Median.co Alternative — More Features, No Monthly Fee

Median.co (formerly GoNative) is a powerful website-to-app platform with a long track record. But in 2026, its pricing structure puts it out of reach for most developers and small businesses. If you're paying $99–$299/month for a Median subscription — or evaluating Median and wondering if there's a better option — this guide is for you.

We'll cover what Median offers, where it falls short, and how WebToApp compares as a full-featured alternative.

What is Median.co?

Median.co converts websites to iOS and Android apps using a WebView approach, augmented by a JavaScript Bridge that allows web code to call native Android/iOS APIs. Founded as GoNative.io, Median is one of the oldest players in the website-to-app category and has a mature, well-documented platform.

Median's strongest features:

Median's pricing (2026):

| Plan | Monthly | Annual |

|------|---------|--------|

| Starter | $99/mo | $79/mo |

| Pro | $199/mo | $159/mo |

| Business | $299/mo | $239/mo |

The Starter plan includes 1 app. The Pro plan includes 2 apps (both Android and iOS platforms for one app). These are subscription fees — if you cancel, your app's capabilities degrade.

The JavaScript Bridge Problem

Median's signature feature — the JavaScript Bridge — lets web developers call native APIs from JavaScript. In theory, this is powerful. In practice, it introduces significant complexity:

For most website-to-app conversions — e-commerce, blogs, SaaS dashboards, directories — the JavaScript bridge is never used. You're paying $99–$299/month for a feature you don't need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WebToApp's JavaScript injection equivalent to Median's JavaScript Bridge?

WebToApp supports injecting custom JavaScript that runs on every page load. This covers common use cases: adding analytics tags, customizing UI, managing session tokens. Median's full JS Bridge — which allows bidirectional calls between web code and native Android APIs — is a more advanced system. If your Median implementation calls native APIs directly (camera, contacts, Bluetooth), evaluate those specific calls before switching.

What happens to my Median subscription if I switch?

You can cancel your Median subscription after confirming your WebToApp-built app works correctly. There is no data loss — your website and its content are unaffected.

Does WebToApp support multi-tab navigation like Median?

WebToApp supports a configurable navigation bar with custom tabs, which covers the majority of multi-tab navigation use cases. Complex tab configurations with individual WebView states per tab are a Median-specific feature.

Stop Paying $99/Month for What Costs $10

The core value proposition of Median — converting your website to an app with push notifications — is available at WebToApp for a one-time $10 fee.
