| Best for | Solo founders and small businesses shipping one or two apps who want predictable flat pricing plus real Apple/Google Play distribution, and small agencies staying under five published apps and ten editors. | Educators, students, founders and ops/IT teams who need a simple native iOS/Android app shipped quickly, are happy for it to live on the platform, and want to test at zero cost first. |
| Avoid if | You need more than five published apps, operate in a regulated sector requiring verifiable compliance certification, need complex custom logic, cannot tolerate auto-renewal and credits-not-cash refund risk, or are shipping an iOS-first product where a launch-day crash is unacceptable. | You need deep UI customisation, in-app-purchase-dependent monetisation, source-code portability, a contractual SLA or named compliance certification, or a large current evidence base for procurement. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
