Comparison
Median vs GoNative
Median (formerly GoNative's rebrand of one product line) and GoNative are both WebView-based native app wrappers aimed at getting an existing website into the App Store and Play Store without a native rebuild.
Choose Median if…
Choose Median if you prefer its current plugin ecosystem and dashboard workflow — compare live docs, since both products iterate quickly.
Choose GoNative if…
Choose GoNative if its specific plugin set or pricing tier fits your app better — the two are close enough that feature docs and a trial are worth checking directly before committing.
Where InstantPWA fits
Both are native-wrapper products, distinct from InstantPWA's approach of adding an install prompt to the website itself (a PWA, not an app-store app). Teams sometimes run a native wrapper for app-store presence and InstantPWA for organic, review-free installs from the browser.

Is a WebView wrapper the same as a PWA?
No — a WebView wrapper is a native app shell that loads your website inside it and is distributed via app stores. A PWA is installed directly from the browser with no app-store step.
Do these tools require ongoing app-store maintenance?
Yes — both require you to maintain a developer account and go through Apple/Google review for updates to the native shell (not for your web content, which usually updates live).
Which is cheaper?
Pricing changes over time for both — check current published pricing on median.co and gonative.io directly rather than relying on older figures.
