Android is more developer-friendly. It allows apps to be created and installed outside of the official Play Store, which makes it ideal for businesses building internal tools or testing ideas quickly. The open nature of Android also makes it easier to integrate with niche hardware or systems.

Apple, while more restrictive, ensures a high-quality user experience. Its strict approval process and design standards mean apps feel polished and consistent—but development and approval can take longer.

If your business wants to build and roll out its own apps flexibly and quickly, Android may be the better choice. If quality control and a smooth user experience are more important, Apple could be the way to go.
