The main differences between a plugin and an app are:
Functionality:
A plugin is an add-on that extends or enhances the functionality of an existing application or platform.
An app (application) is a standalone software program designed to perform specific tasks or functions independently.
Dependency:
Plugins are dependent on a host application to run and cannot function on their own.
Apps are self-contained and can run independently without relying on other software.
Integration:
Plugins integrate into existing software, often seamlessly, to add new features or capabilities.
Apps operate as separate entities and don’t necessarily integrate with other software unless designed to do so.
Scope:
Plugins typically have a focused purpose, addressing specific needs within a larger application.
Apps can have a broader scope, offering a wide range of features and functionalities.
Installation:
Plugins are usually installed within the host application or platform.
Apps are installed directly on the operating system or device.
User interface:
Plugins often adopt the user interface of the host application.
Apps have their own distinct user interfaces.
For example, a browser extension is a type of plugin that adds functionality to a web browser, while a word processing program is a standalone app.
