It&#8217;s fun, it&#8217;s exciting, but it is also about fast yet wise decisions. Making mistakes is not an option, and the danger is high. You may either crash your car or run out of gas before getting to your planned destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to avoid this, choose your vehicle and the engine that comes with it wisely. And reading this piece will help you to decide whether choosing <a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/services\/react-native-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">React Native app development<\/a> for startups is actually a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-react-native\">What is React Native?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">React Native is an open-source, cross-platform framework created by Facebook in 2015 for building mobile applications using React.

But it may become a bit easier after reflecting on needs, estimated budget and available time. Therefore, there are some scenarios in which React Native might be the right choice. Consider choosing React Native:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>If you have native apps<\/strong> <strong>already<\/strong>\u2014 if you already have iOS and\/or Android applications, you can change to React Native, because it doesn&#8217;t require re-writing the entire code which makes migration a lot easier (check <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.khanacademy.org\/our-transition-to-react-native\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> how Khan Academy managed such a transition)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To scale quickly<\/strong> \u2014 it&#8217;s easy to hire or train React Native developers so growing a team fast is not a problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To create MVP fast<\/strong> \u2014 having just an idea is not enough, and you must test it in real market conditions. In other words, you need to create an MVP as fast as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If you have tight deadlines<\/strong> \u2014 if you work in a startup, you need to move fast. Need-for-Speed-like fast or even faster. And it&#8217;s not about creating MVP. It&#8217;s also about making constant changes and updates with as little effort and time as it&#8217;s needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If your budget is strictly limited<\/strong> \u2014 having just an idea is not enough for most investors. A minimum you need is working MVP, but there is a chance that you won&#8217;t finish it before running out of money. Using React Native will help you minimise that risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to build an app that works seamlessly on mobile and web. To see how React Native can be effectively used on the web, our <a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/react-native-for-web\/\">React Native for Web<\/a> article provides essential insights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits-of-using-react-native-for-startups\">Benefits of using React Native for Startups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking closely at benefits is always a good idea when it comes to making more or less important decisions. To help you make a great one regarding technology for your startup, we prepared a list of benefits from both business and technical perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits-from-a-business-perspective\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">Benefits from a business perspective<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Excellent User Experience<\/strong> \u2014 User Experience of any digital product is essential to its success. While technically a React Native app is not &#8220;the app&#8221;, it looks and feels like it. Especially because it&#8217;s fully responsive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stability and evolvement<\/strong> \u2014 since its foundation, React Native matured, is still evolving and backed up by a huge community. Most common problems are already solved. Therefore, the risk of using it doesn&#8217;t exist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Developers availability<\/strong> \u2014 React Native is not a new technology or one that nobody knows. The reverse is true: the developer marketplace is robust. You can either hire freelancers using websites like Upwork or <a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/services\/react-native-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">React Native Agency<\/a>, like ours. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shortened time to market (TTM)<\/strong> \u2014 the sky is the limit, and time is the money. As a startup, you don&#8217;t want to create an app for months without showing it to real users and future customers. React Native boosts up mobile development by up to 50% in comparison to native app development so startups can create working MVPs even twice as fast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Money savings<\/strong> \u2014 this point is highly connected with the previous points. Still, there is more: a decision to build a single cross-platform app is far better economical choice than creating two separate applications for iOS and Android.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time savings<\/strong> \u2014 using React Native means that you don&#8217;t have to create two separate applications for two separate platforms. Not to mention the time you will spend on upgrading and fixing them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits-from-a-technical-perspective\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">Benefits from a technical perspective<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compatibility with backend technologies<\/strong> \u2014 you can use React Native with back-end frameworks like Django or Ruby on Rails, and it will work like a charm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Declarative style<\/strong> \u2014 it&#8217;s about <strong>WHAT&nbsp;<\/strong>you want to do, contrary to imperative style, which is about&nbsp;<strong>HOW<\/strong> you want to do it. For example, let&#8217;s say that you hired a private chef and want to eat a fancy dinner at home. Instead of telling him&nbsp;<strong>HOW&nbsp;<\/strong>to do it (imperative style), you just say&nbsp;<strong>WHAT <\/strong>you want (declarative style), i.e. &#8220;Make me Hawaii pizza, please.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dynamic development<\/strong> \u2014 since its creation in 2015, React Native evolved both as a technology and community and it doesn&#8217;t seem it will rest on it&#8217;s laurels. Because of that, you can be sure of two things: (1) it&#8217;s more future-proof than some other technologies and (2) the chances of finding someone to hire or to help you are very high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hot Reloading<\/strong> \u2014 in short, it allows you for making changes to your app code while it&#8217;s still up and running. It accelerates app development significantly because your app can reload automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open-source community<\/strong> \u2014 if you are stuck somewhere along the development process, you can always go to GitHub or Reddit to ask for help, and there is a great chance that someone will help you out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reusable components<\/strong> \u2014 why write the same code again and again, when you can re-use already-built elements? It works across both iOS and Android, and it&#8217;s enough to update a particular component in one view. It&#8217;s possible because updates will be automatically made in each case of using this component<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Third-party extensions support<\/strong> \u2014 React Native is all about speeding up the development process. Apart from RN itself, you can use many third-party plugins and frameworks like <a href=\"https:\/\/nativebase.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">NativeBase<\/a> (which helps you to create native-like apps) or <a href=\"https:\/\/galio.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Galio<\/a>&nbsp;(which is a library of UI components)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disadvantages-of-using-react-native\">Disadvantages of using React Native<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not all rainbows and butterflies. Like any other technology, React Native also has its flaws:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Complicated updating process<\/strong> \u2014 keeping your cross-platform application always up with <a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/how-to-upgrade-react-native-to-the-latest-version\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the latest React Native version<\/a> is a challenge. It&#8217;s a complicated process that&#8217;s much easier in the case of native apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Issues with more complicated design<\/strong> \u2014 React Native may not be the best choice if you want to use gain business leverage by using some advanced interactions or custom graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of custom modules<\/strong> \u2014 sometimes, you will have to build specific components from scratch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Messy code after migration<\/strong> \u2014 you may have to rewrite some code to make necessary adjustments or to make APIs work correctly again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"c-newsletter-block-acf\">\n    <p class=\"c-newsletter-block-acf__title c-newsletter__header\">\n        EXPERT INSIGHTS, FRICTIONLESSLY DELIVERED!    <\/p>\n    <p class=\"c-newsletter-block-acf__desc c-newsletter__header\">\n        Curated tech news delivered straight to your inbox every month.\r\n    <\/p>\n    <form method=\"post\" class=\"c-newsletter-block-acf__form js-newsletter-form c-newsletter__action\" name=\"newsletter-block-form\">\n        <input name=\"newsletter-email\" id=\"newsletter-email\" type=\"text\" class=\"c-newsletter-block-acf__input js-newsletter-input\" placeholder=\"Company Email\" \/>\n        <input name=\"newsletter-campaign\" id=\"newsletter-campaign\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"\" \/>\n        <div class=\"c-newsletter-block-acf__group\">\n            <input name=\"consent\" id=\"consent\" type=\"checkbox\" class=\"js-newsletter-consent\" \/>\n            <label class=\"c-newsletter-block-acf__label\" for=\"consent\">I accept the <a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/privacy-policy\">Privacy Policy<\/a> and agree to process my personal data by Pagepro for marketing purposes.<\/label>\n        <\/div>\n        <input type=\"submit\" class=\"c-newsletter-block-acf__button button js-newsletter-sub ga-newsletter-form-content\" value=\"Sign up\" \/>\n        <p class=\"theme-size-1 js-message-valid is-hidden is-invalid\"><\/p>\n    <\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-to-choose-a-native-app-instead-of-react-native\">When to choose a native app instead of React Native?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not like that cross-platform app is always a better choice than going with a native app. There are some scenarios in which it&#8217;s better to choose the latter option.

The difference between React Native and Ionic is that Ionic is a hybrid, and the RN is native.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the above alternatives are cross-platform and open-source solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"react-native-faq\">React Native FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-react-native-application\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">How long does it take to build a React Native application?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reply is: it depends (it\u2019s our favourite answer). While choosing React Native to build an application speeds up the development process up to 50% in comparison to native app development, the time needed depends on the complexity of the desired application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such an estimation can be prepared after outlining the software complexity by both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-does-it-cost\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">How much does it cost?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, it depends.
