Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about transitioning from Shoutem to WebsiteToApp.
What makes WebsiteToApp a superior alternative to Shoutem?
Shoutem forces business owners into expensive monthly subscription models ranging from $59 to $189 every month ($708 to $2,268 per year). If your card expires or you pause payment, your mobile apps are immediately deactivated. WebsiteToApp allows you to take any existing responsive website, web app, or SaaS URL and convert it into a production-ready Android APK/AAB and native Windows .EXE desktop app in under 10 minutes for a flat $45 one-time fee with permanent lifetime ownership.
Can I generate a native Windows desktop installer (.exe) with Shoutem?
No. Shoutem is strictly designed for iOS and Android mobile devices. It cannot compile desktop software. WebsiteToApp includes an automated Windows compiler powered by Microsoft Edge WebView2 that packages your web application into an offline-capable, high-performance Windows .EXE installer.
Does WebsiteToApp charge any ongoing subscription fees?
No. WebsiteToApp operates on a transparent, one-time flat pricing model. You pay $45 per app build once and own the generated binaries for life. There are zero monthly subscriptions, zero bandwidth charges, and zero renewal fees.
Can I publish the generated app to Google Play Store?
Yes. WebsiteToApp delivers signed Android App Bundle (.aab) files compiled strictly against Google's latest target API level standards. You receive full release credentials ready for immediate upload to the Google Play Developer Console.
Do I keep 100% of my ad revenue and user payments?
Yes. WebsiteToApp takes a 0% cut of your in-app advertising or payment processing. Integrate Google AdMob or any third-party payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay) directly on your website and retain 100% of your earnings.
