The 15 Best Shopify Mobile App Builders

We rounded up every mobile app builder that works with Shopify stores and picked out the best of them, to help you find the right one for your business.

By VJ · Updated November 2026

Key Takeaways

  • Entry prices for Shopify app builders go from $19 a month to $1,999 a month, with various subscription options in between (and above).
  • Shopney, Superfans and MobiLoud share the top score per our methodology. Shopney and Superfans are API-driven no code app builders; MobiLoud is a managed service that builds the app on your existing store.
  • Tapcart, Apptile, Appbrew and AppMaker add a developer layer (custom code blocks, an SDK or source access) for brands with an engineering team.
  • Most of these tools charge a flat monthly fee, and several app builders add a percentage of in-app sales on top of that.

Your best customers already shop with you on their phones. An app puts your store on their home screen, keeps them logged in with payment details saved, and reaches them on the lock screen with a push notification instead of an email they might not open.

Building one no longer takes a development team. The tools below turn an existing Shopify store into native iOS and Android apps, from self-serve builders at $19 a month to managed services that design, launch and maintain the app for you.

This guide compares 15 Shopify app builders side by side: what each one costs, how the app gets built, and the kind of brand each one suits best.

Shopney logo

1. Shopney

From $149/mo

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. Every plan includes unlimited push notifications and built-in in-app chat. There are no commissions or success fees, and it rates 5.0 across 770 Shopify App Store reviews (October 2026).

Best for: Shopify merchants who want a support-led, no-code path to a native app with strong push tooling, and don't mind paying up for tier-gated integrations.

Superfans logo

2. Superfans

From $1,000/moBest for live selling

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 rates 4.9 across more than 900 Shopify App Store reviews (October 2026), and support quality is 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.

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.

Best for: Shopify boutiques and DTC brands that sell through live video and push-driven drops, from smaller boutiques on Starter to retention-focused brands on the Unlimited plan.

MobiLoud logo

3. MobiLoud

From $799/moBest for keeping your current site

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.

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 monthly subscription based on plan and monthly active users, with no revenue share on orders.

Best for: Established ecommerce brands that want their existing site turned into a native app, fully managed, without maintaining a second codebase or paying order-based revenue share.

Tapcart logo

4. Tapcart

From $500/mo

Tapcart is a no-code builder for Shopify stores, backed by a $50M Series B in 2021. It is used by high-volume brands including Princess Polly, BÉIS and Culture Kings.

Merchants assemble apps from reusable blocks in a drag-and-drop dashboard. 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.

Best for: Established Shopify and Shopify Plus brands that want a self-serve native app with strong design flexibility and built-in marketing tools, and the order volume to justify a higher monthly price.

Apptile logo

5. Apptile

From $599/mo

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.

Beyond the tiles, 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 monthly subscription with usage allowances for monthly active users and live-selling hours, and no sales commission or revenue share is listed.

Best for: Shopify brands wanting a no-code native app with heavy live-selling/video commerce and an optional developer/SDK escape hatch, on subscription pricing with no revenue share listed.

Appbrew logo

6. Appbrew

From $199/mo

Appbrew is a 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 you configure the app content yourself while Appbrew handles builds and store publishing.

Merchants assemble content in Appbrew Studio from drag-and-drop blocks, and those blocks reach further into Shopify data than a typical template: 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.

Best for: Established Shopify and Shopify Plus DTC brands that want a heavily customized native app and can absorb a higher, partly usage-based price.

Venn Apps logo

7. Venn Apps

From $1,999/moBest for a managed, bespoke build

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. 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. Full Shopify Markets support covers multi-currency, multi-language and expansion stores.

Best for: Established, design-conscious Shopify (and Shopify Plus) brands, especially in fashion and cosmetics, that want a bespoke, fully-managed native app rather than a self-serve template.

Hulk Mobile App Builder logo

8. Hulk Mobile App Builder

From $79/mo

Hulk Mobile App Builder starts 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. Paid tiers come with a 14-day trial, and it rates 4.7 across 75 Shopify App Store reviews (October 2026).

Best for: Shopify merchants who want a low-entry-cost native app from an established Shopify app vendor and don't need a large third-party integration catalog.

Reskyt logo

9. Reskyt

From $450/moBest for multi-platform brands

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.

Best for: Mid-market and enterprise ecommerce brands (especially in Spain / Southern Europe) on Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, VTEX or similar that want a fully custom native app built and managed for them.

MageComp Mobile App Builder logo

10. MageComp Mobile App Builder

From $19/moLowest entry price

MageComp Mobile App Builder is the lowest-priced entry in this roundup at $19 a month, though that plan wraps your website in an app shell and native apps start at $29 a month. MageComp's team assists with publishing and support, and the apps are built in React Native.

The publisher is MageComp LLP, a Magento and Shopify development agency in Bhavnagar, Gujarat. The Shopify App Store listing carries the Built for Shopify badge with a 5.0 rating across 61 reviews.

The feature set covers a drag-and-drop editor with real-time preview, unlimited push notifications on the native plans, abandoned cart recovery push, and real-time product and inventory sync with Shopify. Analytics, GA4, Meta Pixel and loyalty features sit on the $99 Premium plan.

Best for: Small Shopify stores that want a low monthly price for an app that wraps their website ($19) or a branded native app ($29), with MageComp's team assisting through publishing.

SimiCart logo

11. SimiCart

From $99/mo

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. Paid plans start at $99 a month with a 14-day trial and no success or revenue-share fee.

Best for: Shopify merchants wanting a supported, template-based native app with flat monthly pricing (no revenue share); also Magento merchants seeking a done-for-you native app via custom engagement.

NAPPS logo

12. NAPPS

From $299/mo

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.

Best for: Shopify brands (mostly EU-based) that want a fully native app with community/retention features and hands-on onboarding rather than a purely self-serve tool.

Evlop logo

13. Evlop

From $99/mo

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.

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.

Best for: Shopify merchants wanting a native app with predictable flat pricing and hands-on launch support, without giving up a revenue share.

Shopgate logo

14. Shopgate

From €299/moBest for in-store fulfillment

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.

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.

Shopgate also covers fulfillment beyond the app: 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.

Best for: Established mid-market and enterprise retailers on Shopify, Shopware or Adobe Commerce that want a customizable native app plus omnichannel fulfillment, especially in the DACH region.

AppMaker logo

15. AppMaker

From $1,000/mo

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 starts at $1,000 a month and includes a 1% fee on in-app sales, so compare it with flat-fee builders at your sales volume.

Best for: Established D2C / Shopify brands (and agencies) that want a fully custom, code-extensible native app rather than a templated one, and can absorb $1,000+/mo plus a revenue share.

How Do You Choose a Shopify App Builder?

Most Shopify app builders cover the same core features: catalog sync, push notifications and Shopify checkout. These are the differences worth checking before you choose one.

Decide who builds the app. Self-serve builders such as Shopney, Superfans and Hulk let your team assemble and edit the app in a dashboard. Managed services such as MobiLoud, Venn Apps and Reskyt design, submit and maintain it for you.

Check how the app is made. Most builders create a separate native app from blocks or templates. MobiLoud builds the app from your existing site instead, so its theme, checkout and integrations carry over.

Match the integrations you already run. Reviews, loyalty, subscriptions, search and email or SMS tools each need to work inside the app, so check them against the builder's list before you switch.

Model the full price. A flat monthly fee is easier to forecast than a fee on in-app sales, which some builders add on top.

How Are These App Builders Ranked?

Every builder gets a WAP Score, our proprietary 0–10 rating that powers this ranking. Rather than one reviewer's opinion, it blends longevity, the weight of independent customer reviews, service model, and flexibility and functionality. Pricing always comes from each vendor's own pricing page, and a tool that won't name a customer or say when it was founded scores lower for it.

Final Thoughts

If your team wants to build and edit the app themselves, a self-serve builder such as Shopney covers the core from $149 a month, and Superfans costs $1,000 a month. If you have developers, Tapcart, Apptile and Appbrew let them extend the app in code. If you would rather hand the work over, MobiLoud, Venn Apps and Reskyt build and maintain it for you.
