What's the difference between a native mobile app and a web app?
Native mobile apps can be published to iOS and Android app stores. They're optimized for mobile performance and offer access to mobile device features like camera, push notifications, and location services. In Bubble, native mobile apps run on React Native.
Web apps run in browsers and can be accessed from any device with internet access, but have limited access to device capabilities compared to native apps.
When do I need a paid mobile plan?
The free plan is perfect for building your native mobile app. A paid plan is necessary for deploying a live version of your app, which is required for testing with Apple TestFlight and Google Play and for publishing to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
What's the advantage of a Mobile + Web plan?
A Mobile + Web plan allows your apps to share the same backend database, workflows, and API connections, eliminating duplicate development work and reducing the time spent creating separate experiences for web, iOS, and Android.
