The two ways to use Expo tools are called the "managed" and "bare" workflows.

Managed workflow

Apps are built with the managed workflow using the expo-cli, the Expo client on your mobile device, and expo various services: push notifications, the build service, and over-the-air (OTA) updates. Expo tries to manage as much of the complexity of building apps for you as they can.

Bare workflow

This is workflow where you use some of the Expo tools in a vanilla React Native app. Unlike in the managed workflow where you don't touch the underlying native code directly, in this workflow the developer has complete control, along with the complexity that comes with that.

ExpoKit

ExpoKit is another way to use Expo tools in a vanilla React Native app. The problem with ExpoKit is it is, compared to the "bare workflow", very monolithic — you essentially include the entire runtime from the Expo "managed workflow" in your app, rather than only the pieces of it that you want
