Developing a hybrid app in .NET MAUI can significantly reduce costs compared to native development for iOS and Android – learn how.
In recent years, app development has changed drastically, and companies seeking development services are increasingly looking at hybrid solutions to reduce costs. Developing a hybrid app with .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) is a powerful way to optimize both time and budget without sacrificing functionality or user experience. Unlike native development, where separate apps are built for each platform, hybrid development can save significant development time and money by enabling a single codebase for both iOS and Android.
Traditional native development requires creating specific apps for each operating system—usually in Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android. Although this approach offers high performance, it demands more resources since two separate development teams are often needed, which can significantly drive up costs. Additionally, ongoing updates and maintenance for each platform add to these expenses. Costs can escalate quickly, especially when aiming for high levels of functionality and design.
With .NET MAUI, companies can instead use a single codebase to create apps that work seamlessly on iOS, Android, and even Windows and Mac. This technology builds on experience from Xamarin and the .NET Framework, providing a mature and stable framework suitable for both small businesses and large organizations looking to keep costs low.
Choosing hybrid development with .NET MAUI offers businesses benefits like:
Historically, hybrid apps have had a reputation for offering somewhat lower performance than native apps. But with .NET MAUI, Microsoft has emphasized optimizing performance and creating a user experience comparable to native apps. The platform supports advanced features such as access to device-specific hardware and high-quality interface elements, meaning users often can’t tell the difference between an app built with MAUI and a native app.
To illustrate the actual savings, let’s look at a typical app development process for a mid-sized app that includes features like authentication, login, push notifications, and basic e-commerce functionality. When comparing native to .NET MAUI, it is estimated that MAUI development costs can be up to 30-40% lower, depending on specific requirements and functionality. Additionally, development and launch time is reduced, meaning companies can get their product to market faster and start generating revenue sooner.
It’s worth noting, however, that native development may still be preferable for certain apps, particularly those requiring advanced graphics or heavy data processing—such as in game development or apps that must fully leverage the device’s hardware. But for most business apps, especially those focusing on information sharing, customer engagement, or internal workflows, hybrid solutions like .NET MAUI are more than sufficient to deliver a high-quality user experience.
A common concern is whether hybrid apps can offer the same level of security as native solutions. With .NET MAUI, Microsoft has implemented robust security protocols, including support for encryption and authentication via established security standards. This ensures that business apps built in .NET MAUI can meet the high security requirements of many organizations, including in the public sector and other regulated industries.
By choosing hybrid development in .NET MAUI, companies can save substantial costs while accessing a stable and scalable platform. With a single codebase for multiple platforms and a reliable development process, .NET MAUI offers a cost-effective alternative for most applications. For companies looking to minimize initial investments without compromising on quality or user experience, hybrid development in .NET MAUI is a smart and sustainable choice.
