Native or React Native? Decide for the right reasons
The answer depends on your team, your feature set and your release cadence, not on which framework is trending this year.
By Amrelia Technologies Engineering · Engineering team
We build both, so we have no framework to sell you. Here is how we help teams choose.
Choose native when
- The app is the product and platform polish is a differentiator.
- You need deep hardware access: camera pipelines, Bluetooth peripherals, ARKit.
- You already have iOS and Android teams.
Choose React Native with Expo when
- One team must ship iOS, Android and web.
- Business logic changes weekly and over-the-air updates matter.
- The app is mostly lists, forms and integrations to a backend, which describes most business apps.
Either way
Backend, authentication, push, payments and store compliance are the same amount of work in both worlds. Budget for them explicitly, because they are where first apps run late.
