InstantPWA vs Median (formerly GoNative)

Native app-store wrapper, or an install prompt for the site you already have?

By The InstantPWA team — Product & engineering·Last updated August 1, 2026

Median builds a native iOS/Android wrapper around your website so it can go in the App Store and Play Store, with access to native plugins. InstantPWA skips app stores entirely — a script adds an install prompt so visitors add your live site to their home screen in seconds, no review process.

When to pick which

Use Median when App Store/Play Store presence and deep native plugin access (Bluetooth, native push SDKs) matter more than shipping speed. Use InstantPWA when you want installs today without app-store review, or as a lightweight companion to a Median app for organic on-site conversion.
