Native , Hybrid and web app difference

Comparison among Native Hybrid and Web Apps

Comparison among Native, Hybrid and Web App Development
NATIVEHYBRIDWEB
DEVELOPMENT COSTUsually higher than hybrid or web, if apps are developed for multiple platformsCommonly low cost, but require high skills for hybrid toolsThe lowest cost due to a single code base
PERFORMANCENative code has wide access to device functionality, while content, structure and visual elements are also stored in device memory ready for instant use.Apps content is only a wrapper on the user device while most of the data should be loaded from a server.Performance is inextricably linked due to browser work and network connection
DISTRIBUTIONApp stores allow some of the marketing benefits (such as rankings and feature placements) while they have their own requirements and restrictionsApp stores allow some of the marketing benefits (such as rankings and feature placements) while they have their own requirements and restrictionsThere are no store restriction to launch, but there is also no app store benefits
MONETIZATIONBoth apps may content in-app purchases, ads, and app purchase itself. However, app stores take a fee (around 30%) from all purchase actions, also there is an initial fee to deploy an app in the app storeBoth apps may content in-app purchases, ads, and app purchase itself. However, app stores take a fee (around 30%) from all purchase actions, also there is an initial fee to deploy an app in the app storeMonetization may be mostly provided via advertisements or subscriptions.
TRENDSAccording to Flurry analysis, users spend up to 86% of their mobile time using native or hybrid apps (still 54% if exceeding games from rating)According to Flurry analysis, users spend up to 86% of their mobile time using native or hybrid apps (still 54% if exceeding games from rating)Only up to 14% of time users spend on mobile websites
DEVICE FEATURESNative platform code has wide access to any device APIsSome APIs benefits are close to hybrid apps, however, there are still some that can be used of low-level features (such as gyroscope or accelerometer)Only some of device APIs may be used (such as geolocation)
USER INTERFACEApps developed with highly familiar and original UI to native OSEven best apps can’t give to a user fully native experience due to cross-platform UI and UX design, but meanwhile, they can achieve a fair native lookEven best apps can’t give to a user fully native experience due to cross-platform UI and UX design, but meanwhile, they can achieve a fair native look
CODE PORTABILITYCommonly code for one platform can’t be used for anotherMost of hybrid codebase tools can be ported to major platformsBrowser and performance is only a case
MAINTENANCE / UPDATEMaintenance of app will be as much higher, as much platforms it is developed forAs far as there is only one codebase to be maintained or updated all actions are much easier and fastAs far as there is only one codebase to be maintained or updated all actions are much easier and fast
RECOMMENDED FORApplications that will be developed for single platforms, apps with wide requirements due to capabilities of hybrid or web, Anything that requires highly optimization level for stable work, apps that need best native UI or best graphics animationApplications that need to be distributed as multi-platform, Those apps that will be developed for App StoresApplications with limited funds, resources or terms, Apps that do not require App Stores, Developed with HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc
