Comparing Costs: BuildFire vs. Template App Builders
At first glance, it may appear that other app makers are cheaper than BuildFire. But this isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison. That’s because BuildFire is an app maker and full-service development solution under one roof.
Compared to standalone app builders, you’re getting an incredible value for your subscription. You might save money by using a cheap app maker today, but it will cost you significantly more in the long run—when you’re forced to purchase new features, switch platforms, or start building your app again from scratch.Â
