PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) and web apps are similar in that they can both be accessed through a web browser. However, there are differences:
-
Technology: PWAs are built using modern web technologies and practices, incorporating features like Service Workers and Web App Manifests. Web apps, on the other hand, encompass a broader range of applications running in a browser.
-
Accessibility: Both PWAs and web apps can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection, designed to be responsive across devices.
-
Discoverability: PWAs are discoverable through search engines and can be indexed like websites. They can also be distributed through app stores and added to the user’s home screen. Web apps may rely more on specific URLs or marketing efforts.
-
User Experience: PWAs aim to provide a native-like experience with features like smooth animations, offline functionality, and push notifications. Web apps offer a user interface through the browser but may have varying levels of performance and device-specific access.
