Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about migrating from GoNative to WebsiteToApp.
What happened to GoNative.io and why do developers need an alternative?
GoNative.io rebranded as Median.co and pivoted toward enterprise contracts and high-priced agency tiers costing between $3,000 and $8,000+ per application. Website owners, e-commerce stores, and startups seeking simple, robust WebView app wrappers find GoNative pricing prohibitive. WebsiteToApp offers a $45 flat one-time fee with full white-label ownership and zero recurring maintenance fees.
Can GoNative package websites into Windows .EXE desktop software?
No. GoNative / Median.co is strictly focused on iOS and Android mobile platforms. It cannot compile native Windows desktop software. WebsiteToApp produces both Google Play production AAB packages and native, self-contained Windows 10/11 .EXE desktop installers with offline caching.
Do I own the signing Keystore (.jks) with WebsiteToApp?
Yes. When you compile your app on WebsiteToApp, you receive the full cryptographic signing Keystore (.jks) file, certificate fingerprints (SHA-1/SHA-256), and credentials. You maintain 100% ownership and independence to publish, update, and manage your app on the Google Play Console.
How does ad monetization compare between GoNative and WebsiteToApp?
GoNative treats AdMob monetization as an expensive add-on plugin requiring costly license upgrades. WebsiteToApp integrates native Google AdMob banners, interstitials, and rewarded ads out-of-the-box with 100% ad revenue retention and zero revenue sharing.
How fast does WebsiteToApp compile the mobile app compared to GoNative?
While GoNative enterprise builds often require multi-day sales onboarding or complex local Xcode/Android Studio compilations, WebsiteToApp runs automated cloud build pipelines that compile production-ready Android APK/AAB and Windows .EXE packages in under 10 minutes.
