Headless vs Hyvä, which should I choose?

Hyvä is the right answer for ~90% of Magento stores. It ships Lighthouse 95+, Core Web Vitals green by default, conversion lifts of 8-25%, and uses your existing Magento infrastructure. Project cost: $499, $999. Timeline: 2-6 weeks.

Headless is the right answer when you specifically need: real PWA (offline, install-to-homescreen, push), native iOS/Android sharing storefront code, or a frontend team that wants to ship 10x faster than Magento’s release cadence allows. Project cost: $7,999, $50k+. Timeline: 8-24 weeks. Plus ongoing Node infra ($100, $500/month).

Our headless audit ($999) gives you a written go / no-go answer. Often the recommendation is “just do Hyvä”.
