What to compare
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does the maker add its own ads? | They earn from your users; you may not control placement |
| Is there a splash or watermark? | Looks unprofessional on Google Play |
| Can you download your signing key? | Needed to update the app if you ever move tools |
| Is an AAB provided? | Google Play requires it for new apps |
| Can you choose the package name? | It's your app's permanent ID |
Alternatives by use case
| You want | Alternative |

| HTML / HTML5 game as an offline app | HTML to APK |
| To learn by building logic | MIT App Inventor, Kodular |
| Full native app | Android Studio, Flutter |
Moving an existing app
If your app is already on Google Play, an update must keep the same package name and be signed by a key Google Play accepts for it. If you use Play App Signing, you can request an upload key reset; otherwise you need the original key. Sort this out before rebuilding elsewhere.
A quick test before choosing any free maker
- Build a throwaway app with a test URL or HTML file.
- Install it and open it five times — look for splash screens, banners, interstitials or rating prompts you didn't add.
- Check the APK size and permissions (Settings → Apps → your app → Permissions). Unexpected permissions are a red flag.
- Look for a way to download your signing key or confirm you can publish with Play App Signing.
- Read the maker's terms on who owns the app and its revenue.
Ten minutes of testing saves a painful migration once your app has users. Use the APK inspector to see what's inside the file you received.
