They handle the build process for you and reuse your web content, which can simplify app maintenance and updates.

MobiLoud shares many benefits with ShopApper: fully managed service, no need for you to do the build work, and reuse of your website content for app creation.
However, MobiLoud fully converts your website and features into a native app experience.
ShopApper has been available for a shorter time, while MobiLoud has been building apps since 2013, with many examples among large ecommerce brands.
MobiLoud has experience with platforms including Shopify, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and custom websites.
ShopApper mainly targets WordPress and WooCommerce but also supports Shopify to some extent.
MobiLoud has partnered with some of the world's top ecommerce brands.
Brands such as Jack & Jones, John Varvatos, Tobi, and Sleefs have selected MobiLoud to build their mobile apps.

"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. The team held my hand to ensure our app was done properly from beginning to end."
- Nick Barbarise, Director of Information Technology at John Varvatos
Here are some reasons these brands prefer MobiLoud.
ShopApper builds custom elements and integrations for your app. This approach offers customization possibilities but may require additional integration work.
They state they can include custom or third-party solutions through custom integrations.
With MobiLoud, there’s no need for custom integrations.
MobiLoud apps use your website as the foundation, so all features, including Shopify apps, custom code, and design, work in the app.
This means your app stays fully synchronized with your site without extra development.
"The fact that we can roll out quite complex solutions and updates to improve our experience for customers on the website, and that's immediately in the app, that's priceless. That's amazing!"
- Damien Smith, Chief Technology Officer at BoozeBud

MobiLoud offers done-for-you app configuration, app store submission, and an app launch service to help you gain initial momentum.
Features like abandoned cart notifications are included from day one.
We also provide managed push notification services to handle strategy and campaign execution.

ShopApper offers a lower-cost option and may deliver apps faster.
However, MobiLoud is designed for brands with complex needs, supporting custom tech and features with a scalable approach.
MobiLoud ensures your app matches your website’s functionality, whether you operate a boutique or an enterprise-grade store.
"I expected the app to be somewhat functional, but I thought it wouldn't be as high quality as some of the apps I've seen that have been built from scratch. I saw no difference in terms of quality or functionality in our app and an app built from the ground up, that could have cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars."
- Gavin McGarry, Co-founder & CEO at Gear2Go
