Flutter vs native: which is right for your mobile app?

One codebase or two? We compare cost, speed, performance and long-term maintenance for business apps.

Most businesses need their app on both Android and iOS. You can build two native apps, or one cross-platform app with Flutter.

Why we often recommend Flutter - One codebase for both stores - Smooth, 60 fps animations - Faster development and lower cost - One team to maintain it

When native makes sense If your app depends heavily on device hardware — advanced camera processing, Bluetooth accessories or AR — native Kotlin and Swift can be the better choice.

Our approach We look at your features, budget and timeline and recommend the option that gives your users the best experience for the money.
