Choosing Flutter for your project means using just one codebase, within one technologically connected team, going at one pace. You don’t have to look for vendors of two different technologies and then synchronise their work. There’s no need to duplicate the same payment function or social media authorisation. However, this doesn’t mean that you will be able to limit the number of outlays by half. It is often a bit more complicated to deliver a certain functionality for cross-platform.
To grasp the bigger picture here, let’s take a look at some numbers. It is estimated that it can take up to 20% – 50% more time to create a cross-platform feature than to create the same feature natively. However, compared to building both apps separately, 20% to 50% more time spent can still be a winning case for your budget.
Also, try to think about the course of events once your application succeeds. When it goes into maintenance it is much easier to maintain the app with one Flutter specialist. Your business might not be able to find tasks for several different developers full-time just by maintaining the code.
