10+ years of experience

We have been building apps for leading organisations in the Netherlands for over a decade.

Flutter specialist

We were one of the first agencies in the Netherlands to work with Flutter. One codebase, both platforms, native performance.

No outsourcing

All development happens in-house, in Rotterdam. You always know who is working on your project.

Our approach

How we build your app

Discovery and planning

We start with a thorough intake: what problem does the app solve, who are the users, what does the MVP need to contain? We translate your idea into a clear scope before writing a single line of code.

Design and prototype

We design the user interface and build a clickable prototype. You experience the app before any code is written and can give feedback early, where changes are cheapest.

Build and publish

We build in two-week sprints with Flutter for iOS and Android. After each sprint you get a testable version. Once approved, we handle the App Store and Google Play submission for you.

Pricing

What does app development cost?

The cost of an app depends on the complexity, the platform (iOS, Android or both) and the desired features. Key pricing factors:

  • Scope: number of screens, user roles and key flows.
  • Platform: Flutter for both platforms is more efficient than two separate native apps.
  • Backend: does the app need a server-side component, authentication or third-party integrations?
  • Design: pixel-perfect custom UI or building on an existing design system?

Indicative pricing: a simple MVP starts from €10,000. A full app with backend, multiple user roles and integrations quickly reaches €30,000–€60,000+.

Why The Next App

Flutter specialist without outsourcing

We were one of the first agencies in the Netherlands to work seriously with Flutter and have published dozens of Flutter apps since. Our team builds everything in-house, in Rotterdam — no outsourcing, no handoffs.

Flutter compiles to native ARM code and gives access to all device features through platform channels, so the difference from a fully native app is imperceptible in most cases.

  • One codebase for iOS and Android: faster, more cost-efficient
  • Native performance: not a web view, not a hybrid
  • Access to all device features: camera, GPS, push notifications, biometrics
  • After launch: quarterly maintenance advice, no fixed contract

FAQ

Frequently asked questions aboutapp development

How much does it cost to develop an app?

A simple MVP starts from €10,000. A fully developed app with backend, multiple user roles and integrations typically ranges from €30,000 to €60,000 or more.

A Flutter app for both iOS and Android is more cost-efficient than two separate native apps. In a no-obligation call we will give you a realistic estimate based on your specific requirements.

How long does app development take?

Most app projects take between three and six months. A simple app can go live in 2–3 months; a platform with multiple user roles, a backend and integrations takes 4–6 months.

We work in two-week sprints so you always have a working version to test. Publication in the App Store and Google Play adds one to two weeks for the Apple and Google review process.

Why Flutter and not native iOS/Android?

Flutter compiles to native ARM code and gives access to all device features. In most cases, the difference from a fully native app is imperceptible. The benefit: one codebase for both platforms, which is faster to build and cheaper to maintain.

For projects where platform-specific features or maximum performance are critical, we sometimes advise native development. We are honest about which approach fits your project best.

What happens after launch?

After launch we handle maintenance, updates and further development. Each quarter we issue an advisory report with recommended work: OS updates, dependency upgrades, bug fixes and security patches.

You decide which work to commission — no fixed contract, no obligation. Deferring maintenance builds up technical debt, so we advise keeping a small regular maintenance budget.
