Hi everyone ,

When it comes to marketplace app development, one of the biggest decisions developers and businesses face is choosing between cross-platform frameworks (like Flutter or React Native) and native development (Swift for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android).

Cross-platform solutions are praised for faster development, shared codebases, and reduced costs—but sometimes raise concerns about performance, device integration, and scalability. On the other hand, native apps often provide smoother performance, deeper platform features, and stronger long-term stability, though at higher development and maintenance costs.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

• Which approach do you think works best for marketplace apps with multi-vendor support, secure payments, and real-time updates?

• Have you faced challenges with scalability, performance, or user experience when choosing one over the other?

• Do you believe cross-platform frameworks have matured enough to match native apps in complex use cases like marketplaces?

Looking forward to hearing your experiences, pros/cons, and recommendations!
