BuildFire

Overview

BuildFire is a mobile app platform built around a library of plugins that are assembled into an app; higher plans unlock more of the library^[7]. Its pricing page states that publishing support is included in every plan, with BuildFire handling App Store and Google Play submission and approval; customers pay Apple’s and Google’s registration fees^[7].

Standard costs US$165 per month and includes iOS, Android, tablet and PWA publishing, 100,000 push notifications a month, 5 GB of storage and one admin seat^[7]. Growth costs US$315 per month and adds one in-app purchase, more plugins, 150,000 push notifications and an account manager; Scale costs US$440 per month with unlimited in-app purchases, all plugins, 300,000 push notifications and premium support^[7]. Annual billing is 20% cheaper, and professional services and white-label reseller plans are also offered^[7].

BuildFire is more expensive than most builders in this list and has no listed free trial, only a demo^[7]. Its plugin model speeds up standard apps but constrains highly custom designs.
