MobiLoud - Turn your website into a premium mobile app

@jonathan_prime thanks for the question Jonathan! I'd say we are quite affordable for small businesses, but it really depends on what your expectations are. We've got three pricing plans: Startup, Growth and Corporate depending on what you need. We also charge a one-time app submission fee since we handle the submission process for you. If you would rather be completely hands off, you can also opt-in for our full service package (most of our customers do) where we configure and customize your app and do all the work required to prepare a professional app store listing. While we aren't the cheapest solution on the market I like to think we're pricing ourselves right based on the value we provide :). You can take a closer look at our pricing if you're interested: https://www.mobiloud.com/pricing

@psaccomani congrats on the launch!

@psaccomani Congratulations on the launch!!

@psaccomani Congrats on the launch! 🎉

@sourabh_upreti thank you! 1. any web platform or tech stack that gets you a fast, well designed mobile site 2. we don't offer discounts (except for this week's launch!), so our entry price is our Startup plan at 200/mo or 170/mo when paid annually upfront - with the PH discount + annual it's $144/mo We're not the cheapest, but any business at the level where an app makes sense should see an immediate ROI. We offer a lot of service and support and our customers value that.

@darya98 thank you Dora!

@max_kotin thanks for the great questions! I’ve tried to address each of your thoughts below but let me know if you’d like me to dive deeper into anything. --- RN and Flutter: You're right - there's often a debate between RN, Flutter, and native development. MobiLoud offers a different approach. While RN and Flutter are fantastic for building from scratch with a native feel, MobiLoud focuses on leveraging what businesses already have: a functional website. It's about extending your web presence to mobile without having to rebuild. --- On Webview: I get the skepticism around this. In the past, webviews had limitations and performance issuss, but the tech has come a long way. A modern website offers great performance and a user experience that is often app-like so webview/hybrid apps are a great way explore a new channel without massive investment. They’re much easier to maintain for most teams especially those who don’t have or don’t want to build dedicated app teams. We’ve also done our best to enhance the webview experience to make it smooth and efficient. It's not just about wrapping a website; it's about optimizing that experience for mobile users, ensuring it feels integrated and native. --- Who it's for? I'd say that if you have a web app or online business e.g. e-commerce, the question shouldn't be "What's the best tech stack or platform to build the perfect native app?" It should be, "What lets me focus on delivering great products without adding to my workload and slowing down the business?". It's about only building once and simply extending those changes to your mobile experience. Imagine an ecommerce website that can't use crucial code from their website or a web app that's always improving while the app lags behind. Both of these could lead to significant impacts on revenue and user experience. Native apps also require a huge upfront investment - they are slow and expensive to build and maintain. This could potentially leave you stuck with something inefficient, that slows down the business and ends up costing money over the long run in terms of missed opportunities and a poor UX vs what web users get. --- When is it not a good fit? The reality is that while MobiLoud is versatile, it works best when you have a well optimized web experience and good mobile design. MobiLoud is not designed to build any app - if you don't have an existing website you can't use MobiLoud yet. It's really a solution for businesses that already have a successful website or web app and see the potential in mobile apps (to grow engagement, improve UX, use push notifications, satisfy customer demand, etc...) but would never see an ROI from replicating their work in a native app. --- Bit of a lengthy response, but I hope that answers some of your questions Max. Appreciate the engagement and support!

@psaccomani thanks a lot for such a detailed response! I definitely need to take another look at webview tech... Ironically, we just axed our mobile app in our small company exactly due to the same reason: too expensive to develop and maintain, even when it's build on Flutter. Now our strategy is 100% web app. Who knows, maybe one day we'll become one of your clients. Good luck!

@jvejgman thank you Jeremy!

@shitalgohil thank you! No limitations. Anything on your site can be in the app, but you can also pick individual pages/sections, or build some specifically for the app - you choose.

@philipp_john no we don't, our platform adds what your web app or website is missing to be able to have it running as a mobile app, from the same codebase - native navigation, push notifications, user settings, etc. And our team handles the whole app build and submission process to get the apps live approved and maintained over time. Any API based approach will be very limiting. Hard to make a general statement, it's always specific to the site/app, but while a custom native app could potentially be flexible enough to do what your site does, it will be very slow and expensive to keep in sync with new site features. Any API based app builder with pre-built blocks/elements will be very limited by trying to build a feature set for multiple customers and use cases - so unlikely to fit your specific use case. Our approach has proven to be the most flexible, if you value being able to have an app as good as your site, with the same feature set, and updating automatically over time, without any additional work.

@viks_rum thanks for the question! The process of converting your website to an app is pretty quick but we are accounting for all the additional work required to actually successfully launch on the App Store or Google Play. That includes: - The app build - Preparing the app for submission - Handling any back and forth with Apple or Google's team - Preparing your app store listing - Making any final changes And a few other steps that are crucial to make sure you don't run into any major issues with your launch. The time to launch can also vary depending on the complexity of the website, but we generally get most apps approved within the month :)
