Cost
Hybrid: 1 team, 1 code, both stores. Native: 2 teams, 2x cost + 2x bugs.
Native means separate Swift (iPhone) + Kotlin (Android) apps — best raw speed, double cost/time. Hybrid (React Native/Expo) means one codebase for both — 40% cheaper, perfectly smooth for shops, booking, education, field apps.
As 13-yr dev shipping both: 90% Tamil SMBs win with hybrid. Only heavy 3D games / Bluetooth hardware need full native. I build hybrid default, native module where needed — best of both.
Who is this for?
- Shops, clinics, classes (hybrid wins)
- Startups needing MVP fast
- Field teams (offline hybrid)
- Games / BLE hardware (native)
- Anyone confused by agency jargon

Questions owners ask me
Is hybrid slow?
No for business apps — list, images, video, payments run 60fps. Slowness comes from bad code, not hybrid.
Will Apple reject hybrid?
No — React Native/Expo apps pass App Store daily. Mine are live.
When must I pick native?
Hardcore 3D, video editing, BLE hardware SDKs. I tell upfront if you are that 10%.
Can we switch later?
Yes — hybrid screens can embed native code gradually. No rewrite needed.
