User Testimonials
	Ionic	Next.js
Likelihood to Recommend	Ionic - Inexpensively and rapidly creating multi-device (Android, iPhone) native apps. - Quick ramp-up time allows for rapid development. - Open source tools can be used to develop. - Lightweight code-based can be easily shared and developed in a team environment. - Use of React, Vue, and angular leverages well-known coding and application design frameworks that are transportable. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	VERCEL I love using Next.js — it's my go-to framework for new personal projects and work projects. The local development environment is quick, easy, and fun to use. The framework it uses, which puts an API that runs node in your pages subdirectory, is absolutely genius. No more middleware! It's good for quick projects and big projects alike. I wouldn't use Next.js if I did not want to heavily rely on serverless tech. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Ionic Nice command line interface for repetitive development and deployment tasks. Realtime preview (in web browser) during development. Easy to update and keep current (open source) via command line. Provides nice set of mobile widgets for consistency across devices.

Cons	Ionic Slightly better documentation when it comes to command line build troubleshooting. Increased widget library (even though it's much improved today). Native chart/graphing widgets. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	VERCEL Window sizing makes handling SSR pages odd, at times React can be easier to statically deploy Somewhat of a learning curve Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Ionic Android Studio Busy Confusing Marginal IDE Large footprint Single device development IonicFramework Lean, no IDE needed Web browser preview Multi-device development Scripting of build packages for deployment Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	VERCEL Next.js takes the best parts of React and applies them to a full-stack dev environment. With a built-in serverless API, it's easy to boot up a web application in under an hour. With easy integration with tools like Firebase, Supabase, Stripe, and countless others, Next.js is a perfect tool for getting your idea out into the real world.

Return on Investment	Ionic The ability to create a mobile app quickly by a single developer (saving $20K). Increased customer satisfaction. Avoids outsourcing costs of $10k-$20k. Incentivized Jeff Hanson Lead Developer Read full review	VERCEL It's free! It saves me a lot of time when writing serverless code Deployment, via Vercel, is fast, quick, and easy to debug Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
