FAQs

What is a news app builder?

A news app builder is a user-friendly software platform that empowers you to create a news app without extensive coding knowledge. It simplifies the app development process, allowing you to design, configure and personalise your own mobile apps without coding.

Can I create a news app prototype?

Yes you can! With our free prototyping tool, Builder Now, you can create a clickable mockup of your idea in under 10 minutes. Experiment with the flow of your app and share it with friends, customers or investors for feedback.

Why should I choose Builder.ai to create my news app?

Builder.ai offers a fully managed service, meaning there's zero learning curve and no drag-and-drop dread. You can create a news app with custom functionalities with us in comparison to the rigid templates used by other no-code/low-code app builders.

When you work with Builder.ai, your app development cost is finalised before your project starts in a Buildcard, which lists every feature that makes up your app. Because this process is handled up front, you receive a guaranteed pricing plan for your app project, meaning there are no nasty surprises down the line.

What’s more is you own your code once your two-year payment plan is complete, making it easy to migrate your app to another platform or add custom features to meet emerging business needs.

Finally, we bundle in an app maintenance service for the first year of your project, ensuring your app and website stay up-to-date, bug-free and secure.

How much does it cost to build a news app?

Builder.ai gives you custom pricing for your news app project because we charge per feature. Our AI fits all your features together and lists all your app development costs in a Buildcard before you pay for your news app, so there are never any uncalled surprises.

How long does it take to create a news app?

A more complex app takes longer to build.

Our Studio Store apps can be up and running in as little as 1 week. Studio Store apps are pre-packaged mobile apps for small businesses with customisable branding.

An enterprise app that needs to do new, complex things and integrate with legacy systems will take longer. Most of our customers are somewhere in between.

But unlike most other app builders, you don’t have to cross your fingers about timings. We use AI (which uses every app feature we’ve ever built to spot patterns) to get you an accurate timeline before you start.
