How Natively works
Natively converts a website into an iOS and Android app without code. You connect your published Lovable app, add native features from its builder and download the app files to publish.
- Push notifications, in-app purchases and other native features on paid plans.
- Automatic syncing with your website.
- Essential includes 4 rebuilds; Unlimited and Lifetime include unlimited builds.
Your website in an app, or a native app: what App Review sees
A tool that shows your published web app inside an app keeps one codebase: change the website and the app changes too. The trade-off is App Review. Apple's Guideline 4.2 asks apps to go beyond a repackaged website, so an app that is mostly your site needs native features to stand on.
We rebuild the screens as a native React Native and Expo app on your existing backend, so the app reads as an app from the first review. More on why wrapped apps get rejected.
Who does the store work
Natively's plans let you publish to both stores yourself, and its App Store publishing service starts at $600 if you'd like help. With LetsDeployIt the store work is part of the plan: listings, privacy forms, submission and replies to reviewers.
The full list is in the Lovable launch checklist and costs, and new personal Google Play accounts also need a 14-day closed test with 12 testers.
What Natively and LetsDeployIt cost
Natively's Essential plan is $19 a month ($12 a month billed yearly), Unlimited is $49 a month ($32 billed yearly), and a Lifetime plan is $699 once. Its publishing service starts at $600. Apple's $99 a year and Google's $25 one-time fees apply either way.
