In today’s digital age, it is a common belief that if your project is not in the app store or play market, you don’t even exist. However, this is simply a myth. Many startups are beginning to realize that app development is not always necessary for their success. In this post, I will tell you 5 reasons startups don’t need to waste money on mobile app development.

Developing an app can be expensive

First, there is the cost factor. Developing an app can be expensive, especially if you need to build and support a true native app for both platforms. In addition to the initial development costs, there are also ongoing costs associated with maintaining and updating the app.

There are many frameworks, such as React Native, Flutter, and Ionic, that are tremendous and can significantly decrease costs. But you are not protected from feature limitations or framework-level blocker issues. And you still should find developers with specific skills if you need to build a complex application.
