Aeion Mobile Builder for Customer-Facing Apps
D2C brands, SaaS companies, and service businesses want their own mobile app — but native development is $200K-$1M and 6-12 months minimum. Mobile Builder ships real native iOS + Android apps via Expo SDK + EAS Build cloud compilation, in days. Server-Driven UI + OTA updates means iteration cycles drop from weeks (App Store review) to minutes (publish). Three concrete walkthroughs below: D2C shopping app, loyalty app, SaaS companion app.

FAQ
Expo SDK 55 + New Architecture (JSI + Fabric). Renders to native UIKit (iOS) and Android Views. 60 fps under load. Indistinguishable from a custom-built native app for end users.
Yes. All Expo modules supported. Custom native modules via Custom Components — included at the flat price.
Aeion-generated binaries pass App Store + Play Store review. Aeion handles signing + provisioning + submission. First submission: 1-3 days for review. Iteration via OTA: minutes (no review needed for layout/content changes).
Yes — included, no separate tier. Custom Components extension lets you register your own RN components in the canvas palette. Bundled into the EAS Build.
Yes — included, no separate tier. Your binary, your app name, your icon, your bundle ID. No "Powered by Aeion" anywhere.
Indistinguishable for typical apps. For graphics-heavy or AR/VR experiences, true-native + Metal/Vulkan may have edge. Mobile Builder targets 95% of B2C/B2B apps that don't need that.
Stripe Checkout is the default monetization path (server-priced, no App Store/Play Store IAP review, works with Expo Go + OTA). For native subscriptions/IAP through the App Store and Play Store, RevenueCat integration is included — it requires a native EAS build, so it's not available in Expo Go preview. Subscription management built-in.
$79/mo flat covers every team — white-label, custom components, and advanced analytics are all included. Unlimited apps, unlimited users, no per-app limits.
Offline Sync component + WatermelonDB. Mark collections as offline-available. Configurable sync strategies. Tested with apps that work fully offline for 24+ hours.
Yes. Universal links + custom URL schemes. Route any URL to any app screen. Deferred deep linking (link from web → install app → still route to right screen).
Aeion handles binary + submission. ASO (keywords, screenshots, video) is your marketing work — same as any app.
