Looking for a Median.co Alternative?
Median.co (formerly GoNative) requires a developer and starts at $790 + $490/year per app. AppsCart is 100% no-code, starts at $39/mo, and gets you a working app preview in under 5 minutes.
Why people look for a Median.co alternative
Median's JavaScript bridge gives developers control — but that's exactly the problem for most businesses. Configuring native plugins, debugging the JS bridge, and managing SDK updates require ongoing developer time. AppsCart is genuinely no-code.
Median's self-serve licence costs $790 per app as a one-time fee, then $490/year for updates. For a managed service, it starts at $7,200/year. AppsCart starts at $39/mo with no upfront fee.
Median integrations for Firebase, OneSignal, and Adjust require developer-level configuration. AppsCart connects to GA4, Firebase, and OneSignal through a dashboard toggle — no code.
Median is positioned as a developer tool. If you don't have in-house developers, setup takes significant time and often requires hiring. AppsCart gets you a live preview without any technical knowledge.
