Feature Differances Between Mobile Suite and Forum Runner Ad ons?

[Frank Davis]

Trying to find out the exact differances between these two available ad ons "Mobile Suite" and "Forum Runner" please advise?

[Wayne Luke]

The Mobile Suite is branded to your site (logo, color, ads) and has Android and iOS Apps. You publish and determine the cost of the Apps. You can submit your Apps to alternative stores like Amazon's App Store or Cydia.

The Forum Runner Addon included in vBulletin uses a common App for all forums in the program. You can't customize it. The App end users download costs $1.99. Though you can purchase a version of Forum Runner that is a branded app as well. It is more expensive than the Mobile Suite.

The Mobile Suite you need to compile and upload apps to the Google and Apple App Stores, this is made easy with a tool in our Member's Area, but it is still your responsibility to have developer accounts and jump through the hoops Apple lays out for you.

ForumRunner is more hands off- you pay more but you don't worry about getting your app into the app stores, don't worry about needing a Mac computer to sign the app, or any of that.
