Capacitor vs Expo

Pick Capacitor when

  • Web teams shipping iOS + Android
  • Existing React/Vue/Angular codebases
  • Form, content, and business apps
  • MVPs needing both app stores fast

When Capacitor is not a fit

  • Games or graphics-heavy apps
  • Teams demanding pixel-perfect native animations
  • Native Swift/Kotlin teams with no web code to reuse
  • Anyone wanting a vendor with a stable commercial roadmap
