## Ways to pay less

- **20% saving on annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page toggle shows a 20% saving for annual billing, for example $20 instead of $25 per user a month on Standard. Source: https://www.appenate.com/pricing/

## Key features

- **No-code app builder:** A drag-and-drop builder for mobile apps and forms, with all screen types on every plan.
- **Offline operation:** Forms can be filled in without a connection; data is stored on the device and synced once it reconnects.
- **Built-in connectors:** Push entries to Google BigQuery, SharePoint lists, Power BI, Salesforce, OneDrive for Business and Google Drive, plus a REST field for custom calls.
- **Job dispatch and documents:** Premium adds tasking and job dispatch and document management.
- **AI form tools:** The Pro plan includes an AI form generator, a conversational assistant and AI voice and photo fill.
- **White label and self-hosting:** Paid add-ons let partners rebrand the apps and cloud platform, or host the whole platform on their own servers.

## Good for

- Mobile workforces doing inspections, audits and checklists
- Teams that want per-user pricing with a published price list
- Resellers who want to offer apps under their own brand

## Worth knowing

- Every plan has a 5-user minimum, so the lowest cost is $100 a month billed annually.
- Standard caps form submissions at 1,500 a month; job dispatch needs Premium and AI features need Pro.
- Web forms that need no login, Sync, Distill, Replicate, the Enterprise Toolkit and white-label offerings are add-ons priced through sales.
- The page says prices are lower above 25 users but does not show those figures.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Appenate you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 93 of the 148 other form and survey tools grade higher. It costs $240 a year.

- You could make: Forms: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- You could not: A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
