Flutter, FlutterFlow or native: which should you choose?
FlutterFlow is fastest for standard app screens and MVPs, and exports real Flutter code. Flutter suits most business apps that need custom logic, performance and long-term maintenance. Fully native Swift and Kotlin apps make sense only for heavy device-specific features, games or very demanding graphics. We recommend the cheapest option that meets your needs.
| Approach | Best for | Relative cost | One codebase |
|---|---|---|---|
| FlutterFlow | MVPs, standard business apps | Lowest | Yes |
| Flutter (custom code) | Most business and consumer apps | Medium | Yes |
| Native (Swift and Kotlin) | Heavy device features, games | Highest | No, two apps |
