Codebase
You probably want cross-platform if...
You need both iOS and Android and want to launch at the same time
You're a startup or SaaS and need mobile MVP development fast
You want a one codebase app, not two teams and two codebases
Your app is standard CRUD, content, or commerce not gaming or heavy AR

Our take: For 80% of business apps SaaS, ecommerce, content, social, productivity cross-platform is the smart default. Go native only when you specifically need what native gives you.
React Native or Flutter, we pick the right one
Both are excellent. The choice depends on your team, ecosystem, and product needs.
Flutter development
Flutter development built on Google's rendering engine for identical UI across devices. Best when pixel-perfect UI control matters most.
Best for
Design-heavy apps · Animation-rich apps · Apps requiring identical UI · Custom UI/branding

Things cross-platform clients ask before starting
For most business apps SaaS, ecommerce, content, social no. Modern React Native and Flutter deliver near-native performance and platform-adaptive UI. Users notice when you need heavy 3D, AR, or deep OS integrations; we'll flag that on your scoping call.
React Native when you have a web/React team or want JS/TS everywhere. Flutter when pixel-perfect, identical UI across devices matters most. We recommend one on your scoping call based on your team, timeline, and product not preference.
Typically ~95% of native for standard CRUD, lists, and navigation. Animations and complex gestures are very close on modern stacks. Gaming, heavy AR, and intensive real-time graphics are where native still wins.
Yes. Both React Native and Flutter support native modules Swift/Kotlin bridges for camera, BLE, payments, or platform-specific SDKs. We architect with extension points so you're not locked in.
Over-the-air updates (via Expo EAS or similar) let you push JavaScript/asset changes without waiting for App Store or Play Store review ideal for bug fixes and small UI tweaks. Store policy still requires native binary updates for major changes.
You do. We build in your Git repos and publish under your Apple Developer and Google Play accounts. You get full source, credentials handoff, and documentation at launch.
