Every technical person’s first thought is, “Which platform should I use for my mobile application project?”
Several factors can simplify our decision. Hybrid or native?
But first, let’s look at the advantages of hybrid over native and native over hybrid.
Hybrid over Native:
- Can use a single codebase to run on several platforms, including Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, and the Web.
- Quicker time to development
- Reduced expenses for development and upkeep
Native over Hybrid:
- Enhanced user interface and improved performance
- Access to hardware and features unique to a device
- More safety
Each has their own pros and cons. To make it easier for you to choose, we have listed the differences below.
When to Pick a Hybrid:
- If you’re on a tight budget or time schedule
- If using a single codebase to reach a larger audience is your goal
- If you’re trying to find an easy and affordable fix.
When to Pick a Native:
- If you wish to offer a top-notch user experience
- If you require access to hardware and features unique to a device
- If you’re prepared to spend money on developing each platform separately.
In summary, if you have a limited budget and wish to target multiple platforms without hiring multiple developers or maintaining separate code bases, then go for hybrid. If user experience, security, and device-specific features are important to you, then go for native.
