Apps vs Platforms

A modular app is provided to users with similar needs, through a subscription-based platform, which distributes development and support costs among them. 
While a web app is a software application that runs on a web browser, a platform is designed to meet the common requirements of a group of professionals. 
A large web app is typically tailored to the specific and inflexible requirements of a company or organization. On the other hand, a platform offers a fully customizable web app for each user with their specific logo, data, reports, and client interface. 
A subscription model enables continuous upgrades, excellent services, and support, and sharing the initial development costs among users makes the platform more cost-effective.

How to tell a Platform from web App

A platform is a software system that serves as a foundation for other software applications to be built upon. It usually includes tools, frameworks, and APIs that developers can use to create custom applications. Some examples of platforms include operating systems like Windows or macOS, as well as development platforms like the Java or .NET frameworks.

A web application, on the other hand, is a software program that is accessed through a web browser over the internet. It is typically hosted on a server and can be accessed from any device with a web browser and internet connection. Some examples of web apps include email clients, social media platforms, and online shopping sites.

In other words, a platform is a foundation on which applications are built, whereas a web app is an application that is accessed over the internet through a web browser.

However, the distinction between a platform and a web app can be blurry, as some platforms may also offer web-based applications or services, and some web applications may require a specific platform to run on.

Platforms and the monthly subscription model

We work with top professionals to analyze specific fields and implement the appropriate platforms, which are offered as SaaS (Software as a Service). Each SaaS solution is a complete system for most users in the respective professional field, with the only requirement being an internet connection. SaaS makes previous systems, which relied on expensive hardware such as network servers, utility bills, system updates, backups, database servers, system protection, and security against hackers, obsolete.

With SaaS, all you need is an internet connection and a small monthly subscription fee to access great services and features that help you stand out from the competition. The platform is equipped with easy-to-use tools that you can access anytime and from anywhere using any computer, tablet, or phone.

The system fully supports freelancers at the start of their careers, and its modular structure can be reconfigured to continuously support them as they grow into larger business centers with many service points and employees.
Our experienced developers and the best tools on the market guarantee an excelent result at a competitive cost.
