Everything you need to know about MobiLoud

Yes, with MobiLoud, you can build high-quality iOS and Android apps from virtually any website, regardless of the CMS or tech stack you use, with no coding required.

Whether your site is built on WordPress, Shopify, Salesforce, React, or a custom platform, if your website functions well as a web app and is mobile-optimized, we can convert it into a native mobile app.

Our platform allows you to reuse everything you've already built on the web, so there's no need to start from scratch.

The mobile app will pull directly from your website, ensuring that all the functionality, design, and features remain intact and in sync across both web and mobile platforms.

This allows you to maintain a single code base for both your website and mobile app, saving you time and resources.

Yes, all the features and functionality your web app or website currently has can be recreated within your iOS and Android apps using MobiLoud.

Our platform takes everything from your web app (whether it's content, functionality, or design) and translates it seamlessly into a mobile app experience.

This includes all custom features, web-based plugins, vendors, and integrations (whether you're using platforms like WordPress, Shopify, or something custom-built).

You don’t have to rebuild anything from scratch. We bring everything over into your app, allowing you to maintain a single code base and website while expanding your reach to mobile app users.

Any updates or changes you make to your site are automatically reflected in the app, ensuring that the app stays in sync with your web platform.

The MobiLoud platform itself is fully native and built from scratch in Swift, Java and Kotlin for the best user experience and performance. MobiLoud apps are not strictly native, but rather your existing site or web app running inside a native container that runs in every way like a native app, adds native navigation and features like push notifications. This allows you to recreate your web experience exactly, while adding the key features you need to improve user experience on mobile devices.  

Ultimately, you could build a native app from scratch (very very expensive, complex – only for well funded companies where the app is a key part of the value prop), or use a template based solution (could be good but by definition it will be limiting), or use our approach, which gives you the benefits of a native app with the flexibility of the web.  

A hybrid approach lets you have a mobile app with all the features of your website, in a very short time and very affordably, with the added benefit of not having to worry about constantly catching up with your site's development to add new features (i.e. if you add or change anything on the site, it changes in the app). You'll maintain a single code-base, your website's, for both site and app.  

It's a huge saving in both time and money terms, and it gives you incredible flexibility compared to a situation where you have a web app or website and a native app alongside it.

Our approach with MobiLoud is to empower you to use a single platform (your website) to serve both web and mobile app audiences.

We don’t try to add new features beyond what you’ve built on the web, but instead, we help you leverage your existing website to create both a site and a mobile app.

All the functionality comes from your website. We strongly believe that almost anything can be built on the web today.

With MobiLoud, you only need to focus on maintaining a great website, and from that effort, you get both a high-quality website and a mobile app, without any additional work or investment.

Our platform and service adds native elements to enhance your app, making it feel just like a native mobile experience while using the functionality of your website.

We include native navigation with familiar elements like a tab menu, making it easy for users to navigate your app. Your app will have a custom splash screen, loading animations, and spinners, ensuring a good UX while content loads.

Push notifications are fully integrated through platforms like OneSignal and Klaviyo, allowing you to send personalized notifications and automate flows. Users can manage their push preferences directly in the app, choosing which notifications to receive based on categories or interests.

Our team handles everything related to getting your app published on both the App Store and Google Play, making sure it complies with all of Apple and Google's requirements.

We offer a complete no-code configuration dashboard that gives you full control of your app once it’s live. However, to ensure the app is built optimally and approved quickly by Apple and Google, our team handles the initial configuration. With our experience, we can set up your app in the most efficient and effective way possible.

After the app is live, you or your technical team can access the dashboard to manage the app's configuration, including pages, menus, and push notifications. If you prefer, our team is always available to make any adjustments on your behalf, especially if you’re not technical. We can handle everything for you as needed.

The limitations of MobiLoud are primarily the same as those of your website. If it works in a browser, we can convert it into a mobile app.

There are some limitations when it comes to accessing certain native device features, such as the accelerometer, Face ID, or complex hardware integrations like Bluetooth and NFC. These are all out of scope for the type of applications that we provide.

If you require deep native functionality, MobiLoud might not be the best fit, as we focus on leveraging your existing web app or website to create an app and native integrations would be too complex.

For fully custom native features or hybrid apps built from scratch, solutions like Cordova or React Native might be better suited.

Our solution is ideal for most web-based apps or websites that don’t rely on highly specialized native functions.

MobiLoud is not ideal for apps requiring deep native features, such as:

- Banking apps needing Face ID or NFC payments.
- Fitness or health apps using sensors or wearables.
- Bluetooth-connected apps for IoT or smart devices.
- Games needing advanced graphics or real-time rendering.
- Video conferencing apps needing real-time multimedia control.
- Apps relying on NFC for payments or access.

For these cases, custom native or hybrid app development is a better fit.

Your app will require an internet connection to operate, which is the case for almost all modern apps, including e-commerce platforms like Amazon, media apps, and social networks. Technically, building a fully offline app that mirrors everything your website provides would require an impossibly large application, with full synchronization when a connection is restored. This is highly impractical, if not impossible, to achieve with most web backends, whether it's a custom-built backend or a platform/CMS like Shopify and WordPress.

The reality is that most mobile apps, including major brands, require an internet connection for content updates, transactions, and real-time interactions. If your use case specifically requires offline functionality, then MobiLoud may not be the best fit for your needs, as our solution is optimized for apps that are connected to the web.

Our process starts with a consultation to understand your vision and app requirements. After sign-up, we schedule an onboarding call to discuss customization options and guide you through completing the necessary forms.

Once your preferences are clear, we develop your app, prepare custom graphics, and share a preview for your feedback. Together, we test the app, making sure everything works as expected.

After testing, we submit your app to the Apple and Google stores, monitor the approval process, and keep you updated until the app is live. Once your app is launched, we provide marketing advice and ready-to-use assets to help you promote it effectively. We also conduct strategy sessions around push notifications to ensure you're leveraging this powerful channel to maximize user engagement.

Throughout the entire process, we ensure you have support and input at every key step, from development to post-launch growth.

No – the apps will update automatically whenever you publish anything new! There is little to add to your existing workflow, just keep doing what you're doing, easy like that!

Our service creates a fully custom app by turning everything from your website (your unique design, vendors, plugins, apps, and custom element) into a mobile app.

This means the app is inherently custom without needing to rebuild or recreate everything using native code, which can be expensive, inflexible, and slow to update.

With MobiLoud, your app maintains all the uniqueness of your website, and we add the native app functionality that your site doesn't provide.

Plus, our team works with you on making optimizations and improvements to ensure your app feels just like a typical native app, without the inefficiencies and costs that come with building one from scratch.

We use code to make changes to your existing mobile web layout to simplify the website experience when it’s powering the mobile app.

This allows us to achieve the same level of design and user experience that a native app provides, without rebuilding from scratch on a different code base, which is typically what is done with custom native app development.

It will take very little work to keep your app running.

The app is designed to sync automatically with your website, meaning any updates or changes you make to your site (whether it's new content, design updates, or adding new features) are instantly reflected in the app.

This eliminates the need to manage the app separately. Essentially, by maintaining your website, you're also maintaining your app at the same time.

In addition to this automatic syncing, we provide ongoing support to ensure everything runs smoothly. If any issues arise, or if you need help with updates or adjustments, our team is always available to assist.

You also have access to a dashboard where you can control app-specific features (like push notifications or app settings) without needing technical knowledge. If you're not comfortable managing these aspects, our team is always available to handle it for you.

Overall, the app requires minimal effort to keep running, allowing you to focus on your website while enjoying the benefits of both a fully functional mobile app, always up to date.

Our mobile apps are multi language and support RTL for Arabic and Hebrew. We add languages all the time, get in touch to inquire about support for your own language. Languages currently supported include: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Chinese (Si.), Chinese (Tr.), Danish, Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian (Bo.), Portuguese (Br.), Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish and more.

Yes, you can configure the notifications to go out automatically as a response to specific events, including new content getting published. You can also send notifications manually whenever you wish.

Our WordPress plugins and Shopify apps provide this functionality for you, so there's nothing for your team to build.

If your site doesn't run on WordPress or Shopify, but rather uses any popular web stack, you'll be able to easily connect to Onesignal's REST API to trigger notifications for any event.

No, you can send as many as you like! You can integrate notifications with your website (we do that for you with our plugin if you're on WordPress or Shopify) to send them automatically or send them manually. We rely on Onesignal to send notifications and you'll have full control of your own Onesignal account. They have excellent documentation if you want to integrate their API in your web application.

Absolutely! A shared codebase makes this incredibly simple.

We’ll work with you to build these app-only pages on your site so your customers get the perfect, VIP app experience.

App-only collections, promotions and content can be easily managed through your CMS with no complex setup needed.

Not at all! Modern web applications can perform just as powerfully and smoothly as native mobile apps, and they can be designed to deliver that level of performance.

MobiLoud’s webview-based approach leverages this, offering an ideal solution if you want to avoid duplicating your efforts with two separate code bases for your app and website.

In many cases, it’s the only option if you’re using a platform or CMS that doesn’t natively support mobile app development.

But even when you have the option, it’s often the best approach: by maintaining a single code base, you can simplify management, save countless hours for your team and keep your site and app always aligned.

If your web application is built to perform well, it can serve as both an excellent mobile web solution and power your mobile app without compromise. This lets you get the most out of your investment in your website while delivering a more convenient mobile app experience for users that expect to have an app.

Whether your website includes complex custom features like product configurators, custom checkouts, unique payment gateways, or a fully custom tech stack, MobiLoud has you covered.

Our solution works for a wide range of use cases, from e-commerce to publishing, media platforms, community sites, directories, portals, CRMs, and enterprise-level web applications used both internally or externally.

We can seamlessly transform your site into a powerful mobile app, no matter how complex or customized your web setup may be, with minimal effort from your team.

Yes, MobiLoud works with virtually any website. Whether your site is built on Shopify, WordPress, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Magento/Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Drupal, or a completely custom tech stack, we can turn it into a high-quality mobile app.

We also support headless CMS and API-driven websites, including setups built on Next.js, React, Vue, or other modern frameworks. As long as your website is mobile-optimized, MobiLoud can convert it into a fully functional iOS and Android app, preserving your existing design, content, and functionality while adding native app features like push notifications, app store presence, and improved navigation.

Unlike other app builders, we don’t require you to rebuild or redesign anything. Your app stays in sync with your website, meaning any updates you make to your site are instantly reflected in your app without extra work.

If your business operates primarily online, a MobiLoud-powered app will provide a seamless extension of your web experience, offering users the benefits of a fast, reliable mobile app while allowing you to retain full control of your content and branding.

Building and managing an app with MobiLoud is incredibly simple.

The process requires no coding, and minimal time and effort on your part. You’ll only need to spend around 5-10 hours on the initial setup. This includes providing essential assets like logos and images, registering your Apple and Google accounts and answering a few questions to help us understand your needs.

From there, we take care of everything. Our team handles building the app, optimizing it for iOS and Android, and submitting it to the App Store and Google Play. You don’t need to worry about the technical steps.

Once the app is live, managing it is even easier. Your app is linked directly to your website. Any updates you make to the site (whether it's content, design, or functionality) automatically sync to the app.

There’s no need to update the app separately. You can focus on maintaining your website, and the app will stay up-to-date automatically.

With MobiLoud, you get the benefits of a native app with minimal ongoing effort.

Switching from an existing app to MobiLoud is very easy. We ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your business and no impact on your app users.

The new app is delivered as an update to your existing app, so your customers won’t have to download anything new. They will simply receive the updated app when it goes live, ensuring no interruptions in their experience.

To make this transition even easier, we offer a special deal for businesses switching from competitors. We waive all setup fees and provide a discount equivalent to what you're paying them, so you're not paying double during the transition, if there's any overlap.

Most customers save 20% to 50% by migrating over to MobiLoud from their existing vendor.

Our team handles the technical aspects of the switch, including building and submitting the new app to the App Store and Google Play. You can expect a high level of hands-on service and support throughout the process, for a hassle-free migration. Everything is done for you by your team, and it's just a matter of weeks to get your new app live.

By switching, you’ll benefit from a platform designed to save you time and money while offering a more powerful, flexible mobile app solution.

Technically, yes, MobiLoud is a no-code mobile app builder. But it's a lot more than that. It’s a fully managed service that converts your existing website into a mobile app. The process starts by an onboarding call with your customer success manager, then our team configures the app to mirror your website’s content, design, and functionality. This setup requires no coding or work on your end, as we handle everything for you.

As part of this initial set up, we apply small optimizations to improve the app’s user experience, making adjustments like removing elements that don’t work well on mobile, and adding native app features like navigation bars. You’ll be able to review and manage your app through the MobiLoud dashboard, where you can push updates to app pages, customize settings, and view analytics.

If you want to further customize the app experience, your developers can use conditional code to detect app users and deliver a different experience from what’s available on the web. This flexibility allows you to create app-only features, pages, or unique designs.

Our service handles the end-to-end process, from setup to app store submission, so you can launch your app quickly and cost-effectively, with the confidence that it will be approved by both Apple and Google.

MobiLoud is a no-code software solution and a service to turn your website into a mobile app that leverages your existing mobile site and its functionality and design. We build your mobile app by combining your website with our native elements for navigation, push notifications, and other app-specific functionality.

We don't offer custom development services, but your web development team can make any sort of change and build any sort of experience in your mobile app by simply building it on the web and using a few lines of code to identify the app and create a specific app-only experience.

As part of our service, our team implements small tweaks to your website for a better experience when it's loaded within your app. This includes removing site footers, widgets or pop-ups, or elements that don’t offer a good mobile experience or aren’t allowed in mobile apps. We handle these changes using our experience from publishing over 2,000 apps to ensure a smoother in-app experience and get your app approved on both Apple and Google stores.

After your app is live, we’re also happy to make similar small changes based on your feedback and requests. However, we don’t offer custom web or app development or extensive modifications of your site's design, beyond what's described above.

Our platform, though, is highly flexible, and there's no limitation to what you can achieve with just web development. You can build almost any app functionality, provided that you can find a solution to build that experience on the web.

We provide documentation to help your web development team or agency to implement app-only features, pages, or unique app experiences.

While we handle the technical aspects of building your app, your involvement is crucial for a successful and timely launch.

The 30-day timeline to launch is achievable when we work together effectively.

We need your team to complete onboarding quickly, provide access to necessary accounts (Apple Developer, Google Play, OneSignal, Google Analytics), and be available for important decisions.

For ecommerce apps, we'll need your help testing the complete purchase flow since this often involves your specific payment systems and backend processes.

Quick feedback on app builds helps us maintain momentum, and having decision makers available ensures we can move forward efficiently at each stage.

Based on our experience launching hundreds of successful apps, we’ve developed an efficient timeline to get your app live quickly.

• Week 1–2: Our team works closely with you to finalize onboarding, configure your app, and prepare customizations.
• Week 3: We focus on testing and refining the app to ensure it meets expectations and store requirements.
• Week 4: Your app is submitted for app store review, and we monitor the approval process to ensure a smooth launch.

This timeline ensures your app is live in about 4 weeks, allowing you to start engaging your customers as quickly as possible. While every project is unique, this approach has proven successful for many of our clients.

‍

Yes, your app updates automatically whenever changes are made to your website. There’s no need to rebuild or manually update the app. This seamless integration is a huge advantage, ensuring your app is always in sync with your website without any extra effort.

Because your site and app share the same codebase, you avoid the development backlog typically required for apps to catch up with site changes. This allows you to build everything on the web (apps, widgets, vendor tools, or custom features) and have them work seamlessly within the app. It also means you can build quickly and maintain feature parity between your site and app, something nearly impossible with custom app development or traditional app builders.

This approach eliminates duplication of work, keeps your app users engaged with the latest updates, and provides a fast, cost-effective way to maintain your app. While updates happen automatically, we recommend testing the app after significant changes to ensure everything looks and functions as expected. With MobiLoud, your app evolves alongside your website, giving you the flexibility and efficiency you need.

No, you don’t need a developer to use MobiLoud. MobiLoud is no-code, and what's more, we provide a fully done-for-you service, handling every step of the app creation process—from configuration to store submission and ongoing maintenance. This ensures your app is up and running without requiring technical expertise on your end.

Once your app is live, you’ll have full control over its functionality and experience. By making changes to your website, those updates will automatically sync with your app, saving you time and effort. With MobiLoud, you can create a completely custom app experience that reflects your brand and meets your business needs—all without writing a single line of code.

If you’re comfortable working with HTML, JavaScript, or your existing web tech stack, you can go even further. MobiLoud supports custom functionality and design, so you can bring advanced features or unique experiences to your app, all powered by the tools and integrations you already use on your website. Whether it’s custom code, third-party integrations, or dynamic elements, MobiLoud allows you to extend your app’s capabilities effortlessly.

With MobiLoud, you combine the flexibility of the web with the native experience of an app, giving you unmatched control and the ability to iterate quickly, all without the complexity of traditional app development.

Switching to MobiLoud from another platform is easy, and your users won’t experience any disruption. Your app will be published as an update on the App Store and Google Play, so your existing users will automatically receive the new version on their devices without needing to re-download or take any action.

MobiLoud gives you full control and ownership of your app and user base. You’ll use your own App Store and Google Play developer accounts, ensuring you stay independent. If you ever decide to move away from MobiLoud, you can take your app and users with you, keeping everything under your control.

Building a mobile app the traditional way is expensive because it requires separate development for iOS and Android, custom design, ongoing maintenance, and infrastructure costs. A custom app can easily cost $50,000 to $200,000+ upfront, plus thousands per month in maintenance and updates.

MobiLoud makes mobile apps far more affordable and efficient by leveraging your existing website as the foundation of the app. Instead of rebuilding everything from scratch, we turn your website into a fully functional iOS and Android app with native features like push notifications and an app store presence—without the usual development costs.

Unlike DIY platforms or agencies that leave you to figure things out, we act as your remote app development team, handling everything from setup to publishing and ongoing support. Our focus is on your success and ROI, ensuring your app drives real engagement, revenue, and retention.

We’ve been doing this for over 10 years, publishing 2,000+ apps for businesses across eCommerce, media, and membership sites. We know what works, and we bring that experience to every app we launch. With MobiLoud, you get a fully managed solution—your app is live in 30 days or less, and we stay with you to make sure it delivers results.

‍

A mobile-friendly website is essential, but it can’t match the engagement and retention power of a mobile app. Websites rely on users remembering to visit. Apps keep your brand one tap away on their home screen and bring people back with push notifications, a direct, high-converting channel that outperforms email and SMS.

Beyond that, an app offers a faster, smoother experience compared to mobile browsers, with native navigation, instant access, and better performance. This is why top brands invest in mobile apps. They know it drives higher retention, more frequent visits, and increased revenue.

With MobiLoud, you get the benefits of a mobile app without the cost and complexity of custom development. We’ve been building apps for over 10 years, have launched 2,000+ apps, and act as your remote app team, handling everything from setup to publishing and ongoing success.

If your goal is to keep customers engaged, increase repeat visits, and drive more revenue, an app isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a powerful tool you’re missing out on.

We build, launch, and manage everything for you. Unlike DIY app builders that give you a tool and leave you to figure things out, MobiLoud acts as your remote app development team, handling the entire process from start to finish.

Over the years, we’ve learned that businesses don’t just need a tool to build an app. They need a team that ensures their app is successful. A DIY solution leaves you responsible for setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance. If something breaks due to a website update or app store changes, you’re on your own.

With MobiLoud, we take full responsibility for your app. We make sure it always works as intended, no matter what changes on your site or in your business. Our team is always there to assist, ensuring the app runs smoothly with a great user experience.

But success doesn’t stop at launching the app. We help you promote it, drive downloads, and make full use of push notifications to keep users engaged and increase revenue. Most businesses don’t have time to figure out app marketing or how to maximize retention through push notifications, so we guide you through the process and ensure you get real value from your app.

We’ve been doing this for over 10 years, have published 2,000+ apps, and know what it takes to build and maintain successful mobile apps. We don’t just get your app live—we stay with you to make sure it drives real results for your business.

‍

MobiLoud apps perform just as fast as your website because they load your existing site inside a native app shell. Performance depends on your site, but modern websites and web apps are already fast enough to power a great mobile experience.

We assist with improving site speed when needed, working with your team to optimize performance. The app also enhances the experience with native elements that improve navigation and loading speed. Tabs are preloaded when the app launches, so switching between them is instant. Features like a native menu, splash screen, and smooth transitions create a faster, more app-like experience. Regular updates ensure the app stays optimized for the latest iOS and Android versions.

‍

Yes, MobiLoud fully supports third-party integrations because your app is powered by your existing website. Any integrations, plugins, or tools that work on your site will work in the app as well.

For advanced cases, we provide support to ensure smooth integration. We can help configure settings, troubleshoot compatibility issues, and implement workarounds when needed. Additionally, we offer native module support for select third-party SDKs if deeper integration is required.

‍

‍

Building a native app from scratch is slow, expensive, and often unsustainable in the long run. Most custom native app projects fail—not necessarily at launch, but over time, when the app and website evolve separately. Keeping both in sync becomes too slow and costly, leading to an outdated app that’s difficult to maintain.

With MobiLoud, you get all the benefits of a mobile app without the downsides of traditional native development:

• One codebase, no duplication – Your website and app stay in sync automatically, so you’re not maintaining two separate products.
• Speed and efficiency – Launch in weeks instead of months, at a fraction of the cost of custom development.
• Flexibility and agility – Your app evolves as fast as your website, without the slow iteration cycles of native development.
• Cost savings that scale – Custom native apps require a dedicated team and ongoing maintenance, while MobiLoud gives you a complete solution with minimal overhead.

If your website is your primary product and the app is meant to complement it, MobiLoud is the clear choice. You get the reach and engagement of a mobile app while keeping the speed, flexibility, and efficiency of a single web codebase.

‍

MobiLoud provides a complete push notification solution, helping you engage users and bring them back to your app. We set you up with OneSignal or Klaviyo, the leading platforms for push notifications. Both allow unlimited push messages on their free plans, with Klaviyo being ideal for eCommerce.

We add automated cart abandonment push notifications, handled by our platform, to recover lost sales. You can segment and personalize notifications based on behavior, interests, or past actions. Deep linking ensures notifications open directly in the right place in your app for a seamless experience.

Users have full control over their preferences. They can easily opt out of specific push notification categories directly from the app or turn off push notifications altogether in their device settings. On average, 60-80% of app users opt in to receive push notifications, making it one of the most effective channels for engagement.

With our done-for-you push notification service, we handle push notifications for you, setting up automations, drafting messages, and running the channel. Our team works with your marketing team to translate existing email campaigns into push notifications or create new ones based on your marketing calendar, including promos, new product drops, and special offers.

‍

Yes, you can customize your app’s design and features while keeping your existing website as the foundation. If you can build it on the web, it can be in your app.

With MobiLoud, you have the ability to create a completely different app experience if you'd like, though most customers only apply small enhancements to their site, which are typically already mobile optimized.

On the native side, you can modify the app's navigation, add a native tab bar, customize splash screens, and adjust branding elements like icons and colors. Our team can take care of all of this for you, or you can control the app from the MobiLoud Configuration Dashboard. If you need app-specific design changes, you can apply them using custom CSS or detect when the app is being used and adjust content dynamically on your website.

This can be done using code, and our team can assist with these changes, or your team can handle it with instructions from our documentation. We provide a handy JavaScript library that makes these changes straightforward using just HTML and CSS. It will make it trivial to identify when the site is loaded in the app or in the browser, so you can hide/show site elements as needed, or customize the display of certain elements when they're loaded in the app.

For deeper customizations, we support native modules and third-party integrations. Our NativeFunctions bridge allows you to control native features like opening the camera, triggering native modals, or handling push notifications—directly from your web code, giving you more flexibility to control the app experience.

‍

MobiLoud is a full-service, done-for-you solution, meaning we take full responsibility for your app. We don’t just provide a tool, we work like your app team, handling everything from setup to publishing and ongoing maintenance, so you don’t have to worry about the technical side.

• Hands-on support and management – We take care of setup, customization, app store submissions, and ongoing updates to keep your app running smoothly.
• Single codebase, no duplication – Your app stays in sync with your website automatically, eliminating the complexity of maintaining separate native apps.
• More control and customization – You can make app-specific adjustments using our JavaScript library, custom CSS, and the NativeFunctions bridge to interact with native features.
• Deep eCommerce expertise – We support integrations with Klaviyo for push notifications, Yotpo for reviews, and other key tools used by eCommerce brands.
• No design or functionality restrictions – Your app can be as powerful as your website, supporting any plugins, custom scripts, or third-party tools you already use.
• Expert guidance on app growth and retention – Our team works closely with you to drive installs and engagement. With experience managing hundreds of successful apps, we help you get the most from your app through app store strategy, push notification campaigns, and best practices for driving retention and conversions.

Unlike DIY builders or template-based solutions, MobiLoud ensures you have a fully branded, high-performance app without the headaches of traditional native development.

‍

You can have your app ready in as little as two weeks, depending on your requirements. The whole process typically takes 3-4 weeks, including setup, testing, and submitting to the App Store and Google Play.

We handle the entire process for you, including configuring the app, implementing any necessary customizations, and guiding you through app store approvals. If you need an accelerated timeline, let us know, and we’ll do our best to speed things up.

‍

With our Klaviyo integration, we set up automated push notification flows directly in your Klaviyo account. This includes key automations like:

• Abandoned cart recovery – Bring back potential customers who left items in their cart.
• Order and shipping updates – Keep customers informed about their purchases.
• Welcome and re-engagement campaigns – Onboard new users and bring back inactive ones.
• Promotional and personalized campaigns – Send targeted messages based on customer behavior.

We handle the setup for you, ensuring push notifications are integrated seamlessly with your Klaviyo email and SMS campaigns, making it easy to manage all customer communications from one platform.

No, high traffic or heavy usage won’t cause your MobiLoud app to crash. The app loads your existing website, so its stability depends on your website’s performance. If your site can handle high traffic, your app will as well.

Our native app shell is lightweight and optimized to run smoothly on iOS and Android. If your website experiences downtime or slow performance, that could affect the app, just as it would on mobile browsers. If needed, we can help you optimize performance and caching to ensure a smooth experience even under heavy load.

Yes, since your app loads your website, any updates you make will automatically appear in the app. If you want to preview changes before making them live, you have two options:

• Use the MobiLoud Configuration Dashboard – You can load your staging site in our built-in simulator to preview changes before they go live. This is free of charge and allows you to test updates quickly.
• Test in a dedicated staging app – If you have multiple environments (staging, production, development), we offer an add-on for $300/month to build actual mobile apps that you can install and use for testing before pushing updates to your live app.

These options ensure you can confidently test changes before rolling them out to all users.

Yes, you can make app-specific changes while keeping your website as the foundation. MobiLoud provides several ways to customize your app experience:

• App-exclusive products and discounts for Shopify – If you're using Shopify, you can set up app-only products and app-exclusive discounts, encouraging more users to shop through the app.
• Custom CSS for app-specific design – You can apply CSS to hide or modify elements specifically for the app, ensuring a cleaner, more mobile-friendly experience.
• Show or hide content dynamically – Using JavaScript or our built-in tools, you can detect when users are in the app and adjust content accordingly.

If you need help setting up app-specific features, our team can assist or provide guidance based on best practices.

MobiLoud lets you create a unique shopping experience for your app users with app-exclusive products and discounts for Shopify stores. This helps drive more engagement and purchases through your mobile app.

App-Exclusive Products

You can mark specific products as only available in the app, ensuring they do not appear on your website. This is done through Shopify’s metafields, and we provide a simple setup process to make it work. Read more on App Exclusive Products.

Once configured:

• Products marked as app-exclusive will only be visible and purchasable inside the app.
• These products will be hidden from the online store, but users on the app will see them normally.
• You can promote these products through push notifications to drive conversions.

App-Exclusive Discounts

You can also offer discount codes that only work within the app, encouraging more users to shop through the app instead of the website. Read more on App Exclusive Discounts.

Once enabled:

• Any discount code containing "APP" in its name will automatically be restricted to purchases made inside the app.
• If a user tries to apply an app-only discount on the website, they will see a message stating it can only be used in the mobile app.
• This feature is available for Shopify Plus stores.

If you need help setting up app-exclusive products or discounts, our team is available to assist.

MobiLoud works for almost all websites, but there are a few limitations to be aware of:

• Your app depends on your website – Since MobiLoud loads your website inside a native app shell, any design, performance issues or limitations on your site will also apply to the app. However, we can help optimize performance if needed.
• Advanced native features are limited – While we support native elements like push notifications, a native tab bar, and deep linking, features that require deep native development, like NFC payments, AR, or extensive offline functionality, are not supported.
• Some app store policies apply – Apple and Google have guidelines for apps that primarily act as web views. As long as your app provides a good experience and follows best practices, approval is not an issue, but we guide you through any potential requirements. If you have a fast, mobile optimized website, this won't be a concern.

For most web based businesses, these limitations are not a concern, and MobiLoud is the fastest, most efficient way to launch a high-quality mobile app. If you’re unsure whether your site is a good fit, we can review it and advise on any necessary adjustments.

Yes, you fully own and control your app. MobiLoud provides the technology and service to launch and maintain your app, but you are not locked into our platform.

• The app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, not ours.
• You control all connected services, including Google Analytics, OneSignal, Firebase, Klaviyo, and your website’s CMS and database. All your data stays with you.
• If you ever want to switch providers or build your own app from scratch, you can replace your MobiLoud app at any time with something else.

The only thing you don’t own is the source code of the MobiLoud platform, as that is our intellectual property. However, if you need access to the source code to modify it, maintain the app yourself, or keep a backup, we offer an add-on for $450/month, which provides ongoing access to the latest versions of our platform.

‍

From the moment you sign up and provide the necessary information, we typically take 5–10 business days to prepare and deliver the first version of your app for review.

The full process to get your app live generally takes around 4 weeks. This timeline includes key steps like making design adjustments, preparing app store graphics, testing, and incorporating your feedback to ensure everything is ready for submission.

Your involvement is critical during this process. You’ll need to review and approve your app, sign up for required developer accounts, and provide feedback on test builds.

Once the app is submitted, Apple and Google’s review process can take anywhere from 7–10 days, depending on feedback or changes requested by the app stores’ QA teams.

To ensure a successful launch, it’s a good idea to prepare marketing activities and materials ahead of time. However, we recommend scheduling these activities only after your app has been officially approved by Apple and Google.

We cannot guarantee that your app will be approved, but we have a strong track record of getting apps approved across both Apple and Google’s app stores. While it may take multiple submissions, we are confident in our ability to eventually get your app approved.

If your app is rejected and after multiple attempts cannot be approved due to a technical issue specific to the MobiLoud platform (i.e. factors we control), we will refund any subscription fees (monthly or annual) paid, excluding the setup fees, which are always non-refundable. Please note, this refund policy does not apply if your app is rejected due to issues related to your website’s functionality, design, business model, or if your app does not meet Apple or Google’s store guidelines. For example, certain business activities or app types may not be allowed on the platforms, and these factors fall outside of our responsibility.

‍

You pay a recurring monthly or annual fee because MobiLoud is more than just a one-time service.

The fee covers the ongoing license for our platform and ensures continuous support from our team.

We keep your app updated, optimized, and ready to perform at its best, while also handling all technical aspects like updates, app changes, and ensuring compliance with app store requirements.

It's not just about app updates when there's a new iOS or Android version. This ongoing element is critical for maintaining a high-quality app that adapts as your business grows and your website changes.

Our team also helps you with app marketing, user engagement strategies, and maximizing the impact of push notifications to keep your users engaged and generate incremental revenue.

‍

The setup fee covers all the hands-on services our team provides to ensure your app is polished and ready for launch. This includes optimizing your website and app to work seamlessly together and feel like a native app.

We make design improvements, add functionality from third-party apps or plugins, and handle any graphic design needs to ensure your app looks great.

Our team also conducts multiple rounds of testing to guarantee your app works as intended, bug-free.

We take care of setting up your app store pages, preparing screenshots, and managing the technical aspects of submitting your app to Apple and Google.

We’ll also guide you through the process, making adjustments based on your feedback.

Beyond the launch, we help you build an effective promotion strategy to make your app known to customers.

We guide you on how to use push notifications to drive engagement and increase revenue, offering ongoing support through strategy calls and materials to ensure your app’s long-term success.

‍

Yes, if you're not on a contract, you can cancel anytime with a 30-day cancellation notice.

At the end of your paid subscription period, you will close your account, delete the app, and ensure the app is removed from the App Store and Google Play, or replaced by one from another vendor.

We don't offer partial refunds. Once fees are paid, they will cover the full period without exceptions.

When you reach the maximum number of active users in your plan, the price will automatically adjust as your user base grows. For example, if you go over the limit, your pricing will scale based on the number of additional users. On the Startup plan, each extra 1,000 users will add $30/month. For the Growth plan, it's $40/month, and for the Corporate plan, it’s $50/month for each additional 1,000 users.

We understand that growth can sometimes be temporary, and we’re always flexible. If you have any concerns about pricing or upgrades, just reach out to us. We're happy to work with you to ensure everything fits your needs.

‍

Active users are the number of people who download and use your app within a 30-day period. You can track this easily using tools like Google Firebase or Google Analytics.

We charge based on active users for two key reasons. First, it ensures our business model is aligned with your success. As your app grows, our pricing scales with it, meaning we're invested in helping you increase engagement and revenue. We provide ongoing support to help you make the most of tools like push notifications and work with you on strategies to grow your app’s impact.

Second, more active users create higher demands on our systems and support. As your app becomes more popular, it requires additional resources, technical assistance, and system capacity. By charging proportionally, we can ensure that we’re able to maintain a high level of service and support as your app scales, even if you reach millions of users.

Fees start from sign-up because you get immediate access to our platform and team.

The fees cover the costs of building, testing, and launching your app, ensuring a smooth process.

This is necessary regardless of whether the app is approved or rejected by the app store, as those factors are beyond our control.

We will continue working with you until your app is approved, and we have a 100% success rate in getting apps approved.

Yes, you need to register as a business for both Apple and Google developer accounts. This is so you're fully in control of your mobile app and you own the relationship with both Google and Apple.

To register, your business will need a D-U-N-S Number. This is a unique nine-digit identifier assigned to businesses by Dun & Bradstreet, used worldwide to verify a company’s legal status and identity. Both Apple and Google use this number to ensure that your business is legitimate.

Once you have the D-U-N-S Number, you can proceed with registering for both the Apple Developer Program, which costs $99 USD per year, and the Google Play Developer Program, which has a one-time registration fee of $25.

We encourage you to initiate the registration process with Apple and Google right after signing up with us, to avoid any hold-ups later. By the time we have completed work on your app, your accounts should be ready to go.

Note we don't support individual or personal accounts.

‍

No, you don’t need to sign a contract to work with MobiLoud.

You can start by selecting the right plan for your business, and we will bill you on a monthly basis. It’s a simple, flexible process. If you prefer the stability and potential cost savings of a contract, feel free to contact us to explore that option.

Our team is available to discuss which approach makes the most sense for your needs.

‍

MobiLoud calculates fees based on the number of 30-day active users, as reported in Google Analytics or Firebase. A 30-day active user is defined as a unique device that has opened the app at least once during that period.

Each plan includes a specific number of active users, with additional charges when you exceed the limit:

• Startup Plan - Up to 1,000 active users, with an additional $30 per month for each extra 1,000 users.

• Growth Plan - Up to 5,000 active users, with an additional $40 per month for each extra 1,000 users.

• Corporate Plan - Up to 10,000 active users, with an additional $50 per month for each extra 1,000 users.

We update your plan every 90 days, based on the average number of active users over the previous 90 days. Temporary peaks in user levels due to seasonality or launches won’t impact your subscription.

If you’d like more predictability and potential savings, consider switching to an annual contract. Feel free to reach out to us to discuss this option.

‍

Before signing up, we provide a free app preview so you can see how your app will look and function. This allows you to evaluate the experience and ensure it meets your needs before committing.

Once you sign up, our team begins the intensive work of configuring and launching your app. If you have second thoughts at any time after signing up, you can cancel with a 30-day notice. However, all payments made up to that point are final, as they cover the work and ongoing support provided by our team. If you have any concerns, our team is always here to help and ensure you're satisfied with your app.

Our payment structure is straightforward and transparent. Payment is due at the time of sign-up and includes both the setup fee for your chosen plan and the first subscription period (monthly or annual).

The setup fee covers the detailed work of configuring your app and getting it approved on the app stores. The subscription fee ensures ongoing support, maintenance, and updates for your app. These costs are clearly outlined in your plan details and are charged when you commit to working with us.

To help you make an informed decision, we offer a free app preview. This allows you to see how your app will look and function before signing up. Once you decide to move forward, all payments are final, reflecting the work our team has already undertaken to create and maintain your app.

‍

We do not offer refunds once payment is made. Significant work goes into building and configuring your app to meet your needs. This includes app setup, customization, and ensuring it meets app store requirements.

To give you confidence before committing, we provide a free app preview. This allows you to see how your app will look and feel before making any financial decisions. Additionally, our team is available to address your questions or concerns throughout this process.

We always use a subscription model because work on a mobile app doesn’t end once it’s live. Apps require ongoing maintenance to keep up with SDK updates for iOS and Android version changes, as well as updates for the App Store and Google Play requirements.

Additionally, key components like push notification and analytics SDKs, along with our platform, need regular updates for security and performance.

A subscription also ensures you have access to support whenever you need it—even years after launch, whether for something as small as updating app store screenshots or more significant adjustments. This model provides the reliability and ongoing service you can count on.

We accept credit card payments for all plans. If you’re on a Corporate plan, we also offer the option to pay via bank transfer or invoice.

For most customers, credit card payments are the fastest and easiest way to get started. If you require bank payments and are on a qualifying plan, let us know, and we’ll set it up for you.
