Let us be frank: our mobile devices are overloaded with apps. Today, for nearly anything, you can download one—from a health assistant to count your steps and calories, to an online clothing store app that offers you a 10% discount on your first purchase. Having your own app has become one of the best ways to build customer loyalty and increase conversion rates in eCommerce.
Until very recently, hiring an app development service could be prohibitively expensive. However, advancements in AI have brought to the forefront new tools that are highly accessible and easy to use.
In this article, we present a top 8 list of the best solutions for creating an app, based on the evaluation of 58 experts in the industry. This vertical is part of our 2025 Ecommtech Guide, which you can download free of charge at the following link
