It depends on your project goals. Native development is better for performance, scalability, and device-specific features. It's ideal for high-end apps needing a smooth UX. Cross-platform development is better for faster launches, lower costs, and broader audience reach using a single codebase.
Choose native if your app:
- Needs complex integrations (GPS, sensors)
- Prioritizes performance and UX
- Is platform-specific (iOS-only or Android-only)
It is expected to scale globally
Choose cross-platform if your:
- The budget is low
- The deadline is short
- Audience is on both iOS and Android
- The project is an MVP or a prototype
Yes. With one codebase and one development team, it significantly reduces development time and cost compared to native development.
Yes, especially with modern frameworks like Flutter. While native still leads in performance, many successful apps use cross-platform tech efficiently.
