BuildFire
Native iOS and Android builder with a 150-plus plugin marketplace for business apps.
Updated
The read
BuildFire provides a plugin-driven architecture that lets businesses assemble native iOS and Android apps from over 150 prebuilt feature modules covering content, events, push notifications, and loyalty. The platform has powered more than 5,000 apps and handles app store submission and updates. Plans start at $165 per month for Standard, rising to $440 per month for Scale with unlimited in-app purchases. The per-month cost is high relative to category, and the modular approach limits how far teams can deviate from the available plugin set.
Where it shines
- Plugin-first architecture with 150-plus modules requiring no custom code
- Handles App Store and Google Play submission and ongoing updates
- White-label reseller program available for agencies
Worth knowing first
- Higher monthly cost than most visual builders, starting at $165 per month
- Template-driven design limits visual differentiation between apps
