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.

Check current official terms and pricing ↗

This is a pricing model, not a monthly quote. Check your region, intended usage and current plan before buying.

What connects to it

  • Dart and Flutter packages
  • Native platform plugins and channels

These are technical connections you can configure. Selecting a card creates no accounts or resources.
