Cross-platform or native? How we choose
Flutter or native iOS/Android? The right answer depends on your product, team and budget. Here's our decision framework.
Cross-platform tools like Flutter have closed most of the gap with native — but not all of it. Here's how we decide on each project.
Choose cross-platform when
- You want one codebase and faster time to market
- Your UI is custom and consistent across platforms
- Budget matters and most features are standard
Choose native when
- You need deep platform integration or the latest OS features
- Performance is mission-critical (e.g. heavy graphics)
- You already have strong native teams
