PROS & CONS OF A NATIVE MOBILE APP
| Native | Hybrid | |
| Number of platforms | one | many (iOS, Android, Web) |
| App development cost | initially higher (if an app is created for a few platforms) | from moderate to low |
| Performance | fast | moderate |
| Maintenance | easy – support 1 platform | average – support of multiple platforms simultaneously |
Is native or hybrid app better?
The advantage of hybrid apps is that they are typically easier and faster to develop than native apps. They also require less maintenance. However, the speed of your hybrid app will depend entirely on the speed of the user's browser. Ultimately this means hybrid apps will almost never perform as fast as a native app.
What are the advantages of native apps over hybrid apps?
Native apps are better than hybrid apps because they provide features reserved exclusively for the OS(operating system) and their execution time (runtime) and responsiveness (runtime) is superior than hybrid apps. A major advantage of native applications is that they provide the best user experience and performance.
