No-code tool to build a mobile app, directory style

Hi!

I'm looking for a no-code mobile app builder that lets me create a directory-style App, with this features:

  • signups and accounts for both clients (business that are going to use the APp to be listed) and users
  • clients should be able to list their business by itself and edit it
  • users should be able to save businesses to their profile and add comments
  • search with filters (of course)
  • ... and payment options for clients. Payment for listing, payment for featured options.

Do you know if some no-code tool has all this options? I know Glide, Adalo, Draftbit, Flutterflow, AppGyver... but not sure if someone of them has all this options.

My other option is go ahead with Wordpress (a lot of themes offer these features) and try to use a plugin to convert it into an App.

Any thoughts or experience?

Thanks!

    You might wanna check out Frontlyapp. Check the demo apps here: https://www.frontlyapp.com/?r=ih

    For a basic MVP that will validate the concept and needs very little experience, I would use Glide. They've really improved the software, and it's very easy to drag and drop the elements you want and then edit them through spreadsheets in the browser or Google and Excel.

    For a polished, more functional application I would use Bubble. It's customizable from the ground up and extremely powerful, as well as receiving over $100m in recent funding, so the software will most likely increase exponentially soon.

    You really just need to pick the one that will allow you to validate the concept as soon as possible. You should be communicating with your potential clients and asking questions. Be sure your solving a specific problem for a specific person/group of people, then get it in front of them, listen to feedback, and iterate repeatedly.

    Good luck!

      Thank you! I think Glide could be useful here. I live Bubble, but I think it's not the best no code tool for building a mobile app (although there are great tutorials shared by their community to reach it). The main point for me is the ability to get payments, because the concept / idea has been validated, but we need to move forward to the next step (mobile app with payments). Thank you very much for your help and advice!

    I think you should be able to do this with Adalo. You might be able to find a template and modify it slightly to fit your specific needs. https://www.adalo.com/app-templates

      Thank you! Checking right now if Adalo has some components for payments and yes > they have Stripe connections and also a In-App Purchases extension. So it definitely can help. Thank you!
