Web App
A web app is an application you use in a browser without installing anything — you log in and do real work, like booking, editing, or managing data. It is more than a website: it responds to you and stores your information.
Why does a web app matter to your business?
A web app reaches anyone with a browser instantly — no app-store download, no per-platform build, no waiting for review. That makes it fast to reach customers and simpler to update. The trade-off is less direct access to device hardware than a native app.
At Nabee, web apps and platforms start from $16,000 one-time, with one fixed number after scoping. Because we build both web and native in-house, the recommendation fits your product rather than a vendor's specialty.
A concrete example
Toree is a web app: a booking platform people reach on any device without installing anything. Instant, install-free access is exactly what a booking flow wants, which is why it lives in the browser.
