Comparison
InstantPWA vs Appmaker
Native mobile app for Shopify, or an install prompt for any storefront?
Appmaker focuses on converting Shopify stores into native mobile apps with drag-and-drop screens. InstantPWA works across any storefront platform and skips the native-app build entirely — it is a script that prompts existing visitors to install the site they are already on.

When to pick which
Use Appmaker if you are Shopify-only and want a fully native mobile app experience with app-store presence. Use InstantPWA when you want fast, low-cost install growth on the storefront itself, or run on a non-Shopify stack.
