Become the Amazon of your market

If buyers and sellers come back to you more than once, usually yes. A marketplace grows on repeat activity, and an app is the easiest way back: it sits on the home screen, keeps people signed in and reaches them with push notifications. Kazderni's app has more than 400,000 downloads, more than every other app in its market combined.

Once people already buy and sell on your site. An app speeds up the activity you have rather than creating it from nothing, so it pays off most once at least one category, city or segment is working. That's when more frequent visits start to turn into growth that compounds.

If your marketplace runs on the web, yes: Sharetribe, CS-Cart Multi-Vendor, Dokan and other WooCommerce marketplace plugins, Mirakl-powered storefronts and custom builds all work. If your marketplace works well in a mobile browser, it can power your app. Kazderni runs on WordPress, and The Hunting Lease App runs on Squarespace.

Yes. Both sides sign in to the same app, and each sees what your site shows them, from a buyer's searches and bookings to a seller's listings, orders and payouts.

Yes. Stripe Connect, Adyen, Mangopay, escrow and your own split-payment logic run on your site, so they work in the app as they do on the web. Apple's and Google's rules let physical goods and real-world services use your own checkout, so bookings and orders don't go through in-app purchase.

Yes. Your listing forms work in the app, and sellers can add photos from their camera or photo library, as they would in a mobile browser.

Your platform triggers them through OneSignal's API when something happens: a new message, an offer, a booking request or a payout. Each notification opens the right conversation or listing in the app. You can also send campaigns, like new listings or seasonal offers, from the OneSignal dashboard.

Yes. Your site can tag users in OneSignal by location, category or saved search, so each buyer only hears about the listings and price drops that match.

Yes. The Hunting Lease App replaced its first, hard-coded native app with MobiLoud, and now ships changes on its website without going back to a developer. In most cases we publish the new app as an update to your existing App Store and Google Play listings, so your ratings and users carry over.

Yes. Apple rejects apps that only repackage a website, which is why your app gets native navigation, push notifications, persistent login and deep links. We handle the submission and anything a reviewer asks, and we've published more than 2,000 apps since 2013.

The Business plan is $1,499 a month, or $1,274 a month billed annually, plus a one-time fee to build and publish the apps, and it includes up to 10,000 monthly active users. Enterprise is custom-priced. Neither plan takes a share of your transactions, so your cost stays the same as volume grows. A custom native marketplace app typically costs $250,000 to $1M+ a year.

Plan on 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff: about one to two weeks to build, customize and test, then App Store and Google Play review, which usually takes one to two weeks. Hotels4Truckers launched in under a month.

Start with your most active sellers, who gain the most from instant alerts, then your regular buyers. We plan the launch with you: a banner on your mobile site, emails to both sides, a QR code on listings, receipts or at events, and a reason to install now, like faster replies or app-only alerts.

You do. We publish both apps under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, reviews, users and data belong to you. MobiLoud owns the platform that builds the app, and if you ever move on, your listings and users stay with you.
