Memberside vs AppPresser

AppPresser builds a hybrid app: list screens read your site over its API, and other pages are your website inside the app. Memberside draws its screens natively in Flutter and reads Ultimate Member, which AppPresser does not list. Here is how the two compare, from each company’s own pages.

Which one fits

Two good answers to different questions

Neither is the right choice for every site. This is the situation each one suits, before the detail.

Pick Memberside if

your site runs Ultimate Member, BuddyPress or the other plugins on our list, and you want native screens you arrange yourself.

You design it yourself on a drag-and-drop canvas, and every screen compiles to a Flutter widget, or its team sets it up and submits it as a paid service. Pages it has no screen for open as web pages inside the app.

Pick AppPresser if

you run LearnDash, BuddyPress or WooCommerce, want store submission handled for you, and want offline pages.

You build it in a customizer; they submit it to the stores. A hybrid app: list screens read your site over its API, and other pages are your website shown inside the app.

The difference

Where each one is ahead

Every row of the comparison where one product's answer is stronger than the other's. A row either company leaves unpublished counts for neither.

  • Ultimate Member — Plus 24 extensions[2]
  • In-app purchases — Grants a member role or a WooCommerce product[6]

Where AppPresser is ahead

  • Store submission done for you — In your own accounts[9]

Cost

What one app costs

The first year, and three years with any renewal increase, from each pricing page.

Year one
  • Memberside Pro$490
  • AppPresser Standard$708
Three years
  • Memberside Pro$1,470
  • AppPresser Standard$2,124
Memberside Pro:
$490 a year, billed yearly ($49 a month otherwise). No renewal increase is published. Pro covers five apps; on Free, iOS builds need a build pack.[1]
AppPresser Standard:
$59 a month billed yearly, which waives the $199 setup fee ($79 a month plus setup otherwise). No renewal increase is published.[9]

One app on both stores, on the cheapest plan that does it, billed yearly where that is offered. Store fees (Apple $99 a year, Google $25 once) are the same for everyone and left out.

Moving over

Your site stays as it is

Memberside reads the plugins you already run, so nothing is migrated and members keep their accounts.

  1. Step 1

    Install the Memberside plugin

    On your WordPress site. It reads your plugins for the app and adds nothing to your pages.
  2. Step 2

    Start from a layout

    Pick one of the starting layouts. It fills its screens from the plugins your site runs, and you arrange the rest on the canvas.
  3. Step 3

    Build and try it

    Put the build on your own phone, then ship it from your own Apple and Google accounts.

Questions

Moving from AppPresser

Yes. Ultimate Member is what Memberside was built around: member directories, profiles, account settings and its extensions, such as followers, friends, groups and private messages, each as a native screen. Ultimate Member is not on AppPresser’s list of supported plugins.

Yes. The Memberside plugin reads them from your site, so nothing is migrated or entered twice. Members sign in with the accounts they already have.

You upload it from your own Apple and Google developer accounts, with the listing, review notes and screenshots prepared for you. If you would rather not, our team submits it from your accounts as a paid service. AppPresser includes submission on every plan, and that is one thing it does that Memberside charges for.

Yes. Memberside’s Free plan builds a real Android app with three builds a month and no time limit. iOS builds come with Pro, or with any build pack on Free. AppPresser offers a 14-day trial rather than a free plan.
