A hybrid app is one that is written with the same technology used for websites and mobile web implementations, and that is hosted or runs inside a native container on a mobile device.
Benefits :
o Developing a Hybrid App is cheaper than developing a Native App. It can be built for cross-platforms, i.e., reduced cost for App development.
o Maintenance is simple, as there are not many versions to be maintained.
o It can take advantage of a few features available in the device.
o It can be found in the App Store, which makes the distribution easy.
o It has a browser embedded within the app only.
Disadvantages :
o Graphics are less accustomed with the operating system as compared to Native Apps.
o Hybrid Apps are slower than Native Apps.
