Flutter is an open source mobile app development platform introduced by Google in 2015 that allows developers to create visually attractive and fast mobile apps for both Android and iOS using one codebase. The cost of developing a Flutter app ranges from $15,000 to $40,000 depending on factors like the developer's hourly rate and the complexity of the app. Choosing Flutter over other platforms can save developers time since only one codebase needs to be written and tested. Maintaining a Flutter app costs around 20% of the initial development cost annually to address bugs, design changes, and app updates.

2. In true sense, mobile apps have become a crucial part of human life in this
modern arena. Whether you’re hungry, want to purchase clothes, you just
open the app and order online. The world is going mobile at a faster pace.
That’s the reason, for businesses creating mobile apps, have become
inevitable as humans are seeking flexibility and comfort.
Android and iOS are the two dominant platforms in the market on which
your need to deploy your mobile apps. This often becomes confusing for
entrepreneurs to choose the right one. This is where the most popular
hybrid cross-platform Flutter comes into the picture!

3. What is Flutter?
Flutter is an open source mobile app development platform introduced
by Google in 2015 with a beta version. This platform enables flutter app
developers to create great mobile applications with its advanced widgets
and tools and provide visually attractive fast mobile apps on both the
platforms- Android and iOS separately. The list of advantages that Flutter
offers is very long, some of which are as follows:
● It is absolutely free
● The platform is based on a dart- a fast, purpose-oriented
programming language which is in itself easy to learn

4. ● The platform provides its own widgets that are created with its own
high-performance interpretation engine, which makes the widgets
fast and customizable
● With the amazing widgets options, you can create very attractive
mobile apps with absolutely stunning UIs
● The structure of Flutter is based on the very popular reactive
programming language of today’s
● This platform has become a rival of reactive native and also native
apps

5. How is Flutter mobile app development cost estimated?
The best formula to measure the cost of app development in Flutter lies
in calculating the numbers of hours a flutter app development company
takes and multiply it with billable hours.
UI/UX design hours + hours consumed to develop app on this platform +
Backend server x Hourly rate of flutter app developers

6. Being a new platform in the app development market, Flutter comes with
its unique list of benefits related to complete Native experience,
supporting comprehensive documentation and app running time of
60FPS. Since this platform is new, the cost of Flutter mobile app
development services is relatively high, ranging from $15,000 to $40,000
depending upon your developer or the flutter app development services
you had hired.

7. Why choose Flutter platform over others?

8. 1. Time-saving: By using the same code for a myriad of mobile app
platforms, a developer can easily save their time as they don’t have to
write different codes for different platforms in different languages. This
is where cross-platform excels as it enables you to become faster and
deliver alluring apps in the given timeframe.
2. Consumes less testing time: As we all know the base code is the same for
every platform, mobile app testers need to test the application on
different devices. But with Flutter app development, the quality
assurance team has to test the single version of the app, which
ultimately reduces 50% time of testers.

9. 3. Wide reach: Don’t forget that a cross-platform provide the mobile app with a
wide reach as compared to native apps.
4. Increases productivity: With Flutter it is easy! This platform doesn’t require
developers to recompile the code every time changes are made as the change is
visible immediately after it is saved. This ultimately boosts the productivity of
developers.
5. CD assistance: To alleviate the workload of developers, Google has further tied
up with Codemagic- a CD solution- to automatically detect, test, develop and
package the applications built using Flutter without any configuration. This
eventually enhances the scalability of the platform and makes quick integration
with larger applications.

10. How to estimate the cost of flutter app
maintenance?
Unfortunately, the journey of Flutter mobile app development or any
other mobile app development doesn’t come to an end with its final
development. Businesses have to continue their journey app by
upgrading it with the changing trends and new device or versions in the
operating systems that come with a cost.
1. App update: App updates are something that gives users
something more intriguing. However, it depends on the business
owner when an app update is required, which incurs a developing
cost.

11. 1. Bug-fixes: No app is bug-free at all. And once your app gets
published it becomes tough to fix those bugs so it is important to
detect such bugs before it’s online.
2. Design changes: App designs are something that fascinates users
but becomes outdated after a while. So to engage customers with
your app, it is important to change app design and make it more
accessible to users.
Overall, Flutter app maintenance cost is calculated at the annual
estimation of 20% of the whole app development cost.
