Progressive mobile apps and native mobile apps are two distinct approaches to mobile application development.

Native apps are specifically built for a particular platform, such as iOS or Android, utilizing the native programming languages and frameworks supported by those platforms. They offer optimal performance and take full advantage of device capabilities, resulting in seamless user experiences.

Progressive mobile apps are web-based applications that are designed to work across multiple platforms and devices. They are built using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and can be accessed through a browser. Progressive apps provide a consistent user experience across different platforms, offer offline functionality, and can be easily updated without requiring app store approvals.

While native apps excel in performance and platform-specific features, progressive apps focus on versatility and accessibility across a wide range of devices and platforms.
