.NET MAUI
We develop an app in .NET MAUI: one C#/.NET codebase for iOS, Android (and desktop) — a rational choice if your team and backend are already in the Microsoft/.NET ecosystem. Honestly upfront: MAUI is primarily good for .NET teams; it has a smaller community and fewer libraries than React Native/Flutter, so outside the .NET context it is usually NOT the first choice — we will honestly say if RN/Flutter or native fits you better.
.NET MAUI — overview

.NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) is developing a single app in C#/.NET that runs on iOS, Android and, if needed, desktop (Windows/macOS) from a shared codebase. Its main value is for those ALREADY in the .NET ecosystem: reusing the team's C# skills, shared logic with a .NET backend, a unified stack. Honestly about the scope of use, this is key: MAUI is most justified when you already have a .NET team and/or a .NET backend — then it is rational and saves resources. But honestly: outside the .NET context MAUI is usually NOT the first choice — it has a SMALLER community, fewer ready libraries and examples than React Native (835) and Flutter (836), which affects the speed of solving non-typical tasks and finding specialists. If you are not tied to .NET, we will honestly advise RN/Flutter (broader ecosystem) or native (833/834, if maximum is needed). Honestly about cross-platform trade-offs (common to all): some native capabilities require platform bindings, on the heaviest tasks performance is below native, dependence on the framework's evolution (here — Microsoft). Honestly about scale and costs: a large project; Apple/Google accounts (separate), store review, payment commissions. Honestly about maintenance: updates for new OS and MAUI/.NET 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 MAUI; RN is 835, Flutter is 836, native are 833/834. Picture this: instead of 'separate mobile development detached from your .NET stack' — an app in a unified C#/.NET environment. The base price starts from 180,000 ₽ (depends on functionality).
Problems we solve
- The team and backend are in .NET, but mobile is done detached on another stack.
- You want to reuse C# skills and shared logic with a .NET backend.
- You need both platforms from one codebase in a .NET environment.
- It is unclear whether MAUI suits or RN/Flutter is better.
What's included in the .NET MAUI service
- Development of a single .NET MAUI app (C#) for iOS/Android
- Reuse of C# skills and shared logic with a .NET backend
- Platform bindings for specific capabilities
- Help with App Store and Google Play publishing
- An honest assessment: whether MAUI suits or RN/Flutter/native is better
- Indicating boundaries (smaller community/libraries; cross-platform trade-offs)
- A maintenance plan (OS/MAUI/.NET updates)
- Handover and review with you
What you get
- An app in a unified C#/.NET environment for both platforms
- Reuse of the team and logic with a .NET backend
- Savings for .NET-oriented projects
- A rational choice for the .NET context (otherwise — RN/Flutter/native)
How the work goes: steps
- We clarify the stack, team and task; honestly check whether MAUI suits
- We develop in .NET MAUI, make platform bindings, test
- We publish to both stores, honestly set boundaries and a maintenance plan

FAQ
Is MAUI a good choice for us?
It depends on your stack, and we are honest. MAUI is most justified if you already have a .NET team and/or a .NET backend — then it is rational. But outside the .NET context MAUI has a smaller community and fewer libraries than RN/Flutter, so there it is usually not the first choice. If you are not tied to .NET — we will honestly propose RN/Flutter or native.
Why does a smaller community matter?
Fewer ready libraries, examples and specialists on the market means non-typical tasks take longer to solve, and finding developers is harder than for RN/Flutter. For typical apps in a .NET environment this is not critical, but it is honest to account for — especially if you do not have your own .NET team.
Are costs and maintenance like the others?
Yes: 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 MAUI/.NET versions. And the cross-platform trade-offs on performance/native capabilities common to all. We will calculate by your spec.
