What You Get

What You Get When You Hire a Flutter Developer

What a Flutter developer does so one team can serve both app stores.

  • One Codebase, Two Stores

    A single Dart project that builds the iPhone and Android versions of your app.

  • Custom Interface Building

    Widgets and layouts that look the same on both platforms, or adapt where each platform differs.

  • State Management

    Choosing and applying a clear way to hold app data, so screens stay predictable as the app grows.

  • Native Plugins

    Connecting to camera, maps, payments and sensors, and writing native code when a plugin falls short.

  • Widget and Integration Tests

    Automated tests that catch breaking changes before they reach the stores.

  • Builds for Both Stores

    Signing, flavours and release builds for the App Store and Google Play.

Who It Suits

When to Hire a Flutter Developer

Flutter skills help most in these situations.

  • Startups

    You need both platforms from a single team

    You cannot fund two separate native teams, but your users are split across iPhone and Android.

    • One developer to start
    • Shared features on both platforms
    • Room to grow the team later
    Flutter app development
  • Product teams

    Your brand needs a distinctive interface

    Your design goes beyond standard system controls and must look the same on every device.

    • Custom animation and layouts
    • Design system built once
    • Fewer platform differences to test
    Cross-platform app development
  • Existing app owners

    You are rebuilding two apps as one

    Maintaining separate iOS and Android apps is slowing every release, and you want one codebase instead.

    • Plan the move screen by screen
    • Run old and new side by side
    • Reuse your existing backend

Hiring Choice

One Flutter Developer or Two Native Developers?

Flutter lets a single developer cover both phones, while native work uses one specialist for each. The right call depends on what the app has to do. We help you weigh it before the team shape is agreed.

A Flutter developer is usually the better choice when

  • The app is mostly screens, forms and API calls
  • You want matching features on both platforms together
  • Budget or headcount is tight
  • Your design is custom rather than system-styled

Our Process

How Hiring Works

Every project moves from a written scope to agreed review points, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

  1. Brief and NDA

    Once a mutual NDA is signed, you share the app idea or code, and your target platforms.

    Needs understood
  2. Team Shape

    We agree whether one Flutter developer will do, or whether a native specialist should join them.

    Shape and model agreed
  3. Scope and Hours

    Flutter tasks, hours and overlap with your time zone are recorded in a written scope.

    Scope in writing
  4. Onboarding

    Your delivery lead gets the developer into your repository, Jira board and signing setup for both stores.

    First builds running
  5. Sprints and Demos

    Sprint demos show the app on both platforms, and the team can be resized by agreement.

Cost

What Affects the Cost of Hiring a Flutter Developer

Flutter often needs fewer people than two native apps, but cost still depends on the app. We confirm these drivers in the written scope and publish no standard rate.

  • Seniority needed

    Choosing architecture and state management for a large app calls for more experience than building screens.

  • Native depth

    Apps that need Bluetooth, background tasks or custom platform code add native work.

  • Interface complexity

    Heavily animated or branded screens take longer than standard layouts.

  • Team size

    A Flutter developer on their own costs less than a pod with a native specialist and a tester.

  • Engagement model

    Dedicated team, team extension and fixed-scope project delivery are managed differently.

  • Existing code

    Taking over a Flutter app with outdated packages means upgrade work first.

FAQ

Hiring FAQs

What does a Flutter developer do?

They write the app once in Dart and build it for iPhone and Android. They also handle screens, app data, native plugins and store builds.

Is Flutter suitable for my app?

It suits most business apps made of screens, forms and data from an API. Apps that lean hard on device hardware may need extra native work, which we flag in the scope.

Does the developer need to know native Android and iOS?

Some native knowledge helps when a plugin is missing. If your app needs a lot of it, we can add a native specialist to the team.

Can a Flutter developer take over an existing app?

Yes. They review the code and packages first, then agree changes in a written scope before work starts.

Do I get one codebase for both stores?

Yes, with small platform-specific parts where needed. Both apps build from the same project.

Who owns the Flutter code?

You do. IP assignment is confirmed in the contract, and the code and documentation come to you as the work progresses and at handover.
