You can significantly boost customer engagement and brand presence by converting your website into a mobile app. The question is... how?
Two popular solutions for this transformation are MobiLoud and AppMySite. While both platforms enable businesses to create mobile apps from existing websites, they take distinctly different approaches that cater to different business needs and priorities.
This article compares MobiLoud and AppMySite to help you determine which platform better suits your business requirements, with a focus on understanding when MobiLoud might be the superior choice.

MobiLoud is a fully-managed website to app service.
Rather than asking you to build anything yourself, like most website to app tools, MobiLoud’s team handles everything—from app configuration and store submission to ongoing maintenance and growth strategy.
Your existing website becomes the foundation for a high-performance app, with all functionality intact and enhanced by native features like push notifications and native navigation.
It works with any tech stack and website platform, allowing sites on Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, WordPress and more (including fully custom sites) to build apps that fully sync with their website.
It's essentially a turnkey solution where our experts build and manage everything to do with your app (for a fraction of the cost of native development).
AppMySite is a no-code, automated app builder designed for quick website-to-app conversion, primarily for WordPress and WooCommerce sites.
It offers a DIY approach where you can create an app by entering your website URL and configuring the app through their interface, with a live preview available to see changes in real-time.
MobiLoud and AppMySite both promise to turn your website into a mobile app—but the how and who they’re built for couldn’t be more different.
Choosing between them comes down to whether you want to tinker with tools yourself, or hand off the work to a team that builds, maintains, and grows your app alongside you.
MobiLoud is a service, not a tool.
You don’t need to touch a dashboard or write a line of code. Our team handles the entire app build from start to finish—configuration, native enhancements, QA, App Store submission, push setup, and more.
In 30 days or less, your fully branded iOS and Android app is live, tested, and compliant. Then we stay on as your app’s partner for long-term success.
With AppMySite, you do the building yourself. You enter your site URL, adjust settings, customize some branding, and handle the store submission process. It’s a self-service model that’s more user-friendly than coding, but it still demands time, attention, and technical confidence.
MobiLoud customers work with a real team of experts, including:
We don’t just offer support—we partner with you to make your app successful.
Whether it’s optimizing push campaigns, monitoring analytics, or helping with app store updates, we’re in your corner, working via Slack, scheduled calls, and email—on your timezone (North and Latin America-based).
AppMySite provides email and chat support. Helpful, but limited. You won’t get proactive optimization advice or a team that sees your app as their responsibility.
MobiLoud mirrors your entire website experience, exactly as it is, while enhancing it with native navigation, push notifications, splash screens, and deep linking.
Your ecommerce flows, user accounts, dynamic content, and custom third-party integrations? All preserved without compromise.
AppMySite offers good support for WordPress and WooCommerce. But outside those platforms, it reverts to more limited webviews. For businesses on Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, or custom stacks, MobiLoud is the only option that delivers true parity.
With MobiLoud, updates to your website are automatically reflected in the app—no need to manage content in two places.
Even better, we handle OS updates, SDK changes, app store re-submissions, and ongoing maintenance so you’re always compliant and up-to-date.
With AppMySite, the app syncs content from supported platforms, but app maintenance is your responsibility. That includes dealing with Apple or Google rejections, platform changes, and resubmissions, potentially requiring more time than you expect.
MobiLoud is platform-agnostic. WordPress, Shopify, Magento, headless builds, custom stacks... if your site works well on mobile, we can turn it into a full-featured app.
This makes it ideal for growing ecommerce brands, SaaS companies, publishers, and marketplaces. Web-first businesses that drive real revenue, with tech stacks and features you depend on.
AppMySite shines on WordPress and WooCommerce. Other platforms are supported via fallback webviews, but the experience is often limited and lacks native-level integrations.
MobiLoud is more than just a way to “get an app”—it’s a mobile retention and revenue channel built and managed by experts. We offer:
AppMySite is a lower-cost entry point. But with no strategy, no growth support, and more self-management required, it’s better suited to small businesses or one-person operations.
If you want a cheap, entry-level option to launch an app for your WordPress site, AppMySite is a good place to start.
