Which is better for my project: web or mobile app?
This is one of the most common questions software houses encounter—and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The choice between a web app and a mobile app depends on business strategy, target audience, budget, and how users will interact with the product.
Web applications (running in a browser) are more universal. They don’t require installation, work across different devices, and are easier to maintain. They are ideal for B2B systems, admin panels, e-commerce platforms, or business applications.
On the other hand, mobile applications (for Android or iOS) offer greater possibilities for personalization and integration with phone features—such as push notifications, camera, geolocation, or sensors. They are an excellent choice if you want high user engagement and a better UX.
Hybrid solutions are also becoming increasingly popular—Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) or apps built with cross-platform technologies like Flutter or React Native. These allow a single codebase to run both in browsers and on mobile devices.
At Nugosoft, we always start with an analysis: who will use the app, in what context, and how frequently. Based on this, we recommend the solution that is most cost-effective and technologically efficient.
In summary: if you want to quickly reach a wide audience—opt for a web application. If user engagement and device interaction are key—a mobile application is the better choice. And if you want to combine both worlds—hybrid solutions offer tremendous possibilities today.
-
The cost depends on the scope of features, platform (iOS, Android), and complexity of the project. On average, a mobile app for a business can range from $5,000 to $25,000, and each project is priced individually.
-
For SaaS applications, React, Angular, or Vue.js are commonly used on the frontend, and Node.js, Django, or Ruby on Rails on the backend. The choice depends on project requirements, integrations, and scalability needs.
-
E-commerce apps should support sales, payment and inventory integrations, user personalization, and data analytics. Examples include online stores, mobile shopping apps, or B2B platforms.
