Low-code business apps or native consumer apps?
Appivo has its own low-code platform and designs, builds and runs custom AI agents, web and mobile apps and system integrations for its clients.[9][10]
Newly builds native iOS and Android apps for the App Store and Google Play from a chat, with a standard React Native codebase you can export. It suits customer-facing apps, startup products and apps for small businesses more than internal enterprise workflows.[1][7]
What does it cost?
Newly starts at $25/month with credits for agent work. Cloud simulators and native builds do not use credits. Apple charges $99 a year for its developer program and Google a one-time $25 for a Play Console account, whichever way you build.[2][3]
A written scope and quote before work begins. No prices are published.[11]
Can you use both?
Yes. Build and test the first version in Newly, then connect the project to GitHub. A working app gives a developer or agency a much clearer scope than a written brief, and you keep the code either way.[7]
Which should you choose?
Consider Newly if…
- You want to build the app yourself, without code, and see it on a simulator in your first session.
- You want a native iOS and Android app for the App Store and Google Play.
- You want a monthly subscription from $25/month instead of a project quote, and to own the code.
Consider Appivo if…
- You want a vendor to build and also operate your automation and integrations.
- You need integrations with tools such as Planday.
- You want custom AI agents for repetitive internal work.
Selection guidance is our interpretation of the documented workflows. Try the same small feature in each product and check the generated code, device behavior and publishing steps.
