iOS or Android First for a Startup App?

by Freyakyle » Thu Jul 17, 2025 8:02 am

I’ve got an MVP idea and I’m torn between launching on iOS or Android first. Some folks suggest starting with iOS for smoother performance, while others lean toward Android due to wider reach. I recently had a chat with a few app developers in Dubai, and many of them recommended going hybrid to test the waters faster. They also helped outline pros/cons based on my target market. Has anyone here taken the hybrid route early on? Curious to hear what worked best for your startup.

Choosing between iOS or Android first for a startup app depends on your target audience, budget, and goals. If you aim for higher revenue per user and early adopters in regions like North America or Western Europe, iOS is often better due to its monetization potential and uniform device ecosystem. However, if your focus is broader global reach, especially in markets like Asia or Latin America, Android's larger user base and flexibility make it a strong choice. Start with the platform that best aligns with your initial user base and business strategy. nulls clash

A classic dilemma for startups! Choosing between iOS and Android first really depends on your target audience, budget, and development timeline. iOS can offer faster monetization and consistent user experience, while Android provides broader global reach.

Go Android-First: if your target market is primarily in emerging markets (e.g., India, Brazil, or parts of Africa), where Android has a dominant market share. It's also a good choice for apps like coc mod apk that aim for a huge user base. The Google Play Store also has a less stringent approval process compared to the Apple App Store, which can expedite your launch.

I think the answer depends a lot on your first users. If they’re in places like the US or Europe, iOS can be a smart choice since people there spend more and the app experience is smoother. But if you’re targeting markets like India, Brazil, or Africa, Android usually wins because way more people use it.

For an MVP, hybrid can also be a good shortcut. You won’t get the same polish as a native app, but it’s faster and cheaper to test whether people even want what you’re building. I’ve noticed this even in streaming-related apps (like when people search for crunchyroll premium just to get quicker access) speed to market often matters more than platform choice.

In the end, it’s less about iOS vs Android and more about where your audience is and what you want to achieve first.
