Our recommendation
When to choose it
Choose Flutter when you want its Dart and widget architecture. Learn platform integration alongside the shared UI rather than assuming every device feature is identical.
A good fit for
- A team choosing Dart
- Apps designed around a shared Flutter UI
Choose something else when
Choose Expo when React and TypeScript continuity matters more than adopting a new UI language.
Watch out for
- A shared codebase still needs platform-specific testing and release setup.
- Some capabilities need plugins or native platform integration.
How costs work
Open-source SDK; infrastructure costs are separate
Budget separately for the backend and any hosted build or release services you choose.
