The evolution of Smartphones has brought a high competition between the companies providing the OS for them. For beating the competition, the companies are constantly working on the new OS versions and enhancing its features. The competition not only exists among those companies but also, among the businesses that are running their apps on those Operating Systems. In the earlier times, those businesses used to develop native apps differently for the iOS, Android, Microsoft Smartphones as well as the other devices. But as the concept of the hybrid apps as well as the various frameworks to create them, has been introduced, the burden of creating an app with similar appearance and functionalities, for different OS platforms, has helped not only the app owners but also the developers. Although technicalities of the hybrid apps are way too different from the native apps, those apps share the similar end goal of the native mobile and the web apps. The benefits of hybrid apps over the native apps are as follow:

1) Cost Effective: Since a single app will be running over various different operating systems, the cost of development for the app will be reduced to more than half the budget for developing native apps for all those operating systems, separately. Developing a hybrid app also reduces the maintenance cost as any required changes or updates, made to the app will be effective for all the devices.

2) Native Experience With Simple Backend: Being a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the user experience hybrid apps provide to its users, is almost as good as the native apps do. The main benefit of developing a hybrid app is that its design stays consistent for all the devices providing the same user experience, keeping the back-end structure simple.

3) High in Speed and Performance: As the hybrid app uses the same base code for each platform, the lightweight code results in faster performance of the app. Although the native mobile apps are really fast and high on performance, the hybrid apps have also raised the standard in speed as well as the efficiency as compared to mobile and web apps.

4) Offline Support: If we go through the facts, only a few urban cities are having access to the faster internet. The hybrid apps are best suited for the people from the places with limited data consumption plans or for the people who are always on the go, as those apps also provide offline support like the native apps do. These use a device’s API to store data offline.

5) Faster Development: The unified development process of hybrid apps not only saves a lot of money but also saves lots of time and efforts. Being based on HTML, any web developer can develop the app. As a single app works well on the multiple platforms, the hybrid app supports the hassle-free inter-app interaction and seamlessly integrate with other apps.

Hybrid apps are simpler to develop and easier to scale to the other platforms, and with them, one can access the same features on the multiple operating systems. With the same codebase, the maintenance of the app for every platform also becomes more convenient.
