App solutions at any scale.
Delivering acceleration, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
Through:
Developing an app for N platforms with a common codebase in Dart/Flutter saves up to (1 - 1 / N) x 100 percent of the time with equal resources, because separate apps for each platform do not have to be programmed.
For instance developing an app for iOS and Android saves up to (1 - 1 / 2) x 100 = , for iOS, Android and Web up to (1 - 1 / 3) x 100 = of the time needed to develop them separately.
The developer experience and just-in-time (JIT) compilation of Flutter accelerate the app development process by up to .
Boost efficiency and speed with my over ready-to-use assets, libs and services for common cases and functionalities.

Flutter as an open-source project from Google comes with continuous development and the use of the latest concepts and technologies with over stable releases since 2018 as well as a large and dedicated community with over Flutter libraries available for free use, stars on GitHub, posts on Stackoverflow, members on Reddit, and more, ensures resources and provides efficient support for app development.
With an enthusiastic and supportive roadmap for further platform development, the Flutter team plan to have four stable releases and 12 beta releases during 2024, mirroring their achievements in 2023, and integrate with the astonishing work of the Google's IDX team.

Flutter apps typically achieve startup times under milliseconds, which is comparable to native apps. This is due to the AOT compilation and efficient rendering pipeline. In various benchmarks, Flutter has been shown to start in of the time it takes for comparable React Native apps due to its direct native code compilation.
Thanks to its efficient use of Skia for rendering, the same graphics engine used by Google Chrome and Android, Flutter stays well within the limit of keeping rendering per frame below milliseconds to maintain refresh rate, ensuring fluid UI interactions. Flutter's UI thread typically consumes less than milliseconds per frame, leaving ample headroom for complex animations and interactions without dropping frames. On devices that support higher refresh rates, Flutter can achieve up to , offering even smoother visual performance.
Flutter applications tend to have optimized memory usage due to the efficient garbage collection in Dart. While exact memory usage can vary based on the app, Flutter's memory footprint is competitive with native applications. The CPU usage of Flutter apps is optimized through direct native code execution. Benchmarks show that Flutter apps often utilize less CPU compared to hybrid frameworks that rely on a JavaScript bridge, such as React Native.
The Flutter Gallery app, which showcases various Flutter widgets and layouts, scores consistently high on rendering benchmarks. For instance, it can render complex UIs at with minimal CPU and memory overhead.
An app for Android and iOS is to be developed. With an assumed lifespan of 5 years and 20% annual costs for operation and support, the app implemented with Flutter only just reaches the initial costs of the native approach, whereas these have already doubled since implementation when the end-of-life is reached.
Save time and budget with integrated compliance as a service, leveraging
existing solutions to streamline processes, reduce complexity, and avoid
extended timelines. Boost efficiency and speed without re-creating functions
or adding extra payroll costs.
