Yes, of course, but they are totally different from one another. If that\u2019s the case, two questions will pop up in your mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"parent-list wp-block-list\"><li>How are they different from each other?<\/li><li>How will you choose between a native app and a progressive web app for your company?<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-52c6fe03 list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<p class=\"pb-1\">We listed some of the key points that will help you understand the difference between the two and choose the best out of them for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Native Mobile app?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>A native mobile app is a software program that is developed for use on a particular platform. Some of the popular examples are Instagram, WhatsApp, and Swiggy, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-470e0b6d list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Progressive web app?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>A progressive web app is a combination of the best of mobile and website. It uses a collection of technologies, design concept, and Web API\u2019s that works together to provide an app-like experience on the mobile web.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-2e79f502 list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<p class=\"pb-1\"><strong>Difference between Progressive web app and Native Mobile app<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Platform:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The native mobile apps are designed for specific platforms. They are developed for a particular platform such as for iOS or Android. This makes sure that the experience within a native app is tailor-made to each platform. On the other hand, Progressive web apps take a different approach. They are not platform-specific. As a result, you only need to develop one app which works across every device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the design of a native app is platform specific, it provides a more user-friendly experience. At the same time, a native mobile app saves time and cost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-2bec18fa list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Development and launch:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The development of a mobile app is more expensive when compared to the development of a web app. As native mobile apps are platform-specific, they have a unique development process for each platform. On the downside, PWA has a common processing code for every platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a PWA is easy to launch without any approval, a native mobile app requires approval from the app store. This might take a long process and sometimes your app might get ret rejected too whereas a developer you might have to end up making extensive changes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-d4f8f16e list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">User access:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can only access a native mobile app after downloading it from an app store. Once installed, the app will appear on your home screen with a recognizable icon and text label. PWA, on the other hand eliminates administrative headaches in app stores. Users can access it by searching in a mobile browser. You can simply add it to your home screen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-e6e1b3b0 list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>A user using the mobile app has to update it frequently from an app store or play store to make sure that they are using the latest version. Taking this into consideration things are easier for a PWA user as they need not worry about updates.PWA will update by itself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-8dd82d05 list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Device\u2019s Resource access:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Native mobile apps have access to system resources. This adds to the functionality of the mobile apps but at the same time the use of device battery, storage and data will be more. PWA apps only have limited access to system resources.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-f23f2cf1 list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internet Connection requirement:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Native mobile apps can work offline whereas one can only access and run a PWA with a proper internet connection.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-9c56cf20 list-items\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Security:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Users need not worry about the safety and security of the native mobile app as it requires the approval of the app store. Apps that pose security issues to the users are highly unlikely to get accepted. At the same time, a web app user needs to be worried about security issues as it is not subjected to standardized quality control.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-8e0fca71 conclusion\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are planning to develop web apps, native apps or progressive web apps, you need to take a lot of factors into consideration. The app speed, performance, if you want the app to be internet-enabled, which mobile platform you want it to support, your budget, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also opt to work with all the types to
