What is The Difference between a Native Mobile App vs a Web App?


A native mobile app is a mobile application that is coded in a specific programming language, such as Java or C++ for Android apps, Swift or Objective-C for iOS apps, and C# for Windows Phone apps. Native mobile apps are faster in performance and a high degree of reliability and also have access to a phone's various devices, such as its camera and address book. Native mobile apps can be downloaded from app stores and are designed to work with a particular mobile operating system.

Benefits of Native Apps:

App Usage Speed
Offline Access and Updates
Higher Security
Native App Developer Tool Availability

Downsides of Native Apps:

Native apps are more expensive to build than web apps
Compatibility with multiple platforms
High Cost to Maintain
App Approvals



What is a Web App?

A web app is a software program that runs on a web server, rather than on the user's device. It is accessed via a web browser or a mobile app and can perform a wide variety of tasks, such as data entry, calculations, interactive features and other functions. Web apps are often used to provide dynamic content, such as news articles, content management systems, customer relationship management (CRM) systems and more. Web apps are accessed over the internet through a web browser, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Examples of web apps include Google Docs, Gmail, and online banking services.

Benefits of Web App :

Build Speed
Easy to maintain
No Download Barrier to Entry
Quick Launch

Downsides of Web Apps :

Browser Access
App Speed
Discoverability
Security and Quality Concerns
