Commly vs. other platforms

True native apps

Other platforms often use web wrappers or PWAs—mobile websites disguised as apps. They aren't real native apps, so they're limited in performance, features, and reliability. Commly builds fully native apps, so you get the real thing.

Your own store listings

With other platforms, your app often sits under their developer account, not yours. That means the app is offered under their brand. Commly publishes directly to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store under your name.

Done-for-you service

Unlike DIY builders that expect you to set up everything yourself, Commly handles the heavy lifting: building, launching, and maintaining your app. This way you can focus on your community, not the technical setup.
