Comparison
KW Native vs Natively
Both services turn your website into a native iOS and Android app. The difference comes down to ownership and how you pay. Here is how they stack up.
The short answer
Natively.dev is a self-serve, subscription-based platform that hosts your wrapped app for you. KW Native is a done-for-you service that ships the app under your own developer accounts and hands you the full source code on day one · for a single fixed fee. If you want to own what you ship and avoid recurring costs, KW Native is built for that. If you want a hosted platform you keep paying for, Natively is built for that.

Why no-subscription matters
Subscription wrappers feel cheap at first, but the cost compounds. £19/month is £228/yr, every year, for as long as your app is on the store. KW Native Starter is £399 once · and you keep the source code, so you are never forced to keep paying to keep your app alive. If the service disappears, your app keeps working.
Why source code ownership matters
Owning the GitHub repo means you can hand the project to any developer, change anything you want, and submit updates without going through us. Hosted wrappers do not give you that. With KW Native you get the full Capacitor project, the RUNBOOK.md, and the build scripts on day one.
