GoodBarber

What GoodBarber does

GoodBarber is a no-code platform founded in 2011 that enables non-technical users to create native iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) without writing code. Headquartered in Ajaccio, Corsica, France, with 11-50 employees, the company serves a horizontal customer base that spans content publishers, media outlets, e-commerce and local businesses, restaurants, schools, nonprofits, event organizers, and agencies. Its positioning emphasizes design quality, ease of use, and the ability for users to publish under their own Apple and Google developer accounts rather than surrendering ownership of app assets.

The platform's core technology generates truly native iOS apps compiled in Swift and native Android apps compiled in Kotlin, distinguishing it from competitors that rely on WebView wrappers. PWAs are built using Angular JS 4.0. The offering is augmented by a proprietary Design System, 80+ ready-made themes, and an Extensions Store with 190+ pre-built integrations covering payments (Stripe, Apple Pay, 22 gateways total), CMS (WordPress, Squarespace, RSS), media (YouTube, Spotify), and automation (Zapier). Recent additions include an AI Assistant and RAG Chatbot powered by OpenAI, an AI-assisted design tool (Genius Palette), and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for developer workflows.

GoodBarber monetizes primarily through an annual SaaS subscription ranging from €360/year (entry tier) to €660/year (full native iOS and Android output), inclusive of hosting, CMS, push notifications, and analytics with 0% commission on revenue generated through apps. Go-to-market is product-led via a 30-day free trial with no credit card requirement, supplemented by a reseller program for agencies and freelancers, a GoodBarber Takes Care (GBTC) managed publishing service for App Store and Google Play submission, and a custom development service for bespoke enterprise builds. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds.
