Why startups should choose React Native development <\/strong><\/p>\n

More and more startup companies are popping up and it seems as if everyone is building an app. The unfortunate reality, however, is that not every startup will be successful. A lack of money or motivation means they fail to produce a quality product that keeps customers loyal. Or even if their product is really great, poor management and bad marketing can lead to failure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore if you want your startup to succeed (and I’m sure you do), then choosing the right path can help you avoid failure and create a profitable business model.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of those paths is by using React Native development. First we’ll talk about why it’s good for startups and later we\u2019ll look at some of the benefits of using React Native.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is React Native?<\/strong><\/p>\n

React Native is a cross-platform app development tool that allows you to write code using javascript and java, but talk to APIs based on Obj-C or Swift. It’s also open source so if you have the skills, you can contribute however you want. <\/span><\/p>\n

Using React Native allows startup companies to create both iOS and Android apps with little effort because coding is simplified by the language being used. And going over your startup budget isn\u2019t as much of a concern, with a relatively low price point of $199 for an individual license. The startup fee may be a little bit more significant than something like Xamarin, but React Native has been around longer and was made by Facebook itself, providing reassurance that it\u2019ll still be around in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefits of React Native <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Saving money is always a plus and react native allows startup companies to save thousands of dollars (potentially even millions if your startup is big enough). This will allow you to invest elsewhere like marketing, development, and good talent.<\/li>\n
  2. React Native is constantly getting better; new updates are released almost every month, which helps startup companies stay ahead and look professional in this competitive market.<\/li>\n
  3. React Native is totally customizable; it lets you do whatever you want. You can add or remove features that you don’t need, making it perfect for companies that are just starting out and don’t have much money yet but still want an app that looks good.<\/li>\n
  4. React Native is open source, meaning startups can use it for free. Some companies are on a budget and can\u2019t afford to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on the development of a mobile app. React Native allows them to save money while still having an app developed.<\/li>\n
  5. With almost all the bugs already squashed, startups don’t have to worry about spending resources to fix errors that arise in production. This is great because instead of debugging problems with the codebase again and again, they can focus on updating their product or working on something new for their users.<\/li>\n
  6. React Native has an almost 100% approval rating on app stores. That means startup companies will not have to worry about users disliking or hating their app.<\/li>\n
  7. React Native supports third-party plugins so companies can add the necessary tools that they need.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Which startups are using React Native?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    There are many successful companies using React Native to develop their products, including AirBnB, Facebook and Instagram. This goes to show that you don’t need to spend a lot on developer salaries if you’re willing to take a risk. <\/span><\/p>\n

    There are mainly two kinds of companies that use React Native; startups looking to build an app or try new things, or those who have some money but still want an affordable solution for mobile app development.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Why not Xamarin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. React Native has been around longer than Xamarin so it (and you) can benefit from all the time put into by Facebook\u2019s engineers.<\/li>\n
    2. There are more articles written about React Native development than Xamarin, so startup companies can read up on what exactly this framework has to offer.<\/li>\n
    3. While React Native is completely open source, Xamarin isn’t, which means startups might have to pay for its advanced features.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Conclusion <\/strong><\/p>\n

      Using React Native development for your app is definitely a good idea due to all the benefits it provides. It saves you money, time, and all the headaches that other kinds of development might present. There are virtually no downsides or hidden issues to worry about; just remember to do some thorough research before choosing what language you’re going to develop your apps in.<\/span><\/p>\n

      If you\u2019re a startup company, we hope we\u2019ve given you a solid understanding of why using React Native is a smart option for helping you grow faster at a lower cost. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
