommended.
Mowico has three plans for Shopify:
Pricing varies by eCommerce platform, with higher-tier plans offering more features.
JMango360 is an established app builder focused on the eCommerce market, supporting platforms such as Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, and PrestaShop.
JMango360 provides plugins and integrations for each platform along with a drag-and-drop interface called the JMango360 Backoffice to design apps that connect to your web store.
While JMango360 offers a solid product, it uses templates and APIs, so it doesn’t replicate your full web store experience. Their integrations cover a portion of typical eCommerce features.
JMango360 works well for basic eCommerce apps as an additional channel, but stores seeking a more complete recreation of their web store may consider solutions like MobiLoud.
JMango360 has three plans:
OmniShop offers a done-for-you solution to convert eCommerce websites into mobile apps. MobiLoud provides similar services, plus more, backed by a track record that gives you confidence.
OmniShop’s pricing is slightly lower for both monthly fees and setup costs, but MobiLoud delivers an app that fully replicates your website with consistent updates and comprehensive management.
Investing in an app with MobiLoud means getting your website packaged as a mobile app, complete with native features and a user experience comparable to high-budget custom apps.
We have supported hundreds of companies in launching effective apps with minimal time and investment. See examples from Rainbow Shops, SYN•DI•CATE, Bestseller and John Varvatos as a few examples.
