Freelance app builder — add mobile to your website package
In one sentence
BuildMyAPK is a freelance app builder for solo freelancers and small studios. When a client wants an app and you only ship websites, describe the product or paste their URL, preview a live Expo app, then export React Native source or build APK/IPA. The underlying product is an AI app builder — this page is the freelancer offer.

Best for
- BuildMyAPK. Best for freelancers who need a client phone demo without learning React Native on day one.
- Referring a mobile specialist. Best when the client needs deep native features or store ops you do not want to own.
The freelancer problem
You sold a site. The client asks for an app. Hiring a specialist eats the margin; saying no loses the upsell. A freelance app builder lets you show a live phone preview in days, then decide whether to export source or bring in a contractor.
How to sell it without overselling
Price generation + preview + one revision cycle. Exclude App Store / Play submission unless you add a separate line item. Point curious clients to the AI app builder definition page so expectations stay product-true.
- Demo on a phone frame before you talk APK
- Export source if they want long-term ownership
- See build apps for clients for packaging language
Price
Free (AI providers charge $5); Pro $29 (147 credits); Pro+ $49 (297 credits). Checked 2026-08-31 on the pricing page. Your client fee is separate.
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. Not a full-time React Native hire replacement for complex apps; not store submission.

FAQ
Is BuildMyAPK a freelance app builder?
Yes for freelancers who need client mobile MVPs from chat or a website URL, with Expo source and optional APK builds.
Do I need to know how to code?
Not for the first preview. Coding helps if you export and customize the Expo project.
How is this different from the agency page?
Same product. Freelance app builder is packaged for solo offers; agency app builder covers multi-client delivery and handoff.
