The top 10 mobile app builders for e-commerce aimed at mid-market and enterprise brands.

      Any ecommerce brand, once it reaches a certain size, must have a mobile app. However, while knowing the need for an app isn’t difficult, the challenge lies in making it happen. Fortunately, numerous companies exist that specialize in assisting ecommerce brands with launching mobile apps without needing to hire developers. The challenge, though, is that not all these tools cater to upscale, enterprise-level ecommerce brands.

      A no-code app builder can quickly create a functional mobile app for a small Shopify store. However, if you’re tasked with launching an app for a brand generating eight figures or more in online revenue, operating globally, and adhering to stringent brand standards and feature requirements, a templated no-code tool won’t suffice.

      There are alternatives for creating a mobile app for your store without having to pay a $500K development bill. You simply need to do some research.

      1. **MobiLoud**: MobiLoud approaches mobile app development for ecommerce brands differently. Instead of requiring you to rebuild your store within a template, MobiLoud transforms your existing website—irrespective of the ecommerce platform—into a fully native iOS and Android app. This ensures feature parity between your website and app without the drawbacks of template makers.

      MobiLoud stands out for mid-market and enterprise brands on platforms beyond Shopify, such as BigCommerce, Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, WooCommerce, and custom stacks. The app replicates your website, allowing all existing integrations, custom checkout flows, and third-party tools to function from the start.

      This service is fully managed, with MobiLoud's team overseeing the build, submissions to the App Store and Google Play, continuous maintenance, and updates. Brands like Estee Lauder, Jack & Jones, John Varvatos, and Vero Moda utilize MobiLoud, which typically reports an app launch timeline of about 30 days. Clients often find that app users convert at much higher rates than mobile website visitors, with some brands experiencing app revenue contributing 10 to 35 percent of their total online revenue.
