Pricing<\/h2>\n

If you are interested in making mobile apps with ShoutEm, take note that\u00a0while you can avail of their free trial, to continue the service you will have to subscribe to a plan. They have different tiers\u00a0to choose from, based on what you need; and you can either pay month to month, or prepay for an annual subscription.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n

Their Basic plan, for starters, gives you the ability to build an HTML5 app only. If you want to be able to put your app up on Apple’s or Google’s respective app stores, you will have to at least get the Advanced plan. This plan also gives you access to push notifications.\u00a0If you want to get access to the features of the previous two plans plus the ability to create an iPad app, as well as access their API and data sync features, the Unlimited plan\u00a0is what you need.<\/p>\n

Finally, if you want to get access to custom content modules, custom page layouts, CMS (Content Management System) integration, on-site staff training, and a dedicated support person, ShoutEm has something called\u00a0the Enterprise plan, which has no set subscription fee. You will\u00a0have to contact ShoutEm first to get a price quote.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Optional Services<\/h2>\n

Beyond their subscription plans, ShoutEm also offers two optional packages that are geared towards those who would rather have professionals build their app for them. The first option, the Professional Setup, costs $950. For that much money, the company will build your app for you, complete with a round of design made by their designers. Beyond that, they will also\u00a0manually\u00a0import your content, whether it be from third party API, or video streaming sites like YouTube or Vimeo.<\/p>\n

If you need a bit more meat, the Enterprise Setup might be right up your alley. It offers all the benefits of the Professional Setup, plus an hour of training via web conference, 12 hours’ worth of importing your content and setting up custom modules, and guaranteed support response time for 4 hours. In addition to these, you also have the option to buy more designer or developer hours if you need more work to be done. All of these will set you back a hefty $2,900. For most people, the\u00a0cost might be too steep;\u00a0but this is more suited to large companies or, as the name suggests, enterprises.<\/p>\n

Reseller Program<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, if you want to utilize the power of ShoutEm’s platform to build apps for your clients, they also provide a stellar White Label Reseller Program. Through this program, you will get access to a\u00a0bevy of outstanding features that can help establish and elevate your personal brand in the app developer world. For instance, the program will give you the power to provide your customers your very own branded dashboard hosted on your own domain, and you can even give your clients secure accounts so they can easily and conveniently manage their app–from moderating content to sending push notifications and beyond.<\/p>\n

Flexibility and Ease of Use<\/h2>\n

While this DIY app maker company offers a ton of really great features, one of the best things about ShoutEm is the sheer flexibility offered by their platform, which allows companies of all shapes and sizes to build an app that is uniquely suited to the nature of their business. You can, for instance, create a loyalty app for your retail shop, an app to complement your blog, an app to promote your events, and many more.<\/p>\n

All of this is made possible by ShoutEm’s easy to use app designer tool. Their tool, like all great DIY app maker platforms, utilizes a drag-and-drop interface that anyone can quickly pick up and learn. Their editor tool also allows you to easily preview your work without having to go through the process of compiling it just to be able to see it. The best part about building apps using ShoutEm’s designer tool\u00a0is that you do not need any coding or design skills whatsoever in order to build a stunning and fully functional app from the ground up\u2013it is that simple.<\/p>\n

CMS Functionality<\/h2>\n

Another notable feature of ShoutEm’s platform is a powerful CMS that allows you to import content from various sources\u2013such as WordPress, Foursquare, Pocket, Facebook, and more. Of course, you can also create your own content. You can, for instance, create a mobile eCommerce app (thanks to a Shopify integration feature); create an event app; or embed into your app directions, menu, operating hours, deals, and other important information about your business.\u00a0You can also\u00a0create a bustling community (complete with activity feeds, checkins, status updates, comments, and the like), organize your content into catalogs, and even enhance your app with location-based features.<\/p>\n

Monetization<\/h2>\n

ShoutEm also offers built-in analytics and monetization features. The former allows you to analyze how your users interact with\u00a0your app so you can get a better idea on how to optimize and improve upon your app’s services in the future, while the latter allows you to recoup your initial investment by turning your app into a money-making machine with the help of various mobile ad networks.<\/p>\n

More Features Needed<\/h2>\n

One small gripe is that ShoutEm lacks some features that have long been standard in other platforms, such as in-app subscriptions and multi-language support. That said, it seems that they are committed to continuously improve their offerings\u2013as evidenced by their most recent feature additions.<\/p>\n

New Additions<\/h3>\n

For starters, users can now make use of scheduled push notifications, allowing you to set messages to be sent on a weekly or monthly basis. Next, segmented push notifications allow you to send out messages to specific users only\u2013giving you a way to effectively target them\u00a0better.<\/p>\n

They also made improvements to the Instagram integration feature, which now allow you to display unlimited photos in the stream. Meanwhile, their News and Events module has also undergone improvements. You can now highlight and pinpoint Events so the most important ones stay visible to all until you decide otherwise\u2013helping you promote special promos, events, and the like more effectively.<\/p>\n

DIY Code Customization<\/h3>\n

In terms of customization, ShoutEm now allows you to access and edit the CSS of apps, giving more freedom to tweak your app. They also added a client settings page that opens up more options, and composite pages, which allows you to create more complex app structures.<\/p>\n

Customer Support<\/h2>\n

As of this writing, you can only contact ShoutEm’s customer support by filling out an online contact form; phone, live chat, or direct email options are currently non-existent. However, do\u00a0take note that if you are subscribed to their higher tier reseller plans, do get premium phone support thrown in. All resellers, meanwhile, also get priority email support, while Enterprise subscribers get\u00a0dedicated support person assigned to their account.<\/p>\n

While that may be good news for resellers only, the fantastic thing about ShoutEm\u00a0is their dedication to providing unparalleled response times for any and all customer queries–regardless of which plan or program you go with. As such, expect your questions to be answered by their team\u00a0within 24 hours.\u00a0\u00a0Finally, another thing worth noting is that\u00a0they do offer a robust Support Center that features\u00a0a great deal\u00a0of articles that can easily get you up and running in no time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
