Flutter: two mobile platforms, one budget

Google's technology that turns "we want iPhone and Android" into one project, not two.

For years a serious mobile application meant two parallel projects: one team for iOS, another for Android, every feature paid for twice and different bugs on each platform. Flutter, Google's open-source technology, changed that arithmetic: a single codebase produces applications for both systems with fluid, identical interfaces. The budget difference is real but bounded — an indicative 30–40% saving versus two separate native apps for the same feature set, and every future update is done once. We build business applications with Flutter: field-sales ordering, clinic appointment booking, customer loyalty apps. The genuine limit: deeply platform-specific system integrations require separately written native bridges, and if your product depends heavily on such features, the native route deserves an open conversation.

What you get

One codebase, both platforms

iOS and Android from the same source: identical features, simultaneous releases, single maintenance stream — the budget never doubles.

We iterate on the real app

Changes appear instantly during development — we validate together on an actual phone, not static mockups, and correct course as we go.

Google foundation, massive adoption

Open-source, actively developed by Google and used by global banks and retailers — a safe choice for years ahead, not a gamble.

Frequently asked questions

Will users notice it is not a native app?

In practice, no: Flutter renders the interface at native cadence and respects each platform's gestures. Well-built Flutter apps pass as native even with demanding users.

How much do we actually save versus native development?

Our canonical figure is an indicative 30–40% saving versus two separate native apps for the same feature set. Annual maintenance runs at 15–20% of build cost either way, so the saving comes from building once, not from maintaining less.

Does a Flutter app get into the App Store and Google Play?

Yes, like any regular application — we handle both stores' publishing processes, including Apple's review requirements, and hand over accounts configured under your company's name, not ours.
