Appilix and MobiLoud both turn websites into native mobile apps. You might find us next to each other when you’re doing a search for website to app solutions.
But while it’s the same concept, they’re two very different products.
Appilix is a self-service tool starting at $69/year. MobiLoud is a managed service starting at $799/month. That gap tells you almost everything you need to know about who each one is built for.
Let’s dive deeper, and give you the complete breakdown of what each one does, and who they’re for.
Appilix is a self-service website-to-app converter.
How it works is simple. You enter your website URL, customize the app's appearance (splash screen, colors, logo, navigation), and generate APK/IPA files to submit to the app stores yourself.
The process is designed to be fast and affordable. Appilix advertises a "5-minute" setup, and the whole thing is entirely self-service. You configure the app, generate the build, submit to the app stores, and manage everything going forward.
Appilix is for solopreneurs, bloggers, and small businesses who want to get any website into app form at the lowest possible cost. It's platform-agnostic, works with any website, and the whole thing is DIY from start to finish.
MobiLoud is a premium managed service for mid-market and enterprise ecommerce brands that want to turn their websites into native mobile apps.
Everything's done for you: build, testing, app store publishing, ongoing maintenance. Our approach ensures everything from your website carries over to your app, and the app and website always stay fully in sync, reducing the operational lift that comes with launching a mobile app.
MobiLoud works with any ecommerce platform: Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopware, and custom builds.
"I could continue developing the way I am used to. It was completely frictionless for me."
-- David Chamberlin, Lead Developer at Tadashi Shoji
MobiLoud starts at $799/month, plus a one-time setup fee. That includes the app build, app store management, QA, and ongoing support and maintenance.
MobiLoud’s service is built for established ecommerce brands, typically doing a minimum of seven figures in annual online revenue. Brands that want a mobile app to be a real, dependable revenue channel, and who need a team to build it, launch it, and keep it running.
$69/year vs $799/month. The price difference is so large it almost doesn't need explaining. These are products for completely different customers.
If you're a blogger or small business that wants your website in the app stores, spending $69/year makes perfect sense. Spending $799/mo likely does not.
If you're an ecommerce brand generating millions in revenue and the app is a growth channel, you're looking at a fundamentally different set of requirements.
With Appilix, you do everything. Configure the app, generate the builds, submit to the app stores, handle rejections, manage updates, troubleshoot issues. It's your responsibility.
With MobiLoud, our team handles the build, app store submissions, QA, ongoing maintenance, and OS compatibility updates. When something needs to change, you tell us and we do it.
Appilix is platform-agnostic. It converts any website into an app. Blogs, portfolios, local businesses, SaaS tools, ecommerce stores. It doesn't matter. The tool treats every website the same way.
MobiLoud is specifically built for ecommerce. Our team understands checkout flows, integration stacks, and the particular requirements of running a retail mobile app. That ecommerce focus is baked into the product and the service.
We’re platform-agnostic as well, and we can technically turn any website into a mobile app. Our speciality, however, is ecommerce. If you’re a small publisher or SMB, the fit might not be ideal.
With Appilix, ongoing management is on you. OS updates, app store policy changes, new device compatibility. You generate new builds and resubmit when things need updating.
With MobiLoud, that's all part of the service. Our team keeps the app current, handles compliance changes, and makes sure nothing breaks when Apple or Google ships a major update.
It should be pretty clear to you whether Appilix or MobiLoud fits your project the best. But if you’re still unsure, here’s the simple breakdown:
Appilix makes sense when:
MobiLoud makes sense when:
A blogger who wants their site in the app stores and an ecommerce brand building a retention channel aren't the same customer. The price difference reflects that.
