GoodBarber: powerful but expensive
GoodBarber is probably the most complete platform on the market. It has a powerful visual editor, 190+ extensions, and polished design. But pricing starts at €36/month for a basic web app, and goes up to €70/month if you want App Store publishing. Plus, you need Apple's developer account ($99/year).
It doesn't include a booking system or QR code — features you'd need to solve separately.
Best for: Medium-sized businesses with budget for advanced ecommerce or content needs.
Appy Pie: cheap but limited
Appy Pie is popular for its ease of use and entry price ($16/month). But the basic plan has significant limitations: only 500 push notifications per month, inflexible design, and if you want iOS publishing the price jumps to $99/month.
Users frequently report issues with technical support and hidden costs for advanced features.
Best for: Those who only need a very simple app and don't mind sacrificing design and customization.
Glide: ideal for internal apps, not for customers
Glide turns spreadsheets into apps. It's great for internal tools (inventories, CRMs), but doesn't offer push notifications and isn't designed for customer-facing apps. Pricing starts at $25/month but scales quickly with many users.
Best for: Companies that need data-driven internal tools, not customer-facing apps.
AppMyBusiness: all-in-one for €9.90
AppMyBusiness is designed specifically for local businesses and SMBs that need a professional app without complications. For €9.90/month VAT included you get:
- ✅ App installable on iOS and Android (PWA, no app stores)
- ✅ 15 customizable professional templates
- ✅ Showcase up to 20 products with photos and prices
- ✅ Online booking system (competitors don't include this)
- ✅ Unlimited push notifications for marketing campaigns
- ✅ Personalized QR code
- ✅ Complete admin dashboard
- ✅ No commitment: cancel anytime
The builder is free: you can design and test your app before paying a single euro.
Real cost: the difference is huge
If we compare the total annual cost including all equivalent features:
- AppMyBusiness: €118.80/year (everything included)
- GoodBarber: €432-840/year + $99 Apple account + separate booking system
- Appy Pie: $192-720/year + $99 Apple account + limited push
- Glide: $300-720/year without push notifications
AppMyBusiness costs between 3 and 7 times less than the competition, including features that others charge extra for.
Conclusion
If you have a local business (barber shop, restaurant, beauty salon, gym, clinic, store...) and want a professional app with push marketing, online bookings, and QR code, AppMyBusiness is the most complete and affordable option on the market in 2026.
No coding, no App Store needed, and you can try it free before deciding.
