30-Second Summary
Save $20,000 USD avoiding app stores. Progressive Web Apps (PWA) offer the best of both worlds.
Every entrepreneur's dream is to say "download my app". But reality is harsh: Native app development (iOS/Android) is expensive, slow, and hard to maintain. Progressive Web Apps (PWA) have changed the game.
What is a PWA?
It is a website that behaves like an app. The user can "install" it on their phone from the browser, it works offline, and sends push notifications, but without going through the App Store or Play Store.
Cost and Benefit Comparison
| Factor | Native App | PWA (Codealtix) |
|---|---|---|
| Development Cost | High ($15k - $50k) | Low (Included in Web) |
| Apple/Google Commission | 30% of your sales | 0% (It's your web) |
| Launch Time | 3-6 months | 2-4 weeks |
| Downloads | Hard (Store Friction) | Easy (1 click from URL) |
