Do you want to build your first app? Perhaps you want to create an app business (such as a dating app). Or you want to create an app for your business (like a loyalty app for your customers). Either way, you won’t have to spend years in computer science classes to do this. There are great app builders that allow you, with no previous experience, to create your own app!
Two of those app buiilders are Appy Pie and GoodBarber. I want to tell you which areas each excels, and then I’ll make my recommendation.
So to begin, I’ll give you an overview of my findings. Then I’ll go into further detail.
Advantages of AppyPie
- More affordable
- Has an AI generator tool to help you create your own app
- Will distribute your app to more platforms
Advantages of GoodBarber
- More affordable if you want to create lots of apps per month

Use of AI
If you have no experience creating an app, then having being able to use AI to create your app is extremely appealing. We talked about how Appy Pie’s AI app tools here.
And while GoodBarber has an AI assistant to help you through the process, that’s not quite the same thing as having AI app generator tools.
Winner: Appy Pie

Conclusion
So as you can see, AppyPie is best if you want an affordable option and you don’t see yourself creating lots of app each month. It’s also best if you want AI to create your app for you.
GoodBarber is really only best if you want to create lots of apps.
