Flutter Mobile App Development

Typical engagement: $8k–$45k · 4–12 weeks

What this is

Ubikon builds iOS and Android apps from a single Flutter codebase — one engineering team, one release cadence, native performance on both platforms. A typical build runs $8k–$45k across 4–12 weeks depending on scope, and ships with authentication, payments, offline sync, push notifications and store submission handled, not left as a follow-up phase.

What you get

Concrete deliverables, not a vague promise.

  • Private Git repository, full commit history, 100% IP transfer on work delivered
  • CI/CD pipeline running lint, typecheck and tests on every merge
  • App Store and Google Play submissions, including store listing copy and screenshots
  • API documentation for every backend endpoint the app depends on
  • A written handover doc: architecture decisions, environment setup, and how to deploy an update

How we build it

Stack and architecture for a typical build.

Flutter and Dart for the app itself, Firebase for auth/push/crash reporting on simpler builds, a custom FastAPI backend when the product needs more than a BaaS can comfortably do, and Razorpay or Stripe for payments depending on the primary market.

The honest comparison

Flutter vs native for a typical product build

Native has real advantages in specific cases — here is where each one actually wins.

Team size to maintainOne team, one codebaseTwo teams, two codebases
Time to ship both platformsIn parallel, same timelineEffectively double, unless staffed for both
Access to brand-new platform APIsUsually within weeks of releaseDay one
Best fitMost product apps: content, commerce, booking, internal toolsApps leaning hard on platform-specific hardware or AR/VR

Process

4–12 weeks, start to launch.

  1. Scoping call

    30 minutes to describe the product; screens, platforms and integrations get listed, not guessed at.

  2. Fixed quote, 48 hours

    Line-item pricing by screen and feature, plus a milestone plan.

  3. Weekly builds

    A real build you install on your own phone every week, from week one.

  4. Store submission

    Both stores handled, including responding to review rejections.

Straight answers

What buyers ask about this service

How much does a Flutter app cost? +

Most builds run $8,000–$45,000 depending on screen count, integrations and design complexity. A booking or content app sits at the lower end; an app with payments, real-time chat and an admin panel sits higher.

Why Flutter instead of building native iOS and Android apps separately? +

One Flutter codebase covers both platforms with native-level performance, which roughly halves ongoing maintenance cost versus two separate native codebases. We reach for native only when a product genuinely needs day-one access to brand-new platform APIs or heavy AR/hardware integration.

Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission? +

Yes — store listings, screenshots, and responding to review rejections are part of every mobile engagement, not a separate line item.

Can you take over an existing Flutter app someone else built? +

Yes. We start with a codebase audit against our published standards before quoting further work, so you know what you are inheriting before we touch it.

What backend do you pair with the app? +

Firebase for simpler builds where a BaaS covers the need; a custom FastAPI + PostgreSQL backend once the product needs real business logic, complex queries, or data ownership a BaaS makes awkward.
