When to choose desktop

Three reasons to choose a desktop app

If none of these apply, a web app is simpler to update, and we will tell you so.

01

It must work offline

The app keeps its data on the computer, so work goes on without an internet connection.

02

It works with local equipment

Printers, scanners and other devices connect more directly to a desktop app.

03

It is used all day

A desktop app can feel quicker and more focused for daily, heavy use.

Our own example

Our retail POS has a Windows app that works offline

It runs on the user's own computer, like other desktop apps, next to the web version of the same product.

Questions

Desktop app development questions

.NET or Electron: which should I choose?

Both build desktop apps. .NET builds native Windows apps, and Electron builds desktop apps with web technology. We choose with you, based on what the app must do.

Can a desktop app work offline?

Yes. A desktop app can keep its data on the computer and work without internet. Our own retail POS has a Windows app that works offline.

Do I need a desktop app or a web app?

If you need to work offline or with local equipment, choose desktop. Otherwise a web app is usually simpler to update. We will tell you which one fits.

How much does a desktop app cost?

It depends on the scope. Tell us what you need and we will come back with a plan and a price for the first version.
