PWA allows organizations to save time and money, since it is developed only once. Whereas a native application requires two separate developments: one for iOS, the other for Android. Another advantage of PWAs is that users don’t need to download all its content before getting access to it. Thus, they can access PWA content much faster, directly via a URL.

Native apps, mobile web, and hybrid apps are developed for different types of devices. For example, Android apps are written in Java; iPhone apps are written in Objective-C. A key advantage of a native app is that it is the fastest and most reliable when it comes to user experience.

Put simply, a web application is a web site that the user can control. Let’s use a restaurant example: When you make a reservation, view a customized menu, order food online, or purchase a gift card, this kind of interactivity is enabled by a web application. This dynamic interaction differentiates a web app from a website.

A well-designed mobile app can perform actions much quicker than a mobile website. Apps usually store data locally on mobile devices. In contrast, websites generally use web servers. For this reason, data retrieval happens more swiftly in mobile apps.
