Apphive review
A mobile-focused builder for apps that combine payments, maps, data, and native publishing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Apphive is a no-code platform for building native iOS and Android applications through a drag-and-drop editor and AI-assisted generation of screens and app flows. It is aimed at individuals, small businesses, and teams that need mobile products without traditional programming. The platform covers user sign-up, login, profiles, social login, local and cloud databases, external APIs, GPS, maps, tracking, navigation, push notifications, payments, and in-app purchases. Projects can be previewed on devices and published to Google Play and the Apple App Store.
Pricing is structured around a free entry point and two paid tiers. The Free plan includes the Apphive previewer, 100+ API and payment integrations, and 20 stored versions. Premium costs $70 per month and adds Android publishing, editors and testers, the Previewer and Web App, custom API access, in-app purchases, and AdMob. Unlimited costs $90 per month and adds publishing to both iOS and Android, app cloning, multi-language apps, and 50 Android and 50 iOS builds per month. Annual billing is available, and annual subscriptions are refundable within five days of the original purchase; monthly subscriptions are non-refundable.
Apphive fits projects whose core experience depends on mobile capabilities such as maps, location tracking, payments, notifications, and account management. Its listed integrations include Google Maps, Google login, Facebook login, Stripe, Firebase, and AdMob, giving teams several common building blocks for connected apps. The main limitation is the paid publishing threshold: Android publishing begins with Premium, while publishing to both major mobile platforms requires Unlimited. Choose Apphive when native mobile delivery and these built-in capabilities matter most; consider an alternative if you need a lower-cost starting point for broad app development or do not require mobile publishing.
