Why Firebase for this
Where Flutter strains is deep platform integration. Heavy Bluetooth work, complex camera pipelines and background processing all need platform channels, and at that point some of the cross-platform saving goes back.
Firebase is strongest at the fastest path to a working mobile backend with offline sync. For flutter app development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: query limitations and costs that grow awkwardly as data volume rises. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

- Platform channels where native capability is genuinely needed
- Both store submissions handled
- Honest guidance on where Flutter is the wrong choice
Questions
Flutter or React Native?
Flutter for heavy custom UI and pixel-identical design across platforms. React Native if your team already writes TypeScript or you share code with a web app. Both are production-credible, the deciding factor is usually your team, not the framework.
Is Flutter production-ready?
Yes, and has been for years. It runs serious apps at scale. The considerations are hiring and platform-channel work, not maturity.
Can Flutter build our web app too?
Technically yes, and we would usually advise against it. Flutter web produces heavy bundles and unusual SEO behaviour; a proper web front end serves that job better.
Alternatives for flutter app development
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
