Are you a Via Customers user looking for an alternative platform to run your eCommerce app? Or are you about to start your mobile app journey and want to explore the best options available?
Either way, this post is for you. We’ve compiled the best alternatives to Via Customers that help you build an app for your eCommerce store quickly, affordably, and efficiently.
Via Customers is branded as a "unified SMS and mobile app platform for e-commerce."
Up until 2023, Via Customers offered an app builder that allowed Shopify store owners to turn their website into mobile apps.
However, as of November 2023, their service has been discontinued.

If Via Customers was on your radar, or you were a Via Customers user, you are likely looking for an alternative platform.
Read on for the top five options available to you now, starting with our own website-to-app platform, MobiLoud.

MobiLoud is the platform behind hundreds of apps, including many high-revenue eCommerce apps.
MobiLoud converts your existing website into native mobile apps without requiring a rebuild. Everything on your site works the same in the apps, with mobile-specific features added such as native navigation and unlimited push notifications.
This approach gives your users a full native mobile experience while saving you time, cost, and effort.
MobiLoud apps are always synced with your website, so updates to your site automatically reflect in the apps with no extra work.
On top of that, MobiLoud provides a fully managed service. Our team configures and builds your apps to your specifications, tests and publishes them, submits them to app stores, and handles all technical updates and maintenance after launch.

Our eCommerce app platform integrates with all major eCommerce platforms—including Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and custom-built websites. It’s an effective way for any eCommerce store to launch a mobile app today.
We offer three standard pricing tiers:
The recurring cost is 15% lower when billed annually. See more details about our pricing here.
MobiLoud goes beyond block-based or template-based app builders. We convert your existing website’s codebase into native apps, so everything you rely on—Shopify apps, custom code, theme design—works seamlessly in the apps.
Unlike builders that require you to manually replicate collections, promotions, and updates, MobiLoud keeps your app and website perfectly synced with no extra maintenance.
We provide unlimited push notifications with no limits or additional fees. Our team manages app store submission and ongoing maintenance, ensuring your app stays up to date.
This approach reduces your operational workload and improves your return on investment, with many customers seeing 3–7x higher lifetime value and 15–30% of sales through the app.
