Why We Build Native Apps Over Cross-Platform

One of the most common questions we get is whether to build native or cross-platform apps. Here's our take.

Native apps (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) offer the best performance, full access to device features, and the smoothest user experience. When you need your app to feel premium and perform flawlessly, native is the way to go.

Cross-platform frameworks like React Native and Flutter have come a long way. They're great for MVPs, apps with simpler UI requirements, or when budget constraints require a single codebase.

Our approach: We recommend native for apps where performance and UX are critical, and cross-platform when speed-to-market and budget are the priority. Every project is different, and we help you choose the right path.
