A quick overview-

• Native Application- Creating a native application means using the native languages of the platform, like Objective for C, Swift for iOS and Java for Android operating systems. It is a software or program which is designed to perform some specific task on a particular platforms, such as iOS, Android, Blackberry and so on. Native apps are encoded with various languages and compiled into machine code, provides the best performance that you can get from the smartphone.  It also integrated with built-in features of the handset, such as its camera, GPS, accelerometer, address book, compass and the list of contacts.

• Hybrid Application - To put it simply, a hybrid application is a combination of web apps and native apps. Developing a hybrid application is quite similar to creating web apps.

Here is comparing of Native Application and Hybrid Application:- 

Comparison	Native Apps	Hybrid Apps
Operating System	It is built for specific platform like Android, iOS, etc	It offers cross-platform functioning.
Security	Higher than hybrid apps	Lower than native apps
Universality	It is mandatory to repeat the development for another OS.	Provide universal solution for all platforms.
Speed of development	Slower than hybrid app	Faster than native apps
Technology Stack	Designed with different programming languages and which is supported by an platform on which the app should run faster.	Designed with web technologies, such as –HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other framwork
Example	Paypal and Gmail	Untapped, Baskin Robbin, Sworkit and etc.
Cost	It is expensive than hybrid apps	Cheaper than native apps

Through this above chat, you can see the major difference between Hybrid apps and Native app. The first thing that we want to tell you, in most of the case users won’t see any difference between these two apps.
