Flutter is a software development kit used to build cross-platform applications for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and the web. It was created by Google and released to the public in 2017.
Flutter enables your developer to write the code for your app once and compile it into an app for both iOS and Android. Unlike traditional native app development, which requires writing the code for iOS and Android separately.
Because Flutter is cross-platform, you’ll save time and money during the initial development of your app, as well as ongoing maintenance. One code base to write and maintain means you won’t need to keep separate iOS and Android developers on staff to maintain your app.
Increasingly Flutter is a great fit for more and more app development projects. Our app development company has been confident recommending Flutter for many apps since 2022. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Flutter is backed by Google, updated by them throughout the year and has been out of Beta since 2018.
2. Flutter is the most popular cross-platform mobile framework used by developers.
3. Due to the above, we are confident that Flutter has longevity.
If you’d like to read more of our thoughts on Flutter for app development, we wrote a blog about it and cover some cases where Flutter may not be a great fit.
At Big Fish, a custom Flutter app starts at $25,000. This includes app design and development, app icon design, submitting your app to the App Store and Google Play, and more. The price goes up for larger apps. If you’d like to discuss the budget for your Flutter app please reach out to our team.
Yes, Flutter app development costs less than native app development. This is because Flutter lets your developers write the code for your app once, and deploy to both iOS and Android.
Flutter apps are written in Dart. Dart is a programming language that was developed by Google in 2013 and is designed to support large, complex projects. Google still maintains Flutter today and uses it in their own enterprise level projects. eBay Motors, Capital One and BMW are some other large companies that also use Flutter for their apps.
Absolutely not. Every Big Fish app is custom designed and developed to meet our client’s unique needs. The source code becomes your property when the project is complete and you receive a full copy of it.
The entire Big Fish team, including all of our developers is located in the United States and one in Canada. This means you won’t have to worry about overseas copyright laws that may be very different from what you need and expect.
Big Fish is a Flutter app development agency that designs and builds custom apps using Flutter and Dart.
