Unlike Android app development, which uses different languages or platforms for frontend and backend development, Flutter uses a single language for both, backend and frontend development. This language is Dart. With this framework, developers also do not need to get references as Flutter development includes the use of widgets. These widgets are similar to LEGO blocks, which get used

together to create an object. These widgets can be used with a modern reactive framework to design the frontend. The same widgets get used to build the backend.

The answer depends on the complexity of your mobile app.

If you are interested in cross platform app development to build a simple app or a minimum viable product (MVP), then the Dart programming language of Flutter will help in building this app in less time than native mobile app development. Moreover, it will also cost you less.

If you want to develop a complicated app with multiple functionalities, then also it will be cheaper than native mobile app development with Flutter.

If you want to build a large app, in which you will insert native code at some widgets, it will not shorten your mobile app development cycle and it is likely to cost you the same as a native iOS and Android app development.

Yes, you can have the same features in the Flutter app as in a native app if you choose the right Flutter app development company that holds this skill. Some features can be developed only using native code, but the good news is this code can be inserted into Flutter to add those native features.

For any company that wants to develop a cross platform app and does not need too many native features, Flutter is a good choice. In another case, native app development is a better choice.

In the case of a startup, the ideas of the apps are pretty straightforward and in many cases, the businesses need an MVP to raise funds or test the target market. In this case, Flutter mobile app development can reap the expected results.
