My name is Vitaliy. I am a founder of the Owlab company. We develop Android-backed and IOS-backed mobile apps- owlab.group/services/mobile-develo.... And I would like to add to this issue. IOS and Android apps have the core differences that the potential webmaster should know:

  • intentions of your audience. For example, if you would like to build an app concerning the proposals of elite buildings, use IOS. The main reason is that your target audience is supposed to use IOS-supplied mobile phones. -If you tend to have an app with a unique design, use IOS. IOS development platforms propose flexible decisions for UI&UX. -If you have the strict requirements for the Google acceptance process of your app, choose the Android platform. It has a lower deployment time in comparison to IOS.

If we take the cost of the project into account, it depends on the time of the project fulfillment. More time is required, higher costs will be. All apps have a different amount of features and, of course, time in Android or IOS environment. So, it is impossible to state that Android or IOS-backed apps are less or high-priced.

A for the competition, both the market of Android and IOS apps has a tough level of it.
