If you need an app on both Android and iOS, the first big decision is whether to build two native apps or one cross-platform app.
Cross-platform (Flutter, React Native)
One codebase for both platforms means lower cost and faster delivery. It’s the right choice for most business apps.
Native (Kotlin, Swift)
Two separate apps give the best performance and full access to device features. It’s worth it for apps with heavy graphics, complex hardware use or very large audiences.
Our recommendation
Start cross-platform unless you have a specific reason not to. You can always move performance-critical parts to native later.
