Ship Mobile Apps Faster
Build for iOS and Android without hiring two separate teams. Our mobile developers ship production apps to the App Store and Google Play—not just tutorial projects.
Get vetted mobile developers in 48 hours. 50-70% less than US rates.
Mobile Development Options
Cross-Platform (Recommended for Most)
Build one codebase that runs on both iOS and Android. Faster development, lower cost, easier maintenance.
Flutter Google’s framework for beautiful, performant cross-platform apps. Single codebase compiles to native iOS and Android.
Best for: Consumer apps, e-commerce, fintech, apps where custom UI matters.
React Native JavaScript-based framework from Meta. Ideal for teams already using React on web.
Best for: Teams with React expertise, apps needing web/mobile code sharing, rapid prototyping.

Native Development
Build separately for each platform. Maximum performance and platform-specific features.
iOS (Swift) Native iOS development for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.
Best for: iOS-only products, apps requiring deep Apple ecosystem integration, performance-critical apps.
Android (Kotlin) Native Android development for phones, tablets, and wearables.
Best for: Android-only products, enterprise Android, apps requiring deep Google/Samsung integration.
Which Approach Should You Choose?
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| New app, limited budget | Flutter or React Native |
| Need iOS and Android simultaneously | Flutter or React Native |
| Team already knows React | React Native |
| Custom UI is critical | Flutter |
| iOS-only product | Native Swift |
| Android-only product | Native Kotlin |
| Enterprise with compliance requirements | Native (either) |
| Games or AR/VR | Native (either) |
Not sure? For most startups building mobile products in 2026, Flutter is the best choice—beautiful UI, excellent performance, one codebase for both platforms.
Common Mobile Tech Stacks

Mobile Team Combinations
Solo Mobile Developer For: MVPs, simple apps, adding mobile to existing products Typical: 1 Flutter or React Native developer
Cross-Platform Pair For: Production apps needing frontend + backend work Typical: 1 Mobile Developer + 1 Backend Developer
Full Mobile Team For: Complex apps, multiple products, ongoing development Typical: 2 Mobile Developers + 1 Backend Developer + 1 QA Engineer + 1 Designer
Frequently Asked Questions
Flutter vs React Native: Which should I choose?
Choose Flutter for better performance, beautiful custom UIs, and when you’re starting fresh. Flutter apps feel more native and development is faster.
Choose React Native if your team already uses React, you want to share code with a web app, or you need specific native modules.
Our recommendation: Flutter for most new mobile projects in 2026.
Should I build cross-platform or native?
Cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) for 90% of apps. You get both platforms from one codebase at half the cost and time.
Native (Swift/Kotlin) when you need maximum performance, deep platform integration, or platform-specific features that cross-platform can’t deliver.
How much do mobile developers cost?
Mobile developers: $5,000-8,000/month (50-70% less than US rates of $12,000-15,000+/month). Cross-platform and native developers cost roughly the same.
Can you build apps for both iOS and Android?
Yes. With Flutter or React Native, one developer builds for both platforms. For native, you’d hire one iOS developer and one Android developer.
