• →Your budget: from ~$50/month (Vajro) to $2,000+/month (Venn Apps). Watch for success fees that add up
• →Self-service vs managed: do you want to manage the app yourself (Tapcart, Shopney) or delegate (ConvertNative, Venn Apps, MobiLoud)?
• →Your market: if you're European, GDPR compliance and support in your language matter
• →Your mobile maturity: first app test → Vajro/Shopney. Strategic channel → Tapcart/ConvertNative/Venn Apps
