PWA vs Native Apps: Why LIA from Liteit.app Is the Smart Choice in 2025
In today’s mobile-first world, businesses are facing a key decision: build a traditional native app or go with a modern Progressive Web App (PWA)? In 2025, the answer is clearer than ever. LIA (Liteit Installable App) by Liteit.app is leading a new era of app development—bringing the power of native-like experiences to the web with unmatched flexibility, speed, and affordability.
๐ฒ What’s the Difference?
Native Apps are installed through app stores, built with platform-specific code (like Swift for iOS or Kotlin for Android), and often require separate development teams for each OS.
PWAs, on the other hand, are web apps enhanced with installability, offline support, push notifications, and deep hardware access—yet they run in the browser and can be installed directly from your website.
