What Apptile does

Apptile is an AI-native no-code mobile commerce platform that enables Shopify merchants to build, publish, and operate custom iOS and Android apps without traditional development timelines or costs. The platform is built on React Native and centered on a proprietary Tile SDK architecture that pairs a drag-and-drop visual App Studio with a developer-extensible code layer, allowing both non-technical merchants and agencies to assemble apps from 100+ production-ready tiles and 10+ industry-specific themes. AI is embedded throughout the workflow via Tile AI for generative design, a named suite of AI Agents (Design, Architect, Tile, Integration, Verification, Growth), Face AI for beauty personalization, AI Push Notifications, Smart Copy generation, and AI Popclips for live-stream highlight creation. Capabilities span text, image, video, and multimodal AI modalities and include multi-stream Live Selling, OTA updates without app store re-submission, and Advanced Analytics.

The business model combines a freemium entry point with a tiered subscription structure: Core is free with a 5% transaction commission, Pro is $200/month with 0% commission, Plus is $500/month, and Enterprise starts at $1,000+/month with dedicated account management and design support. Premium themes and premium integrations are sold separately on top of base subscriptions. The company serves a hybrid customer base that spans SMB Shopify merchants (Homecooks, Pet Republic, Sweet Freedom, Urban Threadz), Shopify Plus enterprise brands (Tupperware, Harney & Sons Fine Teas, Monos, Kimirica), agencies managing multiple client apps, and emerging verticals such as beauty/skincare and creator commerce. Distribution is anchored on the Shopify App Store marketplace, augmented by self-serve direct sales and an agency partner program, with a global footprint across Food & Beverage, Fashion, Beauty, Pet, and Home verticals. To date Apptile has raised approximately $3.7M in disclosed funding and operates with 11-50 employees out of Bellevue, Washington.
