For Eager Novices and Seasoned Professionals
A quick look at Appery.io’s website–the language used, the presentation of their services and plans, and more–will reveal that even though it is perfectly possible for solo flyers and beginners to grow and thrive with Appery.io, they have to be willing to learn more than just the basics. Yes, they will be able to use the app builder with next to no knowledge of coding; but to maximize its potential is another matter entirely. And with a price tag that’s now above average for this industry, maximization could be a big consideration when it comes down to choosing to use Appery.io over another app maker.
For seasoned professionals and people who aren’t looking to DIY as much as they’re looking for multilayered support for a small, handpicked team to work on one big shared app project of theirs, Appery.io could be a perfect fit; its paid plans provide great value for team environments.
10th Place9.0 out of 10Cross-Platform Development
Using Appery.io’s app builder, you will be able to quickly build and improve on mobile and responsive apps. And instead of having several native versions of the same app–as is usually the case with other app builders who promise to deliver you apps compatible with iOS, Android and more–Appery.io’s approach is to provide built-in support for popular frameworks to enable the creation of create hybrid apps that will behave like native apps, but use common APIs that will run consistently across platforms.
The same idea goes for their approach to web apps. They’ve provided built-in support for Bootstrap, the most popular and responsive UI framework, to enable web apps that will look great no matter what deive type or screen size.
Building Apps with Appery.io
Appery.io offers you complete app customization to suit your exact need in a very unique way, since it is the leading drag-and-drop, cloud-based app builder and platform.
Cloud-Based Advantages
There is no need to install any software or hardware to your computer or any other device to be able to use Appery.io, you just have to log in to your account at their website and you are off and running. You can make use of a Customer Console, too, which enables you and other people with permissions to edit app data and send push notifications without needing to sign into the platform with developer credentials.
Cloud-based also means that there’s easier collaboration and sharing between team members, designers, business users and customers–in real time. Cloud-based means people don’t have to take turns; multiple people can open and look at the project at the same time.
Speaking of teams, role-based team management is available, in terms of Appery.io providing a means for you to select roles and also manage permissions to resources for your team members.
Advanced Customization
As far as the visuals and the actual app UI (User Interface) goes, there are many options. For starters, you can start with either a preinstalled template–several of which are provided by Appery.io–or bring a custom template to the table. Once you have that, you can quickly work on the US with the drag-and-frop Visual Data Mapping Editor. For advanced users: you can even write your own custom Javascript for mapping purposes. For beginners: don’t fret; if anything, this editor makes it very and fast for anyone to create their own app. I just so happens that it also allows experienced programmers to even further customize with their own coding and editing.
Appery.io Pricing
Appery.io has different versions available with varying features for each, and with different prices. As mentioned, Appery.io once offered a free version with limited features, as well as a Basic paid version, which allowed you to create, edit and update 1 app as long as you are enrolled. A Standard version also existed, but it has now been revamped as their Pro plan.
The Pro plan includes 1 developer seat, allows you up to create 3 apps, offers 2Gb of storage, an allotment of 10 app versions, plus a host of other features. This used to cost less, but it is now priced at $90/month. You also have the option to add up to 2 more developer seats for a maximum of 3, but you would have to pay an additional $40/dev. seat/month.
They also have the Team plan, which will cost you $200/month, if billed monthly; this includes 6 developer seats, a total of 7 apps, 5Gb of storage, an allotment of 50 app versions, and more. If you feel that your needs aren’t covered by these two plans, you can go for the Enterprise plan. With this, you get a custom plan that fits the needs of your business, along with private deployment, enterprise-grade SLAs, and account management features. You need only contact them directly in order to get a quote.
If the prices seem too steep, it’s important to remember that Appery.io rates go down if you choose to be billed annually instead of monthly. For example: the Pro version’s $90/month becomes $60/Month when billed annually. The Team plan, meanwhile, will only cost $135/month if billed annually, instead of the $200/month price tag, allowing you to pay less and still get the features you desire. As for the Enterprise plan, you would have to get in touch with them directly in order to get a price quote for the annual billing.
What's the Verdict on Appery.io?
Appery.io Review 2020 – Conclusion
Whether you are an individual trying to make the next trending application available or a company looking to take your business to the next level, Appery.io can be a good fit for you. It is very convenient since they offer an easy to use visual editor; and because it’s a cloud-based platform, you don’t need to download anything. Just sign up and you are good to go. Creating apps is pretty intuitive, even if you don’t have any programming background, and they offer tutorials and tech support should you ever find yourself lost. That said, it is quite heavy on the pockets–especially since they removed the free and Basic plans, and offer no refunds. Thankfully they have a free trial so you can try it out before you commit to anything.

Seems to be bit of a comprehension problem …don’t let him near a computer—- Standard version also existed, but it has now been revamped as their Pro plan. This includes 1 developer seat, allows you up to create 3 apps, offers 2Gb of storage, an allotment of 10 app versions, plus a host of other features. This used to cost $45/month if you chose to be billed monthly, but it is now priced at $90/month.
Hey Buck,
No, we just updated the review because of his feedback. 🙂
Your bird must have fallen off his perch because your pricing is all wrong! This don’t have the Basic and the cheapest is Pro @ $90/month.
Hi Duane,
Our bird is, thankfully, still safe and sound up on his comfy perch. 🙂 We humans, on the other hand, do our best to keep our reviews accurate, but it is nearly impossible for us to keep track of all the updates regarding each and every company or product that we review (because those are a LOT). This review was written a while back, just reposted recently due to a site migration (which is why the dates are fairly recent). Anyway, thanks for bringing this up — we will definitely update our review ASAP.
