Best for a simple Android app from a no-code builder
Appy Pie is a no-code builder for Android and iOS apps with an AI app generator, priced per app from $16 a month on Android only. iOS needs the $60 Platinum plan, the store fees are extra, and removing its branding is an add-on at twice the plan price.
Who Appy Pie is for
- Fits if you want a basic Android app without writing code
- Makes sense if you resell apps and want the reseller programme
Who Appy Pie is not for
- Pricey if you want iOS, as it needs Platinum at $60 a month per app
- Pricey if you build several apps, since each app is another subscription
- Watch out: Apple's $99 a year and Google's one-time $25 fee are extra
- Watch out: removing Appy Pie branding is an add-on priced at 2x the plan
Why Appy Pie gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyBasic is $16 a month per app but Android only; iOS needs Platinum at $60 a month, well above this category's $20 middle.
- CFree plan and trialA 7-day trial for personal, non-commercial use. The page does not say whether a card is needed. No free plan.
- CFeaturesPrompt-to-app, modules, store publishing and push notifications. The listing's gaps: iOS only on Platinum, and caps on downloads from 500 to 2,000 a month.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and you build and publish your own app.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb builder; the apps it makes are for Android and iOS, with just Google Analytics and AdMob listed.

Keep Appy Pie, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Appy Pie you would be making a tool that builds and hosts other apps. 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: 47 of the 52 other AI app builders grade higher. It costs $192 a year.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Appy Pie’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Appy Pie?
Appy Pie turns a text prompt into a mobile app for Android and iOS that can be published to the app stores, and it offers a visual editor with built-in modules such as payments, bookings and push notifications. Plans are priced per app, with iOS publishing on the top tier.
Worth knowing
- Priced per app, so each additional app is another subscription.
- iOS publishing needs Platinum, and Apple's $99 yearly and Google's one-time $25 fees are extra.
- Removing Appy Pie branding needs an add-on priced at 2x the plan.
- The page says yearly billing saves up to 20%, but the yearly figures could not be read.
