PWA for Enterprise
Błażej Piotrowski / · 2 min read
Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) are gaining popularity, and for good reason. They blend the best of both web and mobile apps, providing a seamless, user-friendly experience while simplifying development. If your enterprise is considering a mobile app solution, here’s why PWAs could be the perfect fit over traditional native apps.
1. Cross-platform compatibility
PWAs are built to work across all devices and operating systems — be it iOS, Android, or desktop. This eliminates the need to develop separate apps for each platform, significantly reducing development and maintenance costs while ensuring a consistent user experience.
2. No app store dependency
Forget waiting for app store approvals or updates. PWAs bypass app stores altogether, allowing you to distribute your app directly to your users. This also makes updates instant and frictionless, ensuring everyone is always using the latest version without needing to manually download anything.
3. Automatic updates
PWAs update silently in the background, ensuring your app stays up-to-date without any user action. Unlike native apps, where users often neglect updates, PWAs ensure that everyone is always on the latest version with improved features and security.
4. Cost-effective development
By using a single codebase for multiple platforms, PWAs offer a more budget-friendly alternative to native app development. Enterprises can build robust, feature-rich apps with functionalities like offline access, push notifications, and home screen installation without breaking the bank.

|---|---|---|
| Pros | Full access to device features Superior performance App store discoverability | Cross-platform compatibility No app store dependency Cost-effective development |
| Cons | Higher development costs App store dependence Manual updates | Limited access to device features No app store presence |
