An app builder is an online software tool that allows everyone to create and publish apps for mobile devices without code development. It's a turnkey solution to make mobile apps for people who don't have technical knowledge, by using a simple visual editor. So then, everyone can create their own app without outsourcing.
An app builder is a DIY tool to create mobile apps and designed for novice users with no programming skills. Therefore, it must keep easy to use and intuitive.
Based on automated tasks and routines, an app builder provides a very productive design environment to help users making their own apps without coding. Indeed, app makers are designed to perform repetitive tasks faster and accurately. In this sense, they are reckoned to be a smart technology to build mobile apps.
From a UX perspective, app builders provide a WysiWyg visual editor and Drag and Drop features helping users to visualize their app as they go, in real time. This makes it easier pushing edits and successive iterations.
An app builder is typically designed to deliver cross-platform apps allowing users to make mobile apps that work seamlessly on most operating systems available in the market. Additionally, the back-office includes built-in tools for development, testing, debugging and deployment that are workable by any developer using its own software and hardware.
Technically, app making software is hosted on a cloud platform which ensures high availability, security appliance and scalability.

App builders and No-Code technologies

Let's clearly locate app builder tools in the context of no-code technologies available on the market, according to their purposes and uses.
An app builder is a software tool that enables users to create mobile applications without code using a visual editor (a drag and drop interface), by moving elements on a canvas, instead of using programming languages.
Software App makers are part of a broader category of software tools known as no code development platforms. These platforms allow users to build a variety of software applications, including websites, databases, forms, and connectors, without needing to write code.
No code development platforms are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional development methods which are self-programming (DIY), hiring a freelance developer, outsourcing to a professional services agency.
Mobile app development is a professional domain where no-code development platforms are particularly useful. Indeed, app builder software are tools designed specifically for a vast audience of novice users without programming skills who want to create mobile apps, although professional people can also take advantage of this technology, reducing design and development delays.
Mobile app builders are able to release both native apps and Progressive Web Apps.
Native apps are built using a programming language specific to each operating system. Native approach allows mobile apps to use all the hardware and software resources of the mobile device on which they are installed. Native apps are classified by operating system: iOS apps for Apple devices running on iOS (iPhone)
Android apps for all devices running on Android OS, regardless of device manufacturer.
To create iOS apps, developers use Objective-C and Swift programming languages within XCode and AppCode development frameworks.
Android apps are developed using Java and Kotlin languages within Android Studio framework.
Unlike native apps, Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are web applications that work across different platforms and devices, providing an app-like experience to users even though accessed by a web browser. PWAs are developed using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

There are distinctive pricing models available across app maker platforms. So, we have narrowed it down for you. You will find the following subscription plans:

• Monthly/Yearly Subscription: in this case, you have to pay a fixed monthly fee to retain the services of the app maker and keep your app active. This may require a one-time setup initial cost.
• One-Time Fee: some platforms charge a one-time fee and offer support for the applications created. However, this support can be for a limited time or features and may require additional payments to expand the services. Many users choose this option if they wish to operate the app without recurring payments.
