For most business apps, cross-platform wins
React Native and Flutter have matured enough that the performance and 'native feel' gap is negligible for the vast majority of business applications — booking, e-commerce, internal tools, content apps.
When native still makes sense
Apps with heavy background processing, complex AR/camera work, or deep platform-specific integrations still benefit from fully native development. We're honest with clients when their requirements land here — it's rarer than founders expect.
The real deciding factor is usually team, not technology
If you'll eventually build an internal mobile team, consider which ecosystem they'll be hired into. If you're optimizing purely for speed and budget today, cross-platform is almost always the right call.
