Difference Between Native App Development and Hybrid App Development

Native app & Hybrid app are developed for different specific devices.

A native app is a program that has been coded in a specific programming language, for devices having specific Operating system. The advantage of choosing a native app is that it is the fastest and most reliable when it comes to user experience. They have access to various phones functions such as camera, gallery, contact list etc. Mostly Native apps are compiled into machine code. These provisions help native apps perform the best in a mobile device. 

The native mobile app development is easy and there are myriad resources available. Since the code has to be written specifically for each platform, it has to be rewritten for each one. The language, APIs and the development process is different and the process becomes quite long for complex applications. 

The main features of a native app are: 

 High degree of reliability 

 Simple but Fast Performance 

 Better user experience 

 Supports both online & offline transactions 

 Better user experience than Hybrid apps 

 Runs smoothly since the codes are specific 

 Data protection and security since the codes are specific 

A hybrid app combines elements of both native and web applications. Hybrid apps can be distributed through the app stores just like a native app. Hybrid apps can also use the cross-compatible web technologies and are typically easier and faster to maintain. They require less maintenance, however, their speed of usage depends upon the browser. Hybrid apps are built on a single base. 

The main features of a typical hybrid app are: 

 Faster app development 

 Simple and easy to maintain 

 Decreased Cost of Development 

 Cross platform UI 

 Integrate with device file system 

 Less expensive app development and cost effective maintenance 

 Single code management for multiple mobile platforms 

 Economical Costing and Time
