Cross-Platform vs Native App Development

CROSS-PLATFORM VS NATIVE APP DEVELOPMENT CROSS-PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT NATIVE DEVELOPMENT What It Means Apps are designed to be compatible with multiple platforms/OS Apps are developed exclusively for a specific platform OS Pros A common codebase helps save time and money Apps take full advantage of their destination ecosystem for better performance This also means faster app deployment and bug fixes Tighter integration with a platform's overall design language leads to a better user experience Availability on multiple platforms widens market reach Cons Building and maintaining different codebases for each OS is expensive and time-consuming Lack of platform-specific optimizations may cause performance Issues Providing a solid user experience across all platforms can be difficult Market reach is comparatively limited if an app is available on only one platform INTAGLEO systems www.intagleo.com
