Sure. Flutter applications are known for their remarkably high native performance. The SDK has most of the native components, and there is no need for a bridge to communicate with native modules. Although depending on the features, some things might of course run slightly less smoothly, the overall performance is as good as the one of natively created apps.

Choosing Flutter for your project means using just one codebase, within one technologically connected team, going at one pace. You don’t have to look for vendors of two different technologies and then synchronize their work. There’s no need to duplicate the same payment function or social media authorization. However, this doesn’t mean that you will be able to limit the number of outlays by two times. It is often a bit more complicated to deliver a certain functionality for cross-platform.

To grasp the bigger picture here, let’s take a look at some numbers. It is estimated that it can take up to 20% – 50% more time to create a cross-platform feature than to create the same feature natively. However, compared to building both apps separately, 20% to 50% more time spent can still be a winning case for your budget.

Also, try to think about the course of events once your application succeeds. When it goes into maintenance it is much easier to maintain the app with one Flutter specialist. Your business might not be able to find tasks for several different developers full-time just by maintaining the code.

React Native is often mentioned as the closest competitor to Flutter. Both can save you time and resources, both will grant you a great performing, native-like app. Before taking your pick, it’s best to review your project’s requirements and specify your own needs. However, here are some factors to keep in mind.

• User Interface: if you care about gesture-related UI (swiping, dragging, etc.) or would like the UI to reflect your branding, Flutter will be the way to go.
• Project scope: if your app is going to be maintained and developed over the years (or the team working on it may change over time),Flutter may be a better solution.
• Mechanisms and integration: If you wish to use more complex mechanisms (Bluetooth, biometrics, geolocation) or external integrations (payments, social media), go with React Native – it has a wider spectrum of libraries available for now.
• Web development: If the web is the key touchpoint for your business, choose React Native. The framework produces a browser application much closer to native developed products and seems to be more stable at the moment.

Absolutely. The sky is no longer the limit! Anything that can be developed natively, can be done in Flutter as well. Most of the features can be implemented within the Flutter architecture. However, even if some solutions are not directly available there, you can always implement some parts of your app natively and call them from Flutter using Platform Channels.
