Android & iOS considerations
- Cross-platform frameworks share most code between both stores
- Native builds suit heavy hardware, AR or background processing
- Separate testing on both platforms is always required
Customer, partner & admin apps
- Each additional role app adds design, development and QA effort
- Admin dashboards and backends are part of client projects
- Backend complexity grows with real-time features
Design & customisation
- Original UI design for every role
- Custom animations and illustrations add effort
- Design systems save time across many screens
Third-party APIs & integrations

- Map and routing costs scale with usage
Cloud hosting & infrastructure

- Real-time and video features need more resources
- Costs scale with users and data
Maintenance & support
