### Overview

MangoApps offers two options for distributing and branding your mobile Employee App. Both options provide the same core functionality, but they differ in terms of branding flexibility and distribution methods.

### MangoApps Listed Mobile App (Free)

The **MangoApps Listed Mobile App** option offers a company app that is publicly available and can be downloaded for free from both the **Apple App Store** and **Google Play Store**.&#x20;

Before logging in, the app will display the MangoApps logo as its icon. However, after login, the icon changes to reflect the company's branded logo, offering a personalized experience.&#x20;

Inside the app, the mobile interface is branded similarly to the web version, and branding can be tailored to different user segments.

### Custom Unlisted Mobile App (Add-On)

On the other hand, the **Custom Unlisted Mobile App** is an add-on option available for distribution via your organization's **Mobile Device Management (MDM)** system or through **direct links**, such as QR codes, emails, or SMS, for both **Apple** and **Google Play** stores. The app is **not** searchable in public stores, ensuring that only employees can download it.&#x20;

The **app name** is **fully customizable** to the company's preferred branded name, and the **app icon** **always** displays the customer's branded logo, both before and after login. Additional branding options include a **branded login screen**, **splash screen**, and a mobile experience that aligns with the web interface. User segment-based branding is also available. There is an additional fee for this option.
