- Hybrid apps are the ones which are developed to be used across many mobile platforms. i.e., the app can be installed and run on iPhones as well as an Android phones. The ubiquity though, comes at a price. With the compromise of catering to different platforms, the performance and user experience takes a hit. Thus, it’s a high probability that users may not be fond of the app after some time.
- The Native apps, on the other hand, are designed to be installed and used specifically for one platform. Thus, for iPhone users, the app would run only on iPhones. The biggest advantage is the superior user experience and increase in performance. With the increase in positive response, it’s the Native app that is the better of the two.
