In some countries iPhones dominate; in others, Android devices of every price point are the norm. A global app must work well across that mix.
Cross-platform strengths
Flutter and React Native let one team build for iOS and Android together, keeping features in sync and reducing cost.
Native strengths
Native development gives the deepest access to device features and the most platform-specific polish.
Think about your markets
If most users are on high-end devices in a few countries, either approach works. If you need to perform well on budget Android phones, test performance carefully whichever you choose.
Localisation
Plan for different date formats, currencies and, where needed, languages.
FAQs
Is Flutter fast enough?
For most business apps, yes.
Can we start cross-platform and go native later?
Yes, though it means rebuilding parts of the app.
Which is easier to maintain?
A single cross-platform codebase is usually easier for small teams.
