It is one of the most common questions we hear from founders: should we build a mobile app or a website? The answer shapes your budget and your launch.
Start with a website if…
- You need to reach the widest audience fast (no download required).
- You want strong SEO and to be found on Google.
- Budget and speed to market matter.
Build an app if…
- You need device features, offline use or push notifications.
- Your users will engage repeatedly and want it on their home screen.
- Your product is the app itself.
