One App for iPhone and Android

A cross-platform app is built once and runs on both iPhone and Android. Instead of paying two teams to write two apps, you pay for one codebase. That usually means a lower price and a faster launch.

We build cross-platform apps in Fort Lauderdale using Flutter and React Native, the two most popular tools for this kind of work. Today's cross-platform apps look and feel like native apps to most users. Many apps you use every day are built this way.

This is the most common choice for our startup and small business clients. Call (954) 751-4998 and we'll tell you if it fits your app.

What's Included in a Cross-Platform Project

Planning and Scope

We set the launch features and check that the phone features you need work well in a cross-platform build.

Design for Both Platforms

One design that feels right on iPhone and Android, with small platform touches where they matter.

Flutter or React Native Build

We pick the tool that fits your app and your team, and build one shared codebase.

Backend and Admin

Sign-in, data, push alerts and an admin panel, often on Firebase.

Testing on Both Platforms

We test on real iPhones and Android phones before launch.

Launch on Both Stores

We submit to the App Store and Google Play and handle both reviews.

Our Cross-Platform Tech Stack

  • Flutter
  • React Native
  • Firebase

Flutter is Google's free tool for building apps from one codebase. React Native comes from Meta and uses JavaScript. Firebase gives both kinds of apps sign-in, a database and push alerts.

What a Cross-Platform App Costs

A cross-platform first version of a startup app usually costs $15,000 to $30,000. A business app with payments, dashboards or integrations runs $20,000 to $50,000. Marketplace apps with buyers, sellers and payments cost $18,000 to $60,000 or more.

Because you're paying for one codebase instead of two, cross-platform is often the lowest-cost way to reach both stores.

Flutter vs. React Native: Which Fits Your App?

Both tools are good. The right one depends on your app and your plans.

Flutter paints every pixel itself, so the app looks the same on every phone. It's a strong pick for apps with a custom look, smooth animation and lots of screens.

React Native uses JavaScript, the same language behind most websites. It's a good pick if you already have a web team or a web app you want to share code with.

We don't push one tool on every client. We'll recommend one after we hear what you're building.

Cross-Platform vs. Native: The Trade-Offs

Cross-platform saves money and time on most apps. But it isn't always the best choice.

  • Cost: one codebase usually costs less than two native apps.
  • Speed: you launch on both stores at the same time.
  • Performance: fine for most business and consumer apps. Heavy 3D games and some hardware-heavy apps do better native.
  • New phone features: native apps can use brand-new Apple and Google features first. Cross-platform tools catch up, but not always right away.

If your app leans on the camera, Bluetooth hardware or new Apple features, we may suggest native iOS development or native Android development instead.

Who Cross-Platform Works Best For

Cross-platform is a strong fit for most of the apps Fort Lauderdale businesses ask us about:

  • Booking and scheduling apps for salons, gyms, charters and clinics.
  • Ordering and loyalty apps for restaurants and shops.
  • Marketplace apps that connect buyers and sellers.
  • Member and customer portals with accounts, messages and payments.
  • Internal tools for staff who carry a mix of iPhones and Android phones.

If your idea is on this list, cross-platform will likely save you money. If it isn't, we'll talk through the options in your free consultation.

Adding a Web App or Admin Dashboard

Many apps need a web side too: an admin panel for your staff, or a web version for customers on a laptop. With the right setup, the web side can share the same backend and data as the phone app. We'll plan it with you so the pieces fit together.

Cross-Platform App FAQs

Is cross-platform cheaper than native?

Usually, yes. You pay for one codebase instead of two. Most cross-platform first versions cost $15,000 to $30,000, and business apps run $20,000 to $50,000.

Will a Flutter app feel native?

For most users, yes. Flutter apps run fast and can follow iPhone and Android styles. Most people can't tell the difference.

Can you convert my existing app?

Yes. If you have separate iPhone and Android apps that cost too much to maintain, we can rebuild them as one cross-platform app. We'll review your current code first and tell you what makes sense.

Flutter or React Native?

It depends on your app. Flutter is great for custom designs and animation. React Native is great if you have a web team using JavaScript. We'll recommend one after the free consultation.
