Making the Right Choice
Native vs Cross-Platform Development
Understanding the trade-offs to make the best decision for your business goals and budget
| Aspect | Native Development | Cross-Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Optimal performance with direct access to device APIs and hardware | Near-native performance, sufficient for most applications |
| Development Cost | Higher cost - separate codebases for iOS and Android | Lower cost - single codebase for both platforms |
| Time to Market | 6-12 months for both platforms | 3-6 months for both platforms |
| User Experience | Platform-specific UI follows iOS/Android design guidelines perfectly | Consistent UI across platforms, may not feel fully native |
| Access to Device Features | Immediate access to all new platform features and APIs | May require waiting for framework updates or custom modules |
| Maintenance | Updates required for each platform separately | Single codebase simplifies updates and bug fixes |
| Team Requirements | Separate iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) developers needed | Single team with React Native or Flutter expertise |
| App Size | Smaller app size, Optimised for each platform | Larger app size due to framework overhead |
Choose Native When...
Performance-Critical Applications
Gaming, AR/VR, video editing, or apps requiring intensive graphics and animations
Platform-Specific Features
Apps heavily relying on latest iOS/Android features like widgets, Siri/Google Assistant integration
Complex User Interfaces
Apps with intricate animations, custom UI components, or platform-specific design patterns
Large Enterprises
organisations with dedicated iOS and Android teams and substantial budgets
Choose Cross-Platform When...
Faster Time to Market
Startups and businesses needing to launch quickly on both platforms simultaneously
Budget Constraints
Projects with limited budgets that need to reach both iOS and Android users
Content & E-Commerce Apps
Apps focused on content delivery, social features, or e-commerce without heavy graphics
MVP Development
Testing market fit with a minimum viable product before committing to native development
Not Sure Which to Choose?
Our team can help you evaluate your specific requirements, budget, and timeline to recommend the best approach for your mobile app project. Many successful apps start with cross-platform for speed to market, then migrate critical features to native as they scale.

Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Get answers to common questions about mobile app development, platforms, and costs
Should I build a native app or a cross-platform app?
Native apps (separate iOS and Android) offer the best performance and access to all platform features, but cost more and take longer to develop. Cross-platform apps (React Native/Flutter) are more cost-effective and faster to build, with a single codebase for both platforms. We recommend native for apps requiring maximum performance or complex device integrations, and cross-platform for MVPs or when budget and time are priorities.
How long does it take to develop a mobile app?
Development time varies by complexity. A simple app with basic features takes 2-3 months. Medium complexity apps with custom features and integrations take 4-6 months. Complex apps with advanced functionality like real-time features, payments, or AI take 6-12+ months. We provide detailed timelines during the planning phase.
How much does mobile app development cost?
Costs depend on complexity, features, and platform choice. Simple apps start from $15,000-$40,000. Medium complexity apps range from $40,000-$100,000. Complex enterprise apps can exceed $150,000. Cross-platform development is typically 30-40% less expensive than building separate native apps. We provide detailed estimates after understanding your requirements.
Do you help with app store submission and approval?
Yes, we handle the entire app store submission process for both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This includes creating store listings, screenshots, descriptions, compliance with guidelines, and addressing any review feedback. We also provide guidance on App Store optimisation (ASO) to improve discoverability.
Can you integrate the app with our existing backend systems?
Absolutely. We can integrate your mobile app with existing REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, databases, CRM systems, payment gateways, and third-party services. If you don't have a backend, we can build one for you using technologies like Node.js, Firebase, or AWS Amplify.
Will the app work offline?
Yes, we can implement offline functionality depending on your requirements. This includes local data storage, offline-first architecture, and automatic sync when connectivity is restored. This is particularly valuable for apps used in areas with poor connectivity or for features that need to work without internet.
How do you ensure app security?
Security is built into every layer. We implement secure data storage, encryption for sensitive data, secure API communication (HTTPS/SSL), biometric authentication, code obfuscation, and follow OWASP mobile security guidelines. For financial or healthcare apps, we ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations.
Do you provide post-launch support and maintenance?
Yes, we offer ongoing support and maintenance plans that include bug fixes, OS updates compatibility, performance monitoring, feature enhancements, and analytics tracking. Mobile apps require regular updates to maintain compatibility with new iOS and Android versions released annually.
