Agency app builder — deliver mobile without a native bench

In one sentence

BuildMyAPK is an agency app builder for teams that already ship client websites. Paste the client URL or describe the brief, preview a live Expo / React Native app, iterate in chat, then export source or cloud-build APK/IPA. You still own store submission and client handoff — the AI app builder handles the first installable client.

Best for

  • BuildMyAPK. Best for agencies that need a branded mobile client from a site or brief, with Expo source to hand off.
  • Hiring a native team. Best when the retainer already funds full React Native engineering and store ops.

Why agencies use an app builder

After a site launch, clients ask for Android and iPhone. Staffing React Native for every retainer is rarely the economics. An agency app builder that starts from URL or chat gets you a demoable phone client, then Expo source your team or a contractor can extend.

BuildMyAPK is the AI app builder underneath — same chat → preview → APK path, framed for client delivery.

Client website to app (not a WebView)

Paste the live site. BuildMyAPK generates branded Expo screens — it does not wrap the HTML in a WebView and call that the deliverable. See client website to app and website to app for the technical path.

What you hand the client

Live phone preview for sign-off, optional APK/IPA for device testing, and GitHub Expo source when they (or you) take ownership. Pricing: Free (AI providers charge $5); Pro $29 (147 credits); Pro+ $49 (297 credits). Checked 2026-08-31.

  • SOW: generation + preview + export — not store approval
  • Client provides Apple / Google developer accounts when publishing
  • Complex native features still need RN engineering time

How to start

Create an account, open the dashboard, and describe the product in one sentence — or paste a website URL. Preview the live app in a phone frame, iterate in chat, then export source or run a cloud build for APK or IPA.

Honest limits

  • BuildMyAPK. Does not submit to App Store or Play Store for you, does not rebrand as a white-label agency product, and is not a WebView wrapper.
  • Your agency. You still own SOW scope, client credentials, store accounts, and post-launch support.

FAQ

Is BuildMyAPK an agency app builder?

Yes for client mobile MVPs from a site or brief, with Expo source and optional APK/IPA. It is not a white-label store-submission service.

Can my agency turn a WordPress site into an app?

Yes. Start from wordpress to app or client website to app. Output is Expo screens, not a WebView shell.

Do we need React Native developers?

Not for the first preview. You will want RN capacity when the client needs custom native modules or store polish.

What is the underlying AI app builder?

BuildMyAPK is an AI app builder and AI code generator for mobile apps. Describe an app in chat, preview a live mobile app, and export React Native source or build Android APK and iOS IPA. You can also start from a website URL when you already have a brand online.
