Can’t decide between launching your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) as a web or mobile app? Both avenues have their merits, but web applications offer some compelling advantages that can make your MVP journey smoother. Here’s why.
Easy to Access
One of the strong suits of web applications is that they can be accessed from virtually any device with internet capabilities and a web browser. While they might not function identically across all browsers, they offer greater accessibility than their mobile counterparts.
Lower Startup Cost
Mobile applications often require different versions for different platforms like Android, iOS, and sometimes even desktop. Each variant can require specialized skills, which means potentially hiring multiple development teams. Web applications, using universally accepted languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, cut through this complexity and are often less costly to develop.
Updates Are a Breeze
Updating mobile applications can be cumbersome, requiring app store approvals and user downloads. Web applications sidestep these issues, allowing for updates to be pushed directly to the server. This ensures that users always have access to the most current version without needing to download updates.
Fewer Unexpected Problems
System updates on mobile operating systems can sometimes throw a wrench in the functionality of mobile apps. Web apps, operating within a browser, are generally less susceptible to such issues. They aren’t completely immune to browser updates but are comparatively more stable.
Conclusion
While mobile apps have their place, web applications offer a range of benefits that make them a compelling option for your MVP. From broader accessibility and cost-effectiveness to easier updates, web applications offer a practical way to get your business idea up and running.
