Problems we solve before they ship
Framework Indecision Stalls Your Launch
Teams spend weeks — sometimes months — debating React Native vs Flutter without a clear framework. Every week of paralysis is a week your product is not in users' hands. The wrong choice locks you into expensive migrations later.
Our fix
We evaluate your team's existing stack, feature set, target device range, and performance requirements — then deliver a written framework recommendation with full rationale within the discovery week.
Cross-platform done the right way
~40% Lower Development Cost
One codebase instead of two separate native teams means roughly 40% less engineering time, one QA cycle, and one set of release mechanics.
Simultaneous Platform Updates
Ship features to iOS and Android at the same time. No more "Android update coming next week." One PR, two store releases.
Near-Native Performance
Modern React Native (JSI + Hermes) and Flutter (Impeller) render native components. Real users can't distinguish from native in 95% of app categories.
Shared Business Logic
Auth, state management, API calls, data models — written once, running everywhere. Only the UI layer adapts to each platform.
Platform-Specific Polish
We write Swift or Kotlin native modules where frameworks fall short: navigation patterns, haptics, biometrics, and OS-specific APIs.
Faster Iteration Cycles
Hot reload cuts feedback loops. Design changes, bug fixes, and new features reach both platforms in the same sprint.
React Native vs Flutter — honest comparison
We recommend the right framework after understanding your team, product, and timeline — not one-size-fits-all.
React Native
JavaScript / TypeScript
- Largest community & ecosystem
- Reuse existing React / web knowledge
- Expo for zero-config project setup
- New Architecture: JSI + Hermes engine
Best for: Teams with React/JS expertise. Apps that share logic with a web frontend.
Flutter
Dart
- Pixel-perfect custom UI via Impeller
- Faster rendering on low-end Android
- Web + desktop from the same codebase
- Strong Dart type safety end-to-end
Best for: Highly branded UIs, desktop targets, or when you need maximum rendering control.
Framework → Design → Build → Both Stores
From framework decision to simultaneous dual-store launch — transparent sprint delivery.
Framework Decision & Architecture
We evaluate your team, feature set, performance needs, and target device range — then recommend React Native or Flutter with written reasoning. Architecture, state management, and navigation pattern decided before a single line of code.
Platform-Adaptive Design System
UI components designed to follow iOS HIG on iPhone and Material Design 3 on Android — from one design system. Figma screens reviewed on real devices across both platforms before engineering begins.
Dual-Platform Development & Testing
Shared logic layer + platform UI layer. Feature branches, code review, and automated tests run on iOS Simulator and Android Emulator — plus real devices for every release candidate. EAS Build or Fastlane CI from sprint one.
Both Stores, Simultaneously
App Store + Play Store submissions happen in parallel. One launch plan, two store approvals, dual-platform staged rollout. We write App Review responses and Play Store reviewer communication if anything comes back.

Questions we get all the time
If yours is not here, reach out. We respond within 24 hours with a real answer from an engineer — not a sales pitch.
For 95% of app categories — yes. Social apps, marketplaces, dashboards, productivity tools, e-commerce, health apps — React Native and Flutter are indistinguishable from native in user testing. The exceptions are apps with heavy 3D graphics or video editing where native engines still lead.
React Native if your team knows JavaScript/TypeScript or you have an existing web React codebase to share logic with. Flutter if you need highly custom UI that doesn't look like standard iOS or Android components, or if you're targeting desktop alongside mobile. We make a clear recommendation after understanding your situation.
Yes. Developer accounts, app signing, store listings, metadata, screenshots, and review responses — we manage the full dual-store submission process simultaneously and handle any reviewer feedback from either platform.
Yes. Both frameworks have well-established escape hatches — Swift modules in React Native, platform channels in Flutter. We can add iOS-only features like Live Activities or Android-only features like App Shortcuts without rebuilding anything.
A well-scoped MVP with auth, core features, backend integration, and dual-store submission takes 6–10 weeks. Apps with complex offline sync, real-time features, or payment flows take 12–18 weeks. We give a realistic estimate after the discovery week.
Roughly 40% versus building separate Swift and Kotlin apps, because one codebase means one engineering team, one QA cycle, and one set of release mechanics. A typical cross-platform MVP runs $30,000–$70,000 against $60,000–$120,000 for two native builds. You also ship features to both stores in a single PR instead of maintaining two timelines.
In 95% of app categories, no. Modern React Native (JSI + Hermes + Fabric) and Flutter (Impeller renderer) draw native components at 60fps, and we write Swift or Kotlin native modules wherever a framework hits its ceiling. The exceptions are heavy 3D games, AR, and pro video editing, where we'll honestly recommend native instead.
You own 100% of the React Native or Flutter source with full Git history — no lock-in. Both frameworks have well-established escape hatches, so we can add iOS-only features like Live Activities or Android-only features like App Shortcuts at any point using Swift modules or Flutter platform channels, without rebuilding the app.
“Ethersofts took over a project two agencies fumbled. They untangled the mess, rebuilt critical parts, and shipped in 6 weeks. The codebase is clean and our users actually like it now.”
