There might be something to the headline but the content isn't delivering. 1. You can't compare making an ios and android app to making an app for every bloody broweser, I mean you could just as easily built your webite to safari and chrome for mobile. You want a true cost comparision compare building an app for universal windows, and mac and linux. Of course if you reduce the scope of your app's access you are going to get reduced costs. 2. Building a messaging app is probably the least appropriate and one of the hardest things to build with web technologie( after a game). Use the appropriate technology for your app. 3. By your remarks on how costly mobile developers are, I'm guessing you've hired to inexpierenced web developrs. Get expierenced developers who know the limitations and best practices and you wont encounter so many issues.
