Development: Developed using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, making them relatively easy to learn and develop.
Distribution and Access: Can be accessed directly via a web browser without the need for app stores, eliminating the need for installation. They can be easily shared through URLs.
Functionality: Offers near-native app experiences with service workers for offline functionality, push notifications, and background sync, though access to device hardware is limited.
Updates and Maintenance: Updates are applied server-side, ensuring users always have the latest version without manual updates.
Cost: A single codebase can cover multiple platforms, potentially lowering development and maintenance costs.
SEO: They are easily indexed by search engines, improving accessibility.

Development: Developed using platform-specific languages (Swift/Objective-C for iOS, Java/Kotlin for Android), allowing full utilization of device hardware capabilities.
Distribution and Access: Distributed through app stores, requiring installation and approval processes.
Functionality: Full access to device hardware features like camera, GPS, and accelerometer.
Updates and Maintenance: Updates are distributed through app stores, requiring users to manually update their apps.
Cost: Different codebases for each platform may result in higher development and maintenance costs.
User Experience: Designed according to device-specific UI guidelines, offering a smooth and intuitive operation.

Ease of Installation and Access: PWAs do not require installation and are easily accessible, whereas native apps need to be downloaded from app stores.
Performance and Functionality: Native apps provide higher performance and full access to device hardware, while PWAs have some limitations in functionality.
Ease of Updates and Maintenance: PWAs automatically stay up to date, while native apps require manual updates by the user.
User Experience: Native apps offer a smooth and advanced user interaction experience, though PWAs have also significantly improved in user experience in recent years.
