Check out our comparison article here. Ionic React and React Native are two great options for building apps.

However, Ionic/React + Capacitor is just normal React development. It’s the approach the majority of React web devs are familiar with. React Native is quite a bit different from React web dev, and will have a steeper learning curve and not be compatible with popular React libraries that web devs are used to.

It is not... native... on the UI side. Pure web technologies with a wrapper (Capacitor) that acts as a bridge to system APIs.
