Native App vs. Hybrid App-Performance is Difference

Developing a mobile app with desired features was a headache for the companies a few years back. Companies considered it as a routine task and app developers did not bother for giving knowledge to the companies about types like native, web-based and hybrid apps. It is fair to say that mobile app development was not a cup of tea for SMBs at that time.

As mobile technology advances and the number of smart devices’ users soars, companies feel the necessity of good mobile app with all necessary features in order to entice both their customers and people.

Nowadays, SMBs also take interest in developing customized apps. We can mention two major reasons for it: Firstly, having an app becomes more important, and secondly, an app development process becomes relatively cheap. But then, it is difficult to decide the type of an app.

Which app type is better?

It is not a new debate, but it seems that companies have started to take an interest in getting that knowledge prior to developing apps. They get confused particularly between native and hybrid apps. We want to assist companies to take the decision about the type through the blog.

Before starting a discussion about app types, let’s go through following questions:

• Do you want an app that performs well on a platform of your choice?
• Do you want an app that has built-in components with good functionality?
• Do you want an app that is easy-to-use and with multi-touch function and fluid animation?
• Do you want an app that can seamlessly run offline?

If your answer is ‘Yes’ for all these questions, then you need a native app. The notable difference between native and hybrid apps is performance- native apps have the best performance among all three types. But then, its development process is said to be costlier and more time-taking as compared to that in hybrid apps.

Another nail in the coffin is it is difficult to find native app developers, and without them, developing and modification process is far from easy for the companies.

Technology gives an answer

Today, mobile app development process is well within reach of companies. Thanks to technological advancement, even non-technical persons can also develop a company app with necessary features with ease and modify it as per changing business requirements.

Nowadays, companies can get benefits from innovative mobile app development platforms for making customized native apps. They can even modify native controls and features as per their requirements through such platforms. Not only that, but also, some of the most innovative native app development platforms offers preview feature as well for watching apps prior to deployment.

Most of the online development platforms offer end-to-end solutions for app development and cover all the aspects from development to deployment of native apps.
