One of the first and most consequential app decisions is native versus cross-platform. Both are valid; the right answer depends on your priorities.
Native
Separate iOS and Android codebases give the best performance and immediate access to new platform features — at the cost of building and maintaining two apps.
Cross-platform
- One codebase (Flutter or React Native) for both platforms
- Faster time to market and lower cost
- Near-native performance for most apps
- Ideal for MVPs and content- or form-driven apps
For most business apps we recommend cross-platform; we reach for native when performance or deep hardware integration demands it.
