Native app: 166 megabytes. Developer has to maintain 3 separate versions in different programming languages across an already spread thin team. Lack of library support and poor AI performance.
Web app with Capacitor: 7 megabytes. One codebase for Android, iOS, and web. Whole team collaborates on same codebase. Great library support and AI works well on it. Can quickly test ideas on web first then distribute to app stores later.
