Flutter
We develop an app in Flutter: one codebase for iOS and Android with its own rendering engine — a unified look and good performance. An alternative to React Native when a consistent UI and smoothness matter. Honestly upfront: it is still cross-platform with its own trade-offs — the Dart language, usually a larger app size, dependence on Google's framework, and some native integrations require plugins/native code.
Flutter — overview

A cross-platform Flutter app is developing a single app in the Dart language that runs on iOS and Android from a shared codebase. Flutter's distinctive feature: it DRAWS the UI with its own engine rather than using native widgets — hence the same look on all platforms and smooth animation. Honestly about the trade-offs, this is key: Flutter is a strong solution but not 'perfect without downsides'. (1) Dart is less widespread than JavaScript (fewer developers on the market than for RN). (2) The app size is usually larger due to the built-in engine. (3) You depend on Google's framework and its evolution (as with any vendor). (4) Some native capabilities require plugins, and where there are none — platform native code. Honestly about comparison with RN (835): both are good cross-platform; Flutter is often chosen for a consistent UI, smoothness and a single engine, RN — for the JS ecosystem and reuse of web skills. There is no universal 'best' — we will honestly advise for your team and task. If the product's core is maximum native performance/integration, we will honestly propose native (833/834). Honestly about scale and costs: a large project; Apple/Google accounts (separate), both stores' review, payment commissions. Honestly about maintenance: updates for new OS and Flutter versions are ongoing work. Honestly about success: we do not guarantee downloads/revenue (marketing and ASO 844+ are needed). Honestly about access: requirements/design are needed. An important boundary: this is Flutter; RN is 835, native are 833/834, MAUI is 837. Picture this: instead of 'two native apps' — one app with a unified UI for both platforms. The base price starts from 180,000 ₽ (depends on functionality).
Problems we solve
- You need both platforms with a unified, consistent look.
- Two native apps are expensive, a shared codebase is needed.
- UI smoothness and the same behavior on iOS/Android matter.
- Hard to maintain the same design in two codebases.
What's included in the Flutter service
- Development of a single Flutter app (iOS+Android)
- A unified look via its own rendering engine
- Plugins/native code for specific capabilities
- Help with App Store and Google Play publishing
- An honest comparison of Flutter / RN / native for your task
- Indicating boundaries (Dart, size, Google dependence, plugins)
- A maintenance plan (OS/Flutter updates)
- Handover and review with you
What you get
- One app with a unified UI for both platforms
- Smooth animation and a consistent look
- Savings vs two native apps
- A good cross-platform solution (heavy native performance — native)
How the work goes: steps
- We clarify requirements and whether Flutter suits (vs RN/native); collect spec
- We develop in Dart, add plugins/native code where needed, test
- We publish to both stores, honestly set boundaries and a maintenance plan
Why PDV Expert

FAQ
Is Flutter better than React Native?
There is no universal 'best' — both are good cross-platform. Flutter is often chosen for its single rendering engine (same UI, smoothness), RN — for the JavaScript ecosystem and reuse of the team's web skills. We will honestly advise for your team and task rather than push a favorite framework.
Does Flutter have downsides?
Yes, honestly: Dart is less widespread (fewer developers on the market), the app size is usually larger due to the built-in engine, you depend on Google's framework evolution, and some native integrations require plugins or native code. It is a strong solution but not 'without trade-offs' — like any technology.
Are the costs only for development?
No. Paid Apple and Google accounts are needed, both stores take a commission on payments/subscriptions and do review (can reject). Plus ongoing maintenance for new OS and Flutter versions. Honestly budget for this; we will calculate by your spec.
