InstantPWA vs Vajro

No-code native app builder, or an install prompt for your live store?

By The InstantPWA team — Product & engineering·Last updated August 1, 2026

Vajro builds a native mobile app from your Shopify/BigCommerce store, distributed via app stores with drag-and-drop customisation. InstantPWA is not a native app builder — it adds an install prompt to your existing site so it can be added to the home screen directly from the browser.

When to pick which

Use Vajro if you specifically want a native app in the app stores with Vajro's customisation tools. Use InstantPWA when you want to lift installs of the site you already run, without building or maintaining a second native app.
