Building a mobile app can be a great way to engage with customers and provide them with a convenient and personalized experience. However, it's important to consider the costs and resources required to build and maintain a mobile app before deciding to move forward. Here are a few factors to consider when determining if building a mobile app is the right move for your business:

1. Audience: Consider your target audience and whether they are likely to use a mobile app. If the majority of your customers are mobile users, then a mobile app can be a great way to reach them.

2. User Experience: If a mobile app can provide a better user experience than a mobile website, then it's worth considering building one. For example, if your app requires frequent usage or offline functionality, then a mobile app would be more suitable than a mobile website.

3. Branding: A mobile app can be a powerful tool for building brand awareness and loyalty. If your business is looking to establish a stronger brand presence, then a mobile app can be a great way to achieve this.

4. Business Goals: A mobile app can be a great way to achieve specific business goals, such as increasing sales, improving customer engagement, or gathering customer data. If your business has specific goals that can be achieved through a mobile app, then it's worth considering building one.

5. Resources and Budget: Building a mobile app requires significant resources and budget, including development costs, ongoing maintenance, and marketing expenses. Consider whether your business has the resources and budget to support a mobile app before deciding to move forward.

6. Integration: If your business already has an existing web platform, consider how easy it is to integrate the mobile app with it. If the integration is easy and seamless, it would make sense to build a mobile app.

Ultimately, building a mobile app can be a great way to reach and engage with customers, but it's important to carefully consider the factors for your industry and cost to build/maintain across multiple OS before deciding to move forward. It's always advisable to consult with experts in the field, such as mobile app development agency or consultants, to help you make an informed decision.
