Top 10 Software Platforms for Building Mobile Apps in 2020

Software  platforms that help you create a mobile app are gaining popularity in 2020. These solutions offer both entrepreneurs and SMBs an easy way to develop and deploy digital solutions in an easy and cost-effective manner. We’ve taken a look at the field and compiled some of the best options out there. First, though, let’s take a look at some of the trends within the space that should be on your radar.

Low-Cost Development

Perhaps the greatest trend in app development is a shift towards making it affordable for SMBs to take part. This new business model does away with upfront costs and instead provides  monthly subscriptions, as offered by AppSheet, Good Barber, and Bizness Apps. This pay-as-you-go model allows you to scale your build in real time. One more platform to make note of in this area: iBuildApp offers monthly subscriptions that are realistically scaled for bigger business, including a “Company” subscription that offers 5 apps and corporate training.

Ongoing App Management

Of course, a large part of managing budgets happens on the backend, as well. In order for an app to function well in the long term, businesses need ongoing oversight to keep up with third party updates and changes.   Some platforms are offering ongoing maintenance in addition to app development.  Builder, via their Builder Care solution, is one option that helps their customers keep these necessary future costs low.

No Code

A big selling point for many app dev software platforms is a streamlined user experience, viz a viz “no code.” “No code” means that users don’t need technical expertise in order to properly engage with the product. No code platforms include Webflow, Simbla, and Builder. Some take a drag-and-drop approach, but Builder in particular t lets its audience start with a core template of recognized features, and then work off of that.

Bringing It All Together
