1 Year TCO

You see total cost of ownership (TCO) savings immediately by consolidating your development efforts into a single, open-source codebase. It not only cuts costs, but also future-proofs your TV app plans. We have React Native TV apps as our focus as we have worked with the framework for over a decade, and it has proven stability and reliability at scale. That's why we recommend it.

With Norigin Media your React Native Apps builds do not start from zero. Our TV App SDK brings readymade player, ads and analytics integrations, along with our CTV spatial navigation and other libraries out of the box. Cost comes down to efficiency. It starts with the core technology choice, then with cutting custom engineering hours and the need for platform-specific specialists.

Illustrative example

CTV: Native Apps Vs. React Native Apps

Apple TV, Android TV and Samsung Tizen: Can be built uniquely & natively as separate codebases, where you will dedicate a team per platform, or with a single code-base like React Native, where you only need one team across all three platforms.

*Engineering Team Staffing assumed: Native development requires, 6 SW developers, (2 each on iOS, Android and Web) 1.5 testers and a 50% project manager effort for different code bases. React Native reduced the SW developers to about 2.5 resources and to 1 tester, where project management effort can also reduce to 30%. All figures in USD, was converted from EUR at 1.15, and based on standard avg. market rates for each role in the EU. All figures are the annual direct costs of running the apps and exclude any one-off transition work. Your actual numbers depend on your team's real rates and platform mix.
