GoodBarber: build beautiful native iOS, Android & PWA apps

1. What is GoodBarber?

GoodBarber is an all-in-one no-code SaaS platform for creating native mobile apps for iOS and Android, plus Progressive Web Apps. Founded in 2011 — before the term "no-code" even existed — it gives anyone the ability to design, build, and operate a professional-grade mobile app from a single web-based back-office, without writing a single line of code. Three independent engines generate the output: Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android, and a PWA engine for the web. One configuration drives all three.

2. Why use GoodBarber?

GoodBarber stands out for a few concrete reasons. First, the output is genuinely native — compiled Swift and Kotlin binaries, not hybrid wrappers or WebViews, which means real performance and full App Store compliance. Second, it's truly all-in-one: hosting, CMS, push notifications, analytics, payment processing, and an extension store with hundreds of add-ons are all bundled under one subscription — no stack tax, no separate tools to wire together. Third, the total cost of ownership is approximately one-tenth of custom mobile app development. Finally, GoodBarber is agent-ready: it ships an open-source MCP server so any AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) can manage your app by natural language. A GoodBarber app is downloaded every 4 seconds across 152 countries.

3. Who typically uses GoodBarber?

GoodBarber serves three main profiles: content creators and community builders (local media, sports clubs, associations) who need a branded native app with push notifications and easy content management; small e-commerce businesses and local shops that want a native mobile storefront with integrated checkout and 0% commission on transactions; and marketing teams at larger companies who need to ship a mobile app fast without developer resources. A fourth segment — web agencies and freelancers — uses the Reseller program to build and operate apps for their own clients under a white-label setup.

4. Pricing and plans

GoodBarber offers two product lines (Content Apps and eCommerce Apps), each in three tiers:

• Standard — PWA only. Content Apps from €36/month, eCommerce from €50/month.
• Premium — PWA + native iOS + Android. Content from €70/month (€660/year), eCommerce from €90/month (€840/year).
• Pro — full feature set, unlimited staff, 250K push/month. Content from €135/month, eCommerce from €180/month.

A Reseller program for agencies starts at €280/month and covers unlimited apps with Pro-tier capabilities, white-label back-office, and no commission on resold work.

Compared to the cost of custom app development, even the Pro tier represents a fraction of the price with hosting, CMS, push, and analytics already included.
