Mobile vs Web Apps: What Should You Build?

Mobile vs Web Apps: What Should You Build?

The Billion Dollar Question

"Should we build an App or a Website?" It's the first question every startup founder asks. The answer isn't "Yes"; it's "Which one first?"

The Case for Web (PWA)

  • Reach: Accessible by anyone with a URL.
  • Cost: Single codebase for desktop and mobile.
  • Speed: Updates are instant. No app store approval queues.

The Case for Native (iOS/Android)

  • Power: Direct access to GPS, Bluetooth, and Camera.
  • Habit: Push notifications drive daily retention.
  • Prestige: Being on the App Store signals legitimacy.

Arvency's Approach

We don't force you into a technology because it's what we know. We analyze your business model.

  • Do you need SEO? We build a Next.js Web App.
  • Do you need offline field functionality? We build a React Native Mobile App.

Why choose? Many of our clients start with a Web App and scale to Mobile. Contact us to map out your product roadmap.
