Flutter specialist since 2018

Flutter renders independently from the manufacturer or Android version. One codebase that looks and behaves the same on Samsung, Google, Xiaomi and every screen size.

Phone and tablet

We test on a wide range of Android devices and ensure the app works well across all screen sizes.

Dedicated contact person

No large organisation with rotating teams. You always work with the same developer who knows your project from start to finish.

Our approach

Have an Android app built with Flutter

For most Android projects, Flutter is the best choice. With Flutter we build an app that fully supports Android features like the camera, fingerprint scanner and location services. To the end user it feels no different from a Kotlin app, but it is built from a single codebase that also runs on iOS.

On Android, Flutter's own rendering engine is a particular advantage: the app looks and behaves consistently across the wide variety of Android phones and tablets, regardless of manufacturer or OS version.

  • Native performance and native feel on Android phone and tablet
  • Access to camera, fingerprint scanner, notifications, GPS and more
  • Single codebase: iOS can be added easily later
  • Google Play submission included, with review guidance

In exceptional cases where deep Android integrations are needed, such as Android Auto or manufacturer-specific SDKs, we advise native Kotlin. We will discuss this openly during the introductory call.

Costs

What does it cost to have an Android app built?

A simple Android app starts from €10,000. A full app with a backend, multiple user roles and integrations can quickly reach €30,000 to €60,000 or more.

Because we build with Flutter, you pay for one codebase instead of two separate native apps. Want to add iOS later? The extra work is considerably less than if you had started with a native Kotlin app.

  • Number of screens and features: more features means more development time.
  • Backend: does the app need a server for data or user management?
  • Design: fully custom UI or building on an existing design?
  • Integrations: does the app need to communicate with external systems or APIs?

Veelgestelde vragen

Veelgestelde vragen over Android app development

What technology do you use for Android apps?

For almost all Android projects we use Flutter. Flutter compiles to native ARM code and gives access to all Android features through platform channels, including the camera, fingerprint scanner, location, Bluetooth and push notifications. In practice, the difference from a native Kotlin app is imperceptible to end users.

A key advantage: the codebase also works on iOS, so expanding later does not require starting from scratch. In the rare cases where deep Android integrations are needed, such as Android Auto or manufacturer-specific SDKs, we advise native Kotlin.

Is a Flutter Android app as good as a native Kotlin app?

In most cases, yes. Flutter compiles to native ARM code and renders its own UI elements through the Impeller engine. The app feels native on Android: the animations, transitions and interactions are exactly what you would expect from a Kotlin app.

On Android, Flutter's own rendering is a particular advantage: the app looks and behaves consistently across the wide variety of Android phones and tablets, regardless of manufacturer or OS version.

Can the Android app also run on iOS?

Yes, that is one of the benefits of Flutter. Because we build from a single codebase, the step to iOS is relatively small. You can start with Android only and later decide to support iOS — the foundation is already in place.

Want to launch on Android and iOS at the same time? That is also possible. The extra cost compared to Android-only is significantly lower with Flutter than with two separate native apps.

What does it cost to have an Android app built?

A simple Android app starts from €10,000. A fully developed app with a backend, multiple user roles and external integrations can quickly reach €30,000 to €60,000 or more. The exact price depends on the number of screens, backend complexity and design requirements.

After an intake call we provide a transparent quote per phase. For a full breakdown of all pricing factors, see our app development costs page.

How long does it take to build an Android app?

A simple Android app is ready in 2 to 3 months. A more complex app with a backend, multiple user roles and integrations takes 4 to 6 months. We work in two-week rounds, so you get a testable version after every round.

After the app is approved, the Google Play review process typically takes 1 to 3 business days. We guide you through the entire publication process.

How does Google Play publication work?

To publish in the Google Play Store, you need a Google Play Developer Account. You apply for this yourself via play.google.com/console — it costs €25 as a one-time fee. The app is then published under your own name.

We handle the complete publication process: screenshots, app description, categorisation and submission to Google. We also support you if Google has questions or if there is a delay in the review.
