Simultaneously.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Swedes value 'effektivitet' (efficiency). Doing things 'på samma gång' is often praised in a work context, but in social settings, it's better to focus on one person at a time. In Finland-Swedish, 'samtidigt' is often used even more frequently than 'på samma gång', but both are perfectly understood. In international Swedish companies like IKEA or Volvo, 'på samma gång' is a key phrase for project synchronization. Many Swedish pop lyrics use this phrase to describe the bittersweet feeling of love—being happy and hurt 'på samma gång'.
The 'Both' Trick
Use 'både... och' with this phrase to sound very fluent. 'Det är både billigt och bra på samma gång!'
Avoid 'I samma tid'
This is the most common error. Even if it makes sense in your head, always use 'gång'.
