Visit Ionic

Ionic is an enterprise app platform for building and delivering mobile, web, and desktop applications from a single codebase using web standards. It addresses the need to create cross-platform apps for iOS, Android, and the Web while supporting secure delivery and integration of web experiences into existing native applications.

The platform includes an open-source mobile SDK with Capacitor, a CLI for building and testing, a cross-platform native bridge, and integrations for React, Angular, and Vue. Ionic Appflow provides mobile CI/CD with Live Updates, Native Builds, App Publishing, and a Cloud CLI. Portals enables mobile micro frontends for embedding web experiences in iOS and Android apps. Auth Connect integrates with OAuth and OpenID Connect providers, including Auth0, AWS Cognito, and Azure Active Directory, handling login, logout, and token refresh with native system components.

Ionic is aimed at developers and enterprise teams building mobile experiences. The mobile SDK is open source, while Appflow, Portals, and Auth Connect are commercial products. The pages do not specify plan tiers, trials, or pricing models.
