Responsive Design….
Lower development cost (usually) compared to native app
Single URL that works for web and mobile
Simpler, less expensive marketing because it’s a single brand property
Greater speed and flexibility of deploying updates or bug fixes
Faster and wider audience reach since one browser fits all
Easier and cheaper to find teams with web development skills
Can be packaged like a native app if needed
Native/Mobile Apps…
More expensive to manage multiple devteams and code bases
More popular with consumers
Historically a better UX than responsive
Better at incorporating most of the key smartphone features (GPS/Phone)
Works better when mobile internet or wi-fi are not available (caching is improving)
Push Notifications which have shown to drive immediate activity and conversions
