"The True Cost of Mobile App Development: Flutter Edition"

Estimating the cost of a Flutter app requires understanding scope, integrations, maintenance, and testing. This post breaks down typical cost drivers.

Cost components

  • Discovery & design: product definition and UX flows.
  • Development: UI, business logic, and state management.
  • Backend & APIs: data endpoints, auth, and storage.
  • QA & testing: cross-device testing and regression.
  • Maintenance: updates, OS compatibility, and third-party library updates.

Budget ranges

  • Simple MVP: lower cost with limited screens and features.
  • Mid-sized app: integrations, analytics, and polished UI increase costs.
  • Enterprise app: compliance, SSO, and robust backend work raise costs more.

Tips to reduce cost

  • Start with an MVP focused on core user value.
  • Use shared components and clear design systems.
