Why MobiLoud is the best alternative
If you're comparing MobiLoud vs Median, the most important question isn’t “who has the most features”. It’s “who will help my mobile app succeed?”
Median offers a capable low-code platform. But it’s just that—a platform.
You (or your devs) have to build the app, figure out how to get it published, and then maintain it.
If you're not technical, that’s a major burden. If you are, it’s still time-consuming. And time is money.
MobiLoud is different. It's a fully-managed solution that acts like your outsourced app team.
You get an iOS and Android app live in the stores within weeks—not months. We do the heavy lifting: configuration, testing, optimization, store submission, push notification setup, and even launch strategy.
MobiLoud is particularly powerful for ecommerce brands. You can connect your app to your existing marketing channels (like Klaviyo or OneSignal), send targeted push notifications to drive sales, and never worry about duplicate content or managing two platforms. The app syncs with your website in real-time, so any update you make goes live across web and app instantly.
Our focus isn’t just on getting your app live—it’s about making it work. MobiLoud is built for measurable results:
- More repeat purchases
- Better retention
- Increased engagement
We’re here to ensure your mobile app becomes a high-performing channel, without any unnecessary effort or overhead.
So, if you want to own the outcomes (and not the complexity) MobiLoud is the smarter choice. It’s faster, simpler, and more aligned with business growth than any platform-based alternative.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the cost difference?+
MobiLoud is subscription-based (starting at $1,499/month), with everything included. Median has a lower upfront cost for self-serve, but can quickly get expensive if you need help or add features. Their full-service option starts at $7,200 upfront.
What if I need to update the app later?+
With MobiLoud, updates are automatic and ongoing. Your website powers the app, so updates to your site show instantly. We also maintain compatibility with OS updates. With Median, you need to manage SDK updates or be on their annual support plan.
Will MobiLoud work with my website?+
Yes!
No matter your tech stack, MobiLoud will work seamlessly.
Shopify, Shopify Plus, WordPress, Webflow, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Magento, BigCommerce, even custom websites... MobiLoud works perfectly.
It's platform-agnostic. We're not tied to any specific platform. If you migrate to a new platform, or add custom features to your website, your MobiLoud apps will keep working with no disruption.
Are MobiLoud apps native apps?+
While the content within your apps is shared with your website, the apps themselves are built with native code.
Your users will be able to download the apps and load them on their mobile devices, just like any native app.
You'll be able to send native push notifications - not mobile web notifications like a website or a PWA.
From your customers' perspective, they'll be using an app that looks and feels like a custom native app; with none of the work, cost, time investment and overhead for you.
Do I need any coding skills to use MobiLoud?+
No. MobiLoud is fully no-code and fully managed. If you can run your website, you can have an app with MobiLoud.
Our developers handle all the technical parts, while the content within your app is managed from your website.
If you want to add a new feature, change the design, make a tweak, just do so through your web platform, and your apps update automatically.
