Why Flutter for this
The framework choice should follow your team. A TypeScript team picking Dart, or a Dart team picking TypeScript, spends its first months learning rather than shipping.
Flutter is strongest at pixel-identical UI across platforms and excellent animation performance. For cross-platform app development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: Dart is a smaller hiring pool than TypeScript in most Indian markets. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

We are not a reseller for Google and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- Framework selection based on your team and requirements, not our preference
- Shared codebase with platform-specific behaviour where it matters
- Native modules for capability the framework cannot reach
- Both store submissions handled
- Performance benchmarked on real mid-range devices
- A clear statement of what you give up versus native
Questions
How much do we actually save?
Typically a third to a half against two separate native teams. Real, but less than the pitch, QA, releases and platform quirks do not halve.
When should we go native instead?
Heavy hardware integration, serious background processing, graphics-intensive interfaces, or when platform-specific feel is a competitive point for you.
Can we migrate from native later?
Yes, and usually incrementally, screen by screen rather than as one rewrite, which keeps the app shippable throughout.
Alternatives for cross-platform app development
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
