Difference between a progressive web app and a hybrid mobile app

Question

Can someone tell me the differences between a Hybrid Mobile App and a Progressive Web App and their advantages?

Answer 1

Hybrid App - It is a native app which also uses web technologies (html/js/css) for code reuse and ease of development. The app needs to downloaded from App store. Developer cannot push the change immediately as there is a 'cycle' for the app review by the appstore, etc.

Progressive Web App - Web application which uses the latest technologies in HTML5 and provides a rich user experience and capabilities. Supports offline mode (like regular apps). Code push is easy. Best part is, you don't need a separate development and deployment process for iOS, Android, and Desktop.
