2. Mobile App Development
Companies often turn to us for help in developing their
own mobile application. However, the first question is:
"Are you interested in a native or hybrid application?"
leads them into a stupor.
Let’s understand today what a native and hybrid
application is, what are their main differences, and what
your business will need.

5. Native App
Development
The process to develop apps or software
that need to be operated on specific
devices and mobile app platforms such as
Android and iOS.
With native app development, developers
rely on the native-to-the-operating-system
programming language to craft apps that fit
one particular platform- may it be
desktops, smart TVs, smartphones, or any
other advanced gadgets being used in the
digital space.

6. Native Apps
Development
Benefits of
Due to its high
development speed and
cost-effective nature,
native applications are
preferred by startups.
High Speed
These apps are compiled with core
programming languages and APIs
which makes native apps more
efficient.
Utmost Performance
Since native apps are built for a
specific OS, they adhere to the
guidelines which ensure an improved
experience that perfectly aligns with a
particular operating system in all
terms.
More Intuitive & Interactive
This offline support
functionality in native apps
is essential for app users
residing in low internet
connectivity areas, staying
in remote areas, or have got
limited data availability.
Offline Functionality
Since native apps have one
codebase and don’t rely on
cross-platform tools, they
come up with minimal
occurrence of bugs.
Minimized Scope of Bugs
Native app development relies on
different browsers and technologies
like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS and
ensures thorough data protection on
the user’s end.
Enhanced Security

7. Since native mobile
apps are language-
specific, it becomes
challenging to find
developers who can
develop native apps
back-to-back.
Needs More Skills and
Talent
If native apps are to be
built for iOS and Android
separately, you’ll have to
do the coding part and
develop the apps for both
the mobile operating
systems.
No Code Reusability
Native app development
comes up with heavy
maintenance costs which
is even more than the
actual development
costs.
High Maintenance
Cons of Native App Development

8. Businesses into 3D games and animations.
Need to code specifically for one platform.
Need to add device-specific functionalities like GPS,
camera, and so on.
Your target audience will be using your app for
the first time and you plan to impress them with
the best possible app experience.
You are planning to grab a wide base of DAUs
and target VC investors for product funding
and develop an easy-to-learn yet intuitive app.

Hybrid App
Development

11. Benefits of Hybrid Apps
Hybrid application
development has a
lightweight hybrid app UI
that enables super-fast
loading of graphics and
content.
Improved UI/UX
A hybrid app development
framework is the ideal
choice to go for as it
enables rapid development
and launch of the app in the
market comparatively at an
early stage.
Rapid Time to
Market
Since the hybrid apps are
solely based on web technology,
it is simple to maintain hybrid
apps as compared to native and
cross-platform apps that have
complex coding.
Easy Maintenance
Hybrid app development frameworks
enable developers to develop a
single version and utilize the
same for multiple platforms.
Minimized Cost Backed
with Ease of
Development

12. Functionality Limitations
There are features that are specific to a
particular operating system that don’t work
perfectly on other systems, like some
Android-specific functionalities might not
work on iOS devices.
Slow Performance
If you compare the performance of a native
app with a hybrid app, both having the same
functionalities, then the performance of
the native app will be slightly faster.
No Offline Support
Hybrid applications don’t offer offline
support like native apps. Users need to
wait for an Internet connection to access
the app’s functionalities.

You are targeting a broader
audience that uses the app
on web and mobile devices.
You wish to avail the
device’s native features
like GPS, camera, and so
on.
You plan to distribute a
web app throughout app
stores.
Minimum Viable Product
(MVP) for testing the project
idea.
Planning to operate the app
seamlessly across different
platforms and don’t have
sufficient time to build a
cross-platform solution.

Cross Platform
App
Cross-platform frameworks operate on the agenda to develop
shareable and reusable code for building apps for different OS.
Writing code once and reusing the same on multiple platforms
helps in minimizing the development costs and efforts.

Benefits of Cross-platform Apps
Hassle-free & Rapid Development
This is where a cross-platform app
development framework gains a competitive
edge over other alternatives.
Great Product Maintenance
As there is only one codebase, it becomes
quite easy to test and deploy fixes and
upgrades and experience higher accuracy
and superior quality mobile applications.
Reduced Cost
Cross-platform app development framework
holds the potential of supporting all
sorts of platforms and ensures wider
market reach at a global level with
increased brand popularity of startup
businesses that seek rapid traction in the
market.
Code Reusability
When it comes to cross-platform apps,
developers need not write unique code
every time for each operating system. A
common codebase can be used for
transferring code to different platforms.
Cross-
platform App
Development

17. Difficult integrations
Less flexibility
Long wait for update integration
Complicated development lifecycle
There is the other side of the coin
too because cross-platform app
development poses its own share of
challenges ranging from UI/UX
problems to speed issues.

You have to release a mobile
application on different platforms
with limited budget, time, and
resources.
When to Consider Building a Cross-platform App?
You need to target iOS and Android
apps users both.
You need faster app development.
The app isn’t complex and doesn’t
need functionalities which vary much
between the platforms.
