The Best Shopify Mobile App Builders: 15 Tools, Ranked

Superfans, known as Vajro until its rebrand around 2025, is a no-code builder that turns a Shopify store into native iOS and Android apps. It has one of the largest review bases in the category: 4.9 across roughly 880 Shopify App Store reviews, with support quality the theme that comes up most often in them.

You design the app in a web dashboard from theme presets and homepage widgets, previewing against your live catalog, and Superfans' team handles submission into your own Apple and Google developer accounts. Its defining feature is live video selling, with in-app and Facebook simulcast, cart hold, replays and barcode-scanner product racking. That is the most developed live-selling stack among the builders here.

Superfans is Shopify-only. Checkout is native, built on Shopify's Storefront API, with express checkout for Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. Push notifications are unlimited from the entry plan.

Shopney is a no-code builder for Shopify and Shopify Plus stores, on the Shopify App Store since July 2019. Its own team handles app store submission and publishes update builds, which puts it between self-serve and fully managed.

You design the app in a drag-and-drop editor with 15 design element types, or let Shopney AI assemble a first version from your store content and edit from there. There is no code layer: customization comes from a fixed set of themes, four to eight depending on plan, plus layouts, colors and fonts.

It installs as a Shopify sales channel, so catalog and inventory sync in real time and checkout is your own Shopify checkout presented inside the app. Two things it is known for are unlimited push notifications on every plan and built-in in-app chat. There are no commissions or success fees, and it rates 5.0 across 723 Shopify App Store reviews.

MobiLoud is a done-for-you service rather than a builder you operate. It has run since 2013 under Fifty Pixels Ltd, a London company, and states more than 2,000 brands served.

Its approach differs from the rest of this list. Instead of rebuilding your store as a separate native app, MobiLoud builds the app on top of the site you already run, so the app is powered by the same catalog, checkout, content and integrations as the website, with a native layer for the things a browser cannot do. There are no integration caps to design around.

There is no dashboard for you to operate: MobiLoud's team configures, designs, builds, tests and submits the app, then maintains it, and changes your web team publishes flow through automatically. Pricing is a flat subscription with no revenue share on orders.

Tapcart is a mature, widely used no-code builder for Shopify stores, and the best funded tool here after a $50M Series B in 2021. It is used by high-volume brands including Princess Polly, BEIS and Culture Kings.

Merchants assemble apps from reusable blocks in a drag-and-drop dashboard, with a large block library and a good deal of design flexibility. On top of that sits App Studio, a developer layer where engineers write custom blocks in React using Tapcart's CLI and expose settings for the marketing team to configure. Block and content changes deploy over the air, without an app store release.

Tapcart is Shopify-only, and checkout runs in Shopify's native checkout sheet, so existing payments, discounts and tax configuration carry over. Publishing requires your own Apple developer account.

Apptile is a no-code builder for Shopify stores from a Bellevue, Washington company founded in 2021. Screens are assembled from pre-built tiles, more than 300 by the vendor's count, rather than from a blank canvas.

Its range is unusually wide for a no-code tool. Tile AI generates components from a text prompt or a screenshot and outputs editable React code, and a full SDK, CLI and code editor sit behind the top tier. It also leans into live and video commerce, with live selling, multistreaming and shoppable feeds built in.

Apptile is Shopify-only and installs as a Shopify app, syncing products, collections and orders in real time with checkout handled through Shopify. Pricing is a flat monthly fee with no sales commission or revenue share.

Appbrew is a managed builder aimed at established Shopify and Shopify Plus DTC brands. The product launched in 2022 from a New York company, the apps are built in React Native, and the model is done-for-you: you configure the content, Appbrew builds and submits.

Its differentiator is depth of customization. Merchants assemble content in Appbrew Studio from drag-and-drop blocks, but those blocks go further than most: metafield-based product and collection blocks, custom PDP and PLP templates, and source code access with GitHub connect on the top tier. AI is a large part of the pitch, with Milo as a growth assistant for merchants and Concierge as an in-app shopping assistant for customers.

Appbrew is Shopify-only and installs as a Shopify sales channel, so catalog and customers sync automatically. Checkout runs in a web view of your Shopify or third-party checkout.

Venn Apps is a Shopify-only builder delivered as a managed, white-glove service. A dedicated designer and account manager build a bespoke app for the brand rather than fitting it to a template. The company is London based, founded around 2018, and focuses on established fashion and cosmetics brands, with customers including TOTEME, Astrid & Miyu and Motel Rocks.

The apps are written natively in Swift and Kotlin with no webview wrapper, which is rare at this end of the market. After the initial build, the merchant gets a drag-and-drop CMS for day-to-day content and page layouts, covering the homepage, PDP, account and loyalty pages.

Real-time syncing of Shopify metafields and metaobjects keeps the app matched to the web store, and third-party tools are surfaced through Venn's own middleware layer. Checkout uses Shopify's own checkout, and localization is a strength, with full Shopify Markets support for multi-currency, multi-language and expansion stores.

Hulk Mobile App Builder is the low-cost end of this list, starting at $79 a month. It comes from HulkApps, a long-established Shopify app vendor now operated by Shop Circle, and carries Shopify's Built for Shopify badge.

The app is assembled from a section-based page builder and design templates, with real-time catalog sync. It is template-led rather than code-extensible: there is no SDK and no source access. You build in the dashboard and HulkApps submits the builds, using your own Apple, Google Play and Firebase accounts.

Its integration catalog leans on HulkApps' own Shopify apps for wishlist, product options and order tracking, alongside common third-party tools. A free development-store tier lets you build and preview before publishing, paid tiers come with a 14-day trial, and it rates 4.7 across 71 Shopify App Store reviews.

Reskyt is a Spanish platform that builds fully custom native apps, and one of the few tools here that is not Shopify-only. It also supports Magento, PrestaShop, VTEX, WooCommerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud, which matters if you run more than one storefront.

The model is managed and done-for-you. Rather than templates, Reskyt designs a bespoke app for each brand and builds it on its proprietary platform, then hands over a no-code CMS for the merchant to manage content after launch. The vendor cites a launch time of roughly four weeks.

The company has operated since 2013 from Lleida and states more than 600 apps built, with a portfolio weighted toward Spanish and Southern European brands including PcComponentes, Douglas and Sprinter. It leans into engagement and localization: segmented and API-driven push, geolocation and country targeting, multi-language and multi-country support, and a native barcode scanner.

MageComp Mobile App Builder is the cheapest entry point in this roundup at $19 a month, and it is done-for-you rather than DIY. MageComp's team designs, builds, customizes and publishes the app, and publishing can run through its own developer accounts.

The publisher is MageComp LLP, a Magento and Shopify development agency in Bhavnagar, Gujarat. The apps are built in React Native, and the Shopify App Store listing carries the Built for Shopify badge with a 4.9 rating across 45 reviews.

The feature set covers the essentials rather than the frontier: a drag-and-drop editor with real-time preview, unlimited push notifications, abandoned cart recovery push, and real-time product and inventory sync with Shopify. A free tier lets you build and preview before paying.

SimiCart is two products under one brand: a self-serve Shopify app builder launched in 2023, and an older Magento offering now delivered as custom development. The company dates to 2011 and is part of the BSS Commerce group in Hanoi.

For Shopify, you build in a web dashboard called App Studio: pick a theme template, then customize layout, colors, fonts and menus with a live QR-code device preview. It is template and configuration only, with no source-code access or custom-code SDK, and design-block counts are gated by plan.

Publishing is done for you. You submit a publish request and SimiCart's team builds and submits the app, and it can publish under its own developer accounts. The listing carries the Built for Shopify badge and is a Shopify App Store Staff Pick. A free tier lets you build and preview first, and paid plans start at $99 a month with no success or revenue-share fee.

NAPPS is a no-code builder that turns a Shopify store into native iOS and Android apps, with a feature set weighted toward retention: segmented, scheduled and automated push, shoppable videos, product stories and app-only community features.

Automations for abandoned cart, back-in-stock and order updates come out of the box, and the home, menu and PDP are built from a drag-and-drop editor. It carries Shopify's Built for Shopify badge, and NAPPS handles App Store and Google Play submission on the merchant's behalf, so onboarding is hands-on rather than purely self-serve.

The customer base skews European, including Modab, Missus and Zippy Kidstore.

Evlop is a no-code builder for Shopify stores from a team in Kathmandu, launched in 2022 and carrying the Built for Shopify badge. You build the app yourself in a drag-and-drop dashboard and Evlop handles app store submission.

Apps are assembled from drag-and-drop blocks with a real-device preview, and higher tiers add custom blocks written in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Liquid for deeper work. It supports Shopify metafields and metaobjects, multi-language, multi-currency and Shopify Markets.

One detail is worth noting: checkout uses Shopify's Checkout Sheet Kit, Shopify's own native in-app checkout component, rather than a webview. Pricing is a flat monthly fee with no revenue share, and done-for-you setup and managed services are available.

Shopgate is a mobile-commerce platform rather than a Shopify app builder, from a German company founded in 2009. It is backend-agnostic, serving Shopify, Shopware and Adobe Commerce stores plus custom backends, and aims at established mid-market and enterprise retailers, with a strong presence in the DACH region and the US.

The model is two-layer: a turnkey app with a page builder and branding controls, plus developer tooling in the form of an SDK, CLI and sandbox, and a themes-and-portals system for deeper customization. The frontend is decoupled from the shop backend through what Shopgate calls a Unified Commerce API, so a retailer can switch shop systems by swapping the connector rather than rebuilding the app.

What sets it apart is the scope beyond the app itself: a fulfillment suite covering Click & Reserve, ship-from-store, return-in-store and clienteling. Checkout is handled by the shop system. Customers include Camp David, Just Spices and Mey.

AppMaker turns a Shopify store into native iOS and Android apps built on React Native. It runs a layered model: a no-code dashboard for merchants, and a developer toolchain of a CLI, code blocks and an extensions marketplace for agencies and teams that want to go further. The company is based in Pune, India, and launched on the Shopify App Store in 2021.

You assemble the app in Appmaker Studio, a drag-and-drop builder with real-time preview, and personalize content by Shopify tags and metafields through conditional blocks. Where the standard blocks are not enough, developers can override any block with a custom React Native component, write reusable Code Blocks, or ship custom themes as npm packages. Full developer access sits on the Enterprise tier.

Its customer list skews to large Indian brands including boAt, Jockey India and Levi's India. Pricing is at the higher end here and includes a 1% fee on in-app sales, which is worth modelling against the flat-fee alternatives at volume.
