An app builder is a ai platform that turns your idea into a published native iOS or Android app without writing a single line of code.
Appy Pie’s app maker does this in three specific ways: our AI suggests features based on what your business needs (not a generic checklist), publishing to the App Store and Google Play is handled through a guided submission process with our team assisting on rejections, and 200+ built-in modules — bookings, in-app purchases, push, offline mode, analytics, chat — mix without engineering handoffs.
Since 2016, over 10 million users have built 100,000+ published apps on Appy Pie. This page covers how the platform works, how we compare with Bubble, Glide, and FlutterFlow, and the questions first-time app founders ask us most.
Three themes come up again and again in G2, Capterra, and our support tickets: reach, accessibility, and the feeling of being supported from idea to store.
“Appy Pie helped our team expand its presence beyond the website. Having our own branded app pulled everything our audience cared about into one place they actually open every day.”Entertainment team · Netherlands
“Our favorite thing about Appy Pie App Maker is that anybody on our team can create an app, there is no coding needed so we don’t need specialized help or staff.”David B · Verified G2 reviewer
“We needed a mobile app that was quick to publish and easy to update. The support team walked us through the Google Play submission steps on a live call — that made the difference.”Business owner · Verified reviewer
Six customers across six industries. One thing in common: they all shipped narrow before broad.
Trusted by these businesses
“Appy Pie gave us the freedom to own our customer relationships and reduce fees.”
The food-ordering app shipped in 12 days, pulled 35% of orders away from third-party platforms, and saves the team roughly $2,000 every month in commission fees.
“Having our own app helped us bring everything together in one place for users.” Movies, live TV and games app launched in 3 weeks.
“The app made it easier for customers to stay updated with us across locations.” Multi-location restaurant unified 4 sites under one app.
“We wanted a flexible app that could grow with our mission.” Recipes, fitness and wellness content in one app, built in about 4 weeks.
“Guests found it convenient to access everything.” Guest-engagement app unified menus, schedules and activities — shipped in 3 weeks.
“It allowed us to focus on content instead of managing multiple systems.” Exam-prep app for accountancy candidates, built in under a month.
“We wanted to make it effortless for our customers to enjoy us wherever they are.” Mobile ordering across multiple food truck locations.
Numbers from 100,000+ published apps. The fastest builds tend to share one trait: narrower audiences, not fewer features.
This is what every Appy Pie launch reduces to.
Start with a name — or describe the app in one sentence. The AI picks up where you leave off.
Choose from 200+ modules: bookings, payments, push, chat, analytics, geofencing, offline mode.
Submit to the App Store and Google Play through our guided publishing flow. Our team assists if Apple or Google push back.

Comparison verified April 27, 2026. Data sourced from each platform’s public pricing and feature documentation pages. Reviewed by the Appy Pie product team. We update this comparison quarterly — last quarterly review completed April 2026.
Straight talk: if you need a fully custom backend, heavy server-side logic, or developer-level control, Bubble or FlutterFlow will fit you better. Appy Pie is built to get a real native app shipped fast without code — not to replace an engineering team.
Here’s what’s actually happening in the App Store and Google Play ecosystem right now. We publish it because these numbers change how you scope your first build.
Apple reviewed ~7.77 million submissions in 2026. About 1.93 million were rejected. Top reasons: privacy manifest violations, crashes, missing PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy in bundled libraries.
This is the #1 reason first-time indie apps die after weeks of work. Our submission team handles resubmission for you.
