App or web app: which one fits?

Not every business needs a store app. A practical way to compare three options and pick the right one.

You want to serve customers on their phones, but is a store app really required? Often the answer is no; there are three paths depending on the need.

Three options

  • Web app: runs in the browser, needs no installation and is updated on every device at once.
  • PWA: a web app that can be added to the home screen; it opens fast and can offer notifications and offline use.
  • Store app: full access to device features and visibility in the store; development and upkeep cost more.

How to decide

  • How many times a day will users open it?
  • Do you need the camera, Bluetooth or background tasks?
  • What are the budget and time to launch?
  • Does store visibility really make a difference?
Start with the simplest solution that solves the problem; add more as you grow.
